| 2 | 09.12.2023 | YourKingMob | 7.0 | A wrestler and MMA fighter who entered pro wrestling during the height of shootstyle in Japan. In many ways, I would compare him to Sakuraba and Kiyoshi Tamura, but he was a better pro wrestler than Sakuraba and a better fighter than Tamura. Many people rate him on his WWE career, but where his real genius in the ring got a chance to shine was in the NWA. There's many technical wrestlers who are said to be able to wrestle a broom and make it look good, Dan was one of these wrestlers in his own way. Watch his NWA matches to see him carry traditional midcard bingo-hall bread-and-butter wrestlers to competent shootstyle matches. Not a great talker, not a great draw, but a legit skilled wrestler who could have great matches in any style. |

| 7 | 29.07.2023 | Leth99 | 8.0 | What a great wrestler, amazing look, great in-ring talent and many matches I've seen from him have all been quite impressive. His only setback was charisma and mic work, but he is one of the few guys that don't need to talk to be a great perfoemer. Sadly, there's a ceiling as to what you can get by a guy that doesn't talk, but for Dan, that ceiling was very high |

| 14 | 12.01.2023 | face painted legend | 9.0 | One of the most decorated pure wrestlers of his time. Dan was a 2x all American in amateur wrestling, multi time AAU champion, UFC superfight champion/tournament winner, NWA world champion, and i'm sure there's others i'm forgetting. He was the real deal. A legit shooter who could hurt you any time he wanted to or have his way with you any time he wanted to. He was as believable as they came in his era. He had that iconic look as well -- the gray shirt, the tom selleck esque mustache, the slicked black hair, etc.. I don't think he was used properly on the pro scene, outside of his time as NWA champion, but man I still have all of the love in the world for Dan. I'm a UFC guy too, that's how i first saw him. |

| 22 | 10.05.2021 | AnB | 7.0 | Scary lookin guy and a real talented wrestler and fighter. He just didn't really fit into the direction the WWF was headed when he was introduced in '98, but could easily have had a long respected career if not for that. |

| 26 | 08.07.2020 | sabbathbloodysabbath | 7.0 | Being decent in the ring and having excellent presence should have been enough to solidify him as an established upper-midcard wrestler, but he never really went anywhere in pro-wrestling unfortunately. That is weird because the WWE certainly wasn't stacked with talent in 1998, especially in the midcard. He should have at least had a run as IC Champion or had him team up with Shamrock or Blackman for the tag titles. By 99 the WWF inserted a lot more talent and him being lost n the shuffle would have made more sense then, but he should have definitely received a bigger push in 98. Also, his entrance theme is one of the best in the WWE, period. |
| 27 | 03.12.2019 | Shoot Headbutt Lover | 10.0 | A badass that deserved much better in the WWF, Dan "The Beast" Severn was a technical innovator in the ring as nobody in the WWE was doing what he was doing, sure ya had guys like Shamrock and Steve Williams throwing guys but they didn't do much mat wrestling like Dan. Hell the dude can still bust out a good match nowadays like his match with Matt Riddle. |
| 28 | 27.07.2019 | KyleEnjoysWrestling | 4.0 | One of the biggest busts of his time, as he was a real superhero in the emerging world of MMA. Didn't help that he always looked like he was wearing his warm up gear to the ring. |

| 30 | 11.10.2018 | RatingsMachine | 6.0 | Dan Severn was a poor fit for the WWF. He didn't have the kind of look that Vince McMahon wants out of his performers, he wasn't the most charismatic person, he couldn't really talk, and his style looked out of place. Severn seemed primed for having a good run in New Japan, but, for whatever reason, it never worked out, and Severn would have been a much better fit there. |

| 37 | 17.03.2017 | Irishfbfan518 | 9.0 | Brock Lesnar in 2013-today is what Dan Severn should have been in 1998. Severn still actively fought in MMA while wrestling, something Lesnar doesn't. |

| 39 | 17.02.2017 | Owen | 10.0 | Dan is a legend, and one of the greatest pure wrestlers of all times. He's been an MMA champion, NWA champion and legitimate grappling champion. No matter what accolades he ever receives, he'll always be underrated. He's that good. People talk about how good Brock Lesnar is. Brocks MMA record is 5 wins and 3 losses. Dan Severns MMA record is 101 wins and 19 losses. He truly lives up to his nickname of "The Beast" |

| 43 | 01.07.2016 | Colt | 2.0 | Konnte mich zu keinem Zeitpunkt in der WWE überzeugen. Keinerlei Persönlichkeit, Null Charisma, mieses Micwork und im Ring auch kein großer Performer. Nach den UFC-Erfahrungen mit Ken Shamrock hatte man sich mehr versprochen. Im Gegensatz zu anderen WWE-Flops der 90er wie den Beverly Brothers, Bastion Booger, Giant Gonzales oder Doink besaß Severn nicht mal sowas wie einen Trash-Faktor über den man noch lachen konnte. Möglicherweise hat man ihn einfach nur falsch eingesetzt und hätte mit einem anderen Gimmick (z. B. als maskierter Kampfkünstler ? ) mehr aus ihm rausholen können. Doch letztlich bleibt einem nur das was gezeigt wurde und davon ist mir nicht in Erinnerung geblieben. Das sagt eigentlich alles. Daher kann ich ihm nur 2 Punkte geben. |

| 45 | 07.12.2015 | Squared Circle | 8.0 | Insane ring skills. Distinguished amateur wrestler and MMA legend, Severn could mat wrestle, throw and suplex with anyone. Mic skills were limited, but he was not a play actor, he was the real deal. One gets the feelling he was distracted with amateur wreslting and MMA, which held back his professional wrestling success. |

| 48 | 25.09.2015 | mdkarl | 9.0 | Out of place doing soap opera skits in a big american promation... and too soft spoken to really excel on the mic... but an absolute stud in the ring. If severn wrestled in the 40's and 50's we think oh him as one of the 10 greatest wrestlers of all time |

| 50 | 19.03.2014 | Phenomenal91 | 8.0 | Not always the most entertaining performer (his style of wrestling is no-frills, straightforward, and brutally effective), but there's no denying his incredible skill. |
| 51 | 21.07.2013 | Boris The Menace | 6.0 | |
| 52 | 19.07.2012 | Leone | 9.0 | Believable, to say the least. Dan Severn is a legend in mixed martial-arts, so when he worked as a professional wrestler, it was like a Lion performing at a circus. He had a 4 year long reign as the NWA world heavyweight champion (which may not have meant much in the late 90s, but it's in the history books now). |
| 53 | 10.02.2011 | TAWPTierJustin | 10.0 | I loved Dan Severn when I was a kid! He was one of the guys in the Attitude Era that truly lived up to his name. He was a beast, he was an animal in the ring, he was a great submission specialist, this is a guy who I feel should've been more successful in the WWE than he actually was. This guy was great on the mic, he was great in the ring, he was great at telling a story in a match or a promo segment. Bottom line is Dan "The Beast" Severn should've been pushed to the moon in WWE but WWE only used him as a mid-card wrestler and didn't have him win any titles whatsoever and it's such a shame. I mean they put Dan in great feuds with Owen Hart and Ken Shamrock but they could've used him a lot better than that because Dan had all the tools to be successful in the WWE. |
| 54 | 08.09.2010 | Hardcoremaniac | 5.0 | Shootfighter halt, der sein Glück im Wrestling versuchte. Solide, aber das auch nur im Ring. |
| 55 | 29.07.2010 | Cool Papa Bell | 8.0 | Hatte eine gute Präsenz im Wrestlingbuisness, passte gut in die, zu kurze, NWA-Storyline. Unter den Shootfightern, die zum Wrestling wechselten, fand ich ihn, weit vor Shamrock, am überzeugendsten. Und der Schnauzer bekommt auf der Rick-Rude-Skala eine glatte 10! |
| 56 | 21.07.2010 | Wolfhart | | Severn zu bewerten ist schwer. In die WWF hatte er von Anfang an nicht reingepasst, seine NWA-Matches sind schwer zu bekommen, und als MMA-Kämpfer sollte er in einem Wrestling-Forum nicht bewertet werden. Was bleibt, ist, das Severn bei der japanischen Shoot Style Liga UWF-I ausgezeichnete Kämpfe abgeliefert, die man samt und sonders zu den besten Matches dieser Liga zählen darf. Severn ist/war ein Wrestler, der seine Gegner aus den unmöglichsten Lagen noch ausheben und mit krassen Suplessen auf die Bretter schicken konnte. Auch am Mic recht brauchbar, eben passend zu seiner Persönlichkeit. Wenn es um Shoot Style Wrestling geht, das nicht nur echt, sondern auch spektakulär aussehen soll, ist Severn in meinen Augen der Größte. |
