Prior to joining WWE in 1998, Dan Severn was an accomplished main eventer in the world of MMA, having won the UFC Superfight Championship by defeating Ken Shamrock. When Severn followed 'The World's Most Dangerous Man' over to the WWF, it was natural that the two shoot-fighers be paired with one another as they were working a feud in mid-1998. A match never materialized, despite the near guarantee that it would draw a large audience, especially during the early stages of the Attitude Era. Severn would go on to wrestle Owen Hart and also briefly appeared in the doomed Brawl-For-All, but eventually parted ways with WWE in early 1999. Admittedly, Severn was not a company guy and not the most politically correct. His contract with WWE was also unique in that he wasn't exclusively owned by WWE like many of his fellow wrestlers. All of these factors likely hurt his chances at success in the politically-motivated WWE and he was gone before he was able to really make much of an impact.
