Dan ‘The Beast’ Severn is more than open to the idea of a WWE Hall of Fame induction.
Severn, an established MMA fighter, joined the WWF in 1997 while part of the National Wrestling Alliance and remained with the promotion until 1999.
Speaking to Wrestling Inc, Severn said that he’s more than worthy of being inducted when you consider others who have been given the nod. He said,
“First off, based on some of the people that are in there, should I be in there? Oh hell yes.
“Now, did they use me correctly? No. In the beginning, they did. But I think they realized, ‘We have no control mechanisms over this guy. If we put a strap on him, who’s to say he’s [not] going to go over to the NWA and lose the strap there?’ … Because again, I’m not working exclusively for the NWA, I’m working for someone else. But at the same token, did they ever converse with me? No. ‘Cause as I stated with you before, I still work matches now.”
Severn is a two-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, with his first reign lasting for over four years, and often entered for matches with his many championships.
The first man to compete for the UFC and WWE at the same time, Severn is part of the NWA Hall of Fame and UFC Hall of Fame.
