- Steve Blackman is asked about Dan Severn shooting on wrestlers in the Royal Rumble and if he could have pulled it off. Stream New Shoot Interviews 📺 TitleMatchNetwo...
Steve talks about what would happen if Dan "The Beast" Severn went off script and started legitimately shooting on other wrestlers in the Royal Rumble. Severn made the claim in an earlier interview that he was serisouly considering it in the 1999 Rumble and going to WCW afterwards.
Blackman says he himself wouldn't have backed down to Dan and neither would Ken Shamrock or even the Undertaker, however it could have been done if Severn entered later on with a different set of wrestlers.

Amazing profile photo of Freddie Mercury back in his MMA days...
His point in he can only shoot on one person. He would get thrown out pretty quick unless he was in the final four but I don't think they are putting Dan a that point in the final four.
So weird, Steve came off as a plank of wood when scripted, but when being himself he is super charismatic.
Maybe one was in front of 15,000 people years ago. One is in front of a few people sitting down.
Dunno looking at his body language looks like he's tweaking
@@chrismiddleton4062Dry lips and shorting constantly yea I'd say so
Wtf? Not even 😆 , hes talking like a regular person 😆
Its a shame the same cant be said for you
I love how real Steve is such a class act
The reason for this was because Vince wanted Dan to be a part of Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness and write ''666'' across his forehead. Dan did not want to do that, and he was told by someone else that they could start making him lose matches for refusing this offer. Then he said what he said about the royal rumble and eventually they parted ways.
Wouldn't have happened, immediate lawsuit due to breach of contract.
Liar
Y'all don't get it. Severn is some serious badass material but as soon as the crew recognizes him going into business for himself, they absolutely would go full war machine on him. They might not hurt him but he's definitely going over the top rope
DS was arguably the greatest Heavyweight American amateur wrestler to never win an Olympic Gold. But yeah, like Ben Askren, he had no striking ability.
It depends on when he did it. If he was at the end and got it where he could get the last four guys and dump two over and made it one on one at the end. I pick Severn against any of them. Even Taker. Dan would kill him.
I concur. Dan might be a beast but 2-3 guys would take him out with ease
@@johnny5805no way dude. Are you kidding me? For one Mark Coleman was definitely better than Severn.
So true! We all don't get it!
If Steve says, "dont do it," then don't do it.
Shooting during the royal rumble would have been insanity. He'd get a few guys, but the cat would be out of the bag, and then his show would be over.
Well put
Some indies have tried doing shoot battle royals and the end result is always that it's impossible to get anyone over the top. Unless you have a significant size and strength advantage, it's too hard to get another athlete over the top rope who isn't willingly going over it.
Man Steve still looking in good shape since the attitude era.
circa 2007*.
Blackman was right, if Severn would've shot on someone, they'd of most likely came over there in a gang/group and threw him over the top... He's only goona ground one guy at a time and then he's getting hucked overboard...
thinking about what Steve was saying hhh submission holds always looked awkward, Especially early on
Hunter did submissions?
@@misterchubbikins everyone has a few they just don't use them as much because of how awful they perform them, Which is why hhh rarely performed them ,His was the most awkward in professional wrestling history
@@crazycountryboy8941 yeah, it's always strange when the throw someone who is not known for submissions in a submission match and then thyey gotta come up with something generic.
@@misterchubbikins thyey? Also TRUE professionals can adopt, Amateur never learn. hhh is one of the most overrated wrestlers ever
Severn would have gotten the Daniel Puder treatment.
Uhh... I doubt that
Don Frye, who is the toughest man still walking this earth, said, characteristically... :Dan Severn in a fight with me, would throw me around, without even breaking a sweat, without even growing his moustache. "and also: Dan Severn would beat anyone in a straight one-on-one fight!"
He wasn't undefeated in UFC with very few rules at the time.
Wrong Ming, Hako Is the toughest dude
@@samright4661 Meng* Haku*
Man - is that a recent video of Steve? He doesn’t look a day over 45.
This channel has been recycling a lot of old interviews lately.
2008
The funny thing is, look at his recent bounty hunter adverts and he hasn't aged!
@@theoneantonhe's been using the same Just for Men for 20 years lol
Dude looks younger than me and I'm 38
"Plans change" is probably how Vince's booking style can be described. All that Dan would need to do was say plans changed to the other wrestlers and nobody in the ring would doubt him. The truth would come out later of course.
No he would of sent a referee down to say he was going in to business for his self or Kurt Taker Ron Simmons Bradshaw to get him out a don't care who you are 3.4.5 Guys would of got Dan out maybe not over the top but kick his ass I think but it would of been great
@@TheSunDanceKid1000 yeah if they sent the entire ministry and a couple of guys like Kane, Test, Mark Henry, Blackman, Shamrock, and Billy Gunn they would’ve gotten him out of there.
@@murraysaucedo897 Shamrock has beaten him in the UFC Super Fight. Any 2 guys his size would have gotten him out. MMA guys are superheroes and WWE guys aren't your neighbors.
Well.. that’s not what Severn was talking about at all. He was boasting (stupidly) about how he could shoot beat them all… tricking them into thinking it’s still a work is the opposite. I could beat 30 wwe guys at once - so can my grandma - if they all think that’s what Vince ordered lol.
Shamrock,Blackman,and Severn were too real for wrestling. Had the privilege of doing a custom Titantron (entrance video) on all three of them.
Details?
@@captfeeny Making custom Titantrons for wrestlers are a hobby on my RUclips channel.
Shamrock was a professional wrestler before he was a fighter
@@Cameron_611 that's cool dude. i gave you a sub, i'll check out your titantron playlist
@@newerest1 Thank you!
If he'd done that, what exit would Severn have taken in order to get out of the building alive?
through the crowd like Mike Awesome did in ECW. lol
There would be no exit.
His moustache is too wide to fit through most doors.
steve blackman vs brock lesner i would of liked to seen
Haku and Lesnar both in their primes. not UFC just in a street fight.
Brock would maul Steve
@@rgordian624 Brock would kill him. Haku is an alleged tough guy, and Brock is a freak athlete, ncaa and ufc heavyweight champion.
@@rgordian624 i think haku would beat brock lesner in a street fight i heard haku was pretty tough
@@byah160Taker was afraid of Haku in real life, he wasn't afraid of Brock. Let that sink in
The Mufugger. The Man. Steve Blackman.
I get what Steve is saying but I think its a little short sighted for this business. Your character, expertise, and value can go up when you wrestle for different companies. When you can rise up in different territories like Japan, Germany, etc.
Ita crazy how much he has not aged at all 😮
I would have love to see him try and fail miserably. Dan wasn’t a striker he was just a ground and pound wrestler. He’d have to hold one guy down beat him on the ground then throw them over the top. Even if he was up against Crash Holy he still put up a little fight waisting Dans energy… then while they are on the ground the other person would clock him.
Why would wcw want him to do that ? People would have ordered the rumble replays just to see
WCW made dumb decisions. They announced that Foley was going to win the championship thinking people wouldn't change the channel since they knew the outcome. That was WWE's highest show of the year because WCW announced it.
Severn is a tough guy, but he's not an idiot lol
Dan would get whooped, if more than 3 guys grabbed him😂
Dan is a friend but Steve may have kicked his legs out
Steve MUFUGGIN Blackman
Yeah there's a lot of guys in there and as soon as they realise Dan isn't playing ball they'd just gang up on him
Lots of folk in here who dont have a clue,
1v1 Dan is a problem for any of them. Ken would stand his ground and make it a fight.
Steve, clearly knows what hes doing but didnt have real fight experience... not MMA at least. Hed have stood his ground and likely get into trouble if Dan got on top.
2 or 3 of the bigger boys in there with Dan, and Dan loses everytime.
Blackman would just have to hold his ground till mabel came out. Dan would had been bye bye. That would had ended really really bad for dan if he decided to shot.
MMA isn’t the end all be all for fight acumen.
@@mykoniichistorychannel nobody says it is.
But 1v1 against your average untrained athlete, the fighter wins more than 9x outta 10.
They'd have needed numbers to stop Dan handing out beatings that night.
@@johnhamilton5431 They would only need 2 guys or 1 Shamrock or 1 Angle. Dan wasn't taking on 2 WWE guys. He knows that would be bad for him.
@@eroccha that's essentially what I said.
Angle wasn't around at the time.
Wrestling, Kickboxing, and Jiu Jitsu technique all depend on their being only one opponent. Once there's more than one, and the other can take free shots at you while you're grappling the first, all that technique goes out the window. Vince would just send down two big guys and Dan would be sent out of the ring, or to the hospital, or wherever else. That's why we developed all the social instincts we have, because when people are healthy, one person can't physically dominate a group.
Severn's "shooting" was doing takedowns. He couldn't fight.
If he did take one guy down to the mat, another guy would just kick him in the head.
Dan was a badass. But there's 30 guys. He wouldve been beaten half to death and thrown limp over the top.
Dan was a pro man. If he was really shooting, you would know. Real fighters can take down pro wrestlers, especially back then. It would look like CM Punk vs those nobodies in UFC. He was like a child against guys that were mid tier to lower tier UFC level.
Punk was broken down at that point tho.
Mickey gall is a legit grappler and fighter. Mike Jackson or whatever sucks and punk could have won that one but still got beat up a bit.
lol. Kurt Angle was there in 1999. Ken Shamrock beat him at UFC Super Fight.
I would put my money on dan over taker in a one on one
Taker would agree with you, I'm sure.
If Blackman had been around early 90s ( era of character Gimmicks ) ....he could've been the 'Bail Bonds Man'
got involved with Bossman and Nails etc
Don't matter how good you are, you're not beating 3-4 grown men that suddenly don't care if they permanently paralyze you with a simple elbow or kick to the back of your neck. Dan would still go to jail afterwards for assault during a scripted performance even if he became a vegetable in the process. I don't think he was enough of a simpleton to attempt something like that, and risk get sued for everything he owns afterwards.
Have you seen Severn at UFC 5? I'm not saying he was invincible but he would have hurt a lot of people in the process. And they wouldn't expose the business by suing.
Hello
Tbh as much as i agree with steve , similar skills is a stretch only one that i can say was ken shanrock, everyone else dan would annihilate in there
not true Steve was a black belt in several martial arts kurt was with wwe at this time just not on TV yet and kurt could have run with Dan shamrock of course and it's well known taker has been involved with martial arts since the 80s ufc just wasn't a thing until after he was already wrestling and vader was there brute power there ppl seem to think ufc back then was like ufc now ot wasn't dan was a wrestler that was his skill set fighters back then were not well rounded it was style vs style back in them days and kurt would have definitely out wrestled Dan at that time
Blackman knows Jujitsu.
In a 1v1 shoot the only one who would've stood a chance in WWF against Dan was Shamrock. They actually fought twice in UFC and were 1-1 against each other. Blackman is a tough dude but he's not a pro fighter and he's not beating a former UFC HW champ high level NCAA wrestler on Dan's level.
Not just Shamrock.....Shamrock full of all the juice
I don’t know man. Steve is an actual legit bad ass martial artist. He might have stood a chance as well.
@@00tree the only way is if he someone KO's Dan before he gets double legged. The difference is Steve was not a legit pro fighter who proved himself like Dan though. Dan fought at the highest level and won multiple championship belts in legit shoot fighting.
as much as logic would indicate you’re right, there is something to be said about how all the wrestlers speak about steve
@@twistwoffle3543 Especially in an industry that is 'all about me." It's not common for big dudes to brag someone else up, yet Steve's name is always one that pops out of other wrestlers' mouth as a guy with you not to fuq.
This shows how much taker had a rep for professionalism. He's the only person blackman named that wasn't a cage fighter.
Was Blackman himself a cage fighter? I know he's a martial artist but I wasn't aware that he actually had any professional experience
I remember Dan Severn taking down Steve Blackman as soon as he entered in the ring.
It looked like a shoot but who knows?
I see your comments on just about every wrestling-related RUclips video and most of them are f-ing stupid.
Congrats.
Fighters like Dan Severm and Don Frye are human vegomatics. Either would've cleared 30 men easy. That would be their Tuesday training session.
Clown
Cocaine brought out the good side of Steve. Definitely on it here.
Dan would kill Steve lol 😆
till everyone realized he was shooting then Dan would had been done. Ken Shamrock and Kane came out back to back. that would had been it for Dan.
Unless the interviewer made a mistake and worded it incorrectly, im curious why Ken Shamrock would call WCW and mention that for 100K he would Shoot through the Royal Rumble when the RR isn't even a WCW PPV.?
The assumption is that WWF would fire him.
Dan Severn said he called WCW, not Ken Shamrock
@@J_Cubed i guess i need too pay closer attention.. Thanks for the correction!
Dan was being squandered with and politicked out of the WWF by the usual suspects, everyone's thinking business first so he probably thought it'd be a great way to get some notoriety as an MMA guy in the wrestling business for heat.
He ended up making the right decision though since, 1: the other wrestlers would've caught on and together murdered him, 2: no-one in WCW would've wanted to work with him since he'd have shown himself to be untrustworthy in the ring, and 3: Bischoff didn't capitalise on Bret Hart and he was the easiest shoot situation to get a win over Vince with - WCW's incompetence would never have worked in Dan's favour.
Because at that time there's every chance Eric Bischoff would pay that kind of money to someone to make the WWE look bad on their own programming. Hell, he already had a sort of history of that when he paid Madusa extra to drop the WWF Women's Championship in the trash on live TV.
Damn Allergies, eh?...
Ok tv Karate😅
The marks on here crack me up. The only person who would have had a chance against Dan was shamrock. The other guys are tough but none of the other guys are trained fighters. Dan and Ken did more fighting in a weeks worth of sparring than any of the other wrestlers would do in a lifetime and before anyone mentions Haku or taker or Blackman if they were so bad ass then why didn’t they enter ufc or actually compete? One ufc victory they would have made much more money than a years worth of wwe wrestling and it’s actually less wear and tear on the body. Btw don’t give me the old “haku would have ripped their eye ball out or bit them and the ufc has rules “. U don’t think Dan or Ken could bite someone or gouge eyes when they have them in a mount they cannot get out from it. I also know people will say all Dan could do was wrestle while So and so can box. It’s so much harder to knock someone out with one punch than it is to shoot a double leg and take someone down. Even the greatest boxers hardly ever knock anyone out with their first punch. If they don’t land that first punch guess where they will be…..on their back getting mauled. You marks crack me up.
"One ufc victory they would have made much more money than a years worth of wwe wrestling" so wrong... in 1999 the ufc was small and the payment was not good at all... even a guy like Liddell had a hard time to earn his money as a top draw and that was many years later...
@@TheTracepyott pretty sure Haku maked a lot more money in WWF pre '95. i mean, even Sandman got 100k+ in WCW just for sitting on his butt in '99. why take the risk when you have a better job to do with secure income
(sure 50k a night sounds good IF you win All fights) not everyone fights just for a six-pack of beer like mark hunt did xD
and yes to be a good athlet or (very) tough guy makes you not a (good) pro fighter, i know that,
beside that Haku was already "too old" and Blackman came back from heavy health issues, ship had sailed anyway
No, you don’t all have the same skills. Dan has taken down and beaten far more qualified strikers than Steve Blackman.
Zero professional fights, zero amateur fights. Record on sherdog and tapology 0-0-0. He’s a typical gym fighter, trains and spars, has some tough training sessions and street fights against nobodies but never steps in to the ring against real competition.
Sure he’s a bad ass compared to 99.9% of people but he needs to show Dan Severn more respect, life long drug free and well past his prime when he got in to MMA. Dan’s a legend
I don’t think he said anything disrespectful towards Dan. Dan would beat any of them one vs one sure but if 3 or 4 guys are in there he doesn’t stand a chance…
Agreed. He didn't say anything bad at all about Dan.
Mark definitely would have ran!
