Guys, I don’t mean to interrupt your bickering, but damn I love me some Dan Severn.
He had a great moustache! And could beat the hell out of anyone.
Also seriously one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Was going to wrestle him, twice, and both times fell through.

For real?! That sucks it never happened for ya. I only ever heard good things about him too. I wish the WWE would have done Severn vs. Shamrock one time on a PPV though for us.

Worked a booth next to him at Wrestlecon Orlando and he was just the coolest. Turned me into a fan quickly. It sucks WWF didn’t know what to do with him. Feel like Heyman could have booked him well in ECW against Taz and such.

Did Dan ever wrestle in Smoky Mountain Wrestling?? I know he beat Chris Candido for the NWA Title in 1995 but I am sure it was at an NWA show. So I am not sure if Severn came to SMW and work for Cornette at all.

WWE's had that door open for 30 years. Whether it be SWS, AAA, ECW, Impact, USWA or any countless small time company they've pulled from/fed to...The problem is WWE doesnt overly promote the other company nor ask for praises & pats themselves on the back when they bring someone in. Why would they promote another wrestling company? This is sports entertainment dammit! There's no reason why they would - like the Queen said, "if you're number one, you don't talk about number two, six or ten". Number two does a hell of a lot of yapping about number one though - which is par for the course...

I think he had a brief stint down there

That is also par for the course... Also, the assertion WWE has never brought up another company ain't even accurate lmao

So with Mickie James retaining the iMPACT Knockouts Championship last night, that means she WILL enter the Royal Rumble as champion. A huge deal in the sense of the forbidden door being opened. With that being said, if you could 'dream book' some scenarios for WWE would they look like? For me personally, I'd love to see AJ Styles vs. Trey Miguel for the X Division title. watch this turn out like Taz showing up with the ECW Champion on WWF

I wouldn't really say it's the Forbidden Door when Impact is as small and irrelevant as it is now. If it had happened in 2005, or 2006, then we'd be talking.

Two against Bobby Blaze and one against Chris Candido

they shot themselves in the foot by releasing so many talent. Now the talent pool is thin and they’re calling back Mickie to be in the Rumble. That’s what happens when you do a mass exodus of talent. Now look at Smackdown. They have absolutely nobody to work with Roman at the rumble so they had to get Seth who’s on Raw to do it. I’m sure the original plan might have been Drew, but they didn’t even have a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th person down the card that would have been a replacement. Combination of bad booking and needlessly getting rid of talent.

Didn’t they send Christian there to do a match a few years back? Yes they did

Everything seems like nothing but royal rumble stuff but would be cool to see it be more then just rumble stuff.
