10 Super Rare Times WWE Promoted Rival Titles

10. Dan Severn: Belt Collector

Sporting multiple UFC Championships from the MMA league's earliest years as well as an NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship he'd held for three years (in a reign that lasted another year) after his WWE tenure, Dan 'The Beast' Severn looked the part on Night One even if his time with Vince McMahon was destined to be short.

Proffering the strong, silent type of danger that McMahon's historically struggled to promote, Severn was a realistic hard case but struggled to gain a foothold deep into the bombastic bluster of the Attitude Era. This shouldn't have been an issue, particularly with 'The Beast' used as Jim Cornette's old school killer, but the demands of the time called for more of what people loved rather than a sprinkling of difference here and there.

Without a catchphrase, quick-hit finisher or the constant mentioning/showing of t*ts (apart from that time he stretched D'Lo Brown's so hard it tore his pectoral muscle), Severn was a stranger in a strange land regardless of all the gold.
