2: Dan Severn in the Ministry of Darkness

Could you imagine the MMA legend in the Ministry?

Dan Severn’s time in WWE is a strange one. A legit shoot fighting champion, Severn never really found a footing in pro wrestling. It didn’t help that Severn had no real interest in the more theatrical and choreographed elements of pro wrestling.

With Severn’s WWE career floundering, WWE management came up with a radical idea to save him, one that Severn himself has stated that he wanted nothing to do with, and this ended up hastening his departure from WWE.

Officials made a pitch to Severn for him to move to Undertaker’s Ministry of Darkness and tattoo 666 at the back of his head. Severn found this offensive and wanted nothing to do with the idea.
