Description

Episode 75 is with our probably most decorated guest yet, as we have on a UFC Hall Of Famer, UFC Triple Crown Champion, and former two-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, a man with over 100 wins in his MMA career, and that's not even mentioning his multiple amateur wrestling accolades: Dan "The Beast" Severn.We focus more on Dan's pro wrestling career this episode, with an episode focusing on MMA and UFC to come. We talk about the twist of fate that lead Dan to the pro wrestling business, and training in Lima, Ohio with current TNA star and road agent, Al Snow. After he had wrestling independently and in Japan for a couple of years, Dan was shown a tape of UFC, which had only had a couple of events by that time. He submitted a tape and a resume, and experienced the prejudices of the NHB world against amateur and pro wrestling at that time, though he proved them very wrong. We talk about winning the NWA World Championship off of Chris Candido on a Jim Cornette promoted Smoky Mountain Wrestling card, and working for the NWA under Dennis Coraluzzo. We get into his negotiations with the WWF/WWE, and how he initally felt upon entering the company. We go over his relationship, or lack thereof, with Ken Shamrock, both in the UFC, and the WWF, and why the company never pulled the trigger on their program together. We talk about his alliances and feuds with Shamrock, Steve Blackman, and the late Owen Hart, including a story about the "piledriver angle" with Owen and Dan that many people may not know. Severn wrestled The Rock at King Of The Ring '98, and he talks about his feelings for him at that time, as well as why he was in and out of the "Brawl For All" tournament. We also talk about the "Attitude Era," and whether or not there were any angles proposed for him that he was uncomfortable with, or that he flat out refused. We also talk about his feelings on the WWE calling Brock Lesnar "The Beast Incarnate," as well as many other topics with Mr Severn. Dan Severn's book, "The Realest Guy In The Room," is available now on Amazon and the What Culture store.
