WWF was more popular than shoot fighting in the 90s so people didn't really care that much. Nowadays MMA fighters are considered cooler than pro wrestlers, but in the 90s people would have rather seen big characters like Steve Austin because they were more badass and cooler

According to Cornette it never manifested into actual dimes because Russo hated him.

Severn was THE best shooter of his day and yet none of the major feds except the NWA made him a world champion. The NWA was in bad shape during that time, but they were the only ones who didn't fuck up with Severn.

He was good but he ducked the highest level after his first few UFC tourny wins/losses then he just fought about 100 different cans in outlaw mudshits.

He would of done better but he never was actually a top elite guy. He thrived in an environment where he was one of the few guys that knew what he was doing. Nowadays every other fighter would know his skillset inside out and out and have vastly surpassed it. He's a product of his time so there is really no metric to judge that on.

Yeah he also thought Dr death would have drawn millions with Steve Austin, and he had doug basham as his top guy in ovw. Nobody cared that much about Dan Severn when there were far more interesting characters like val venis and godfather on the show. MMA did not have the gravitas back then that it does now

Don't insult Shamrock like that. He was great in the ring and literally invented the pro wrestling version of the ankle lock.

He was pretty dimes but now I'm watching 1999 and this whole angle with his "sister" and the ministry ruined him for me tho, I'm assuming he really fizzles out after this

You're actually near the end of his run. He starts feuding with Jericho and then decided to leave and go back to MMA in September '99.
