Podcast appearances and mentions of Dan Severn

Dan Severn is a pioneering figure in combat sports, known for his dominance in both mixed martial arts and professional wrestling. Since his high school days in Coldwater, Michigan, Severn built his athletic foundation as an accomplished amateur wrestler, earning All-American honors at Arizona State University. He rose to prominence in the early days of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, where his grappling-heavy style and physical strength earned him the nickname, "The Beast." Severn became a two-time UFC tournament champion and later captured the UFC Superfight Championship, helping lay the foundations for the sport during its formative years with his disciplined, wrestling-based approach. Beyond MMA, Severn achieved notable success in professional wrestling, becoming a rare athlete to bridge the gap between "the octagon" and "the squared circle". He held the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship for over four years, one of the longest reigns in the title's history, and also competed in WWE during the late 1990s. Known for maintaining his amateur wrestling persona, Severn brought a unique authenticity to pro wrestling, rarely straying from his real-life fighting style. With a career spanning decades and a legacy rooted in toughness, versatility, and credibility, Severn remains one of the most respected figures in combat sports history. From his home base in Arizona, Dan continues to help athletes of all ages and stays busy assisting others to reach their goals.  To reach him regarding training or other ventures, he can be emailed at dan@dansevern.com.

The Brawl for All bodycount reaches a crescendo!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a look at the go-home show leading into SummerSlam 1998.  Dan Severn finally gets exposed, Southern Justice finally gets some in-ring time, and we finally get some resolution in the Cahoots! storyline (or do we?).  Taka Michinoku approaches full “jobber” status while Bart Gunn confirms “badass” status, and take a drink every time there's potential for CTE!

Len Kabasinski shares his journey from childhood dreams of monsters and martial arts to becoming a prolific force in the world of independent B-movie filmmaking. He recounts the origins of his first feature Swamp Zombies, revealing how a passion for horror and action films, coupled with sheer determination and minimal resources, propelled him into the director's chair. With stories of on-set challenges, like actors no-showing and rewrites done on the fly, Len highlights the resourcefulness required to survive and thrive in the micro-budget world. His deep respect for martial arts and love for genre films shine through as he explains how even his earliest projects were fueled by vision, grit, and a DIY spirit. As the conversation unfolds, Len Kabasinski reflects on the evolution of his filmmaking, from improving technical aspects like sound and lighting to writing scripts that align with available resources. He discusses working with cult personalities like Dan Severn and Jasmine St. Claire, and how casting is not just about fame but about attitude and collaboration. Looking forward, he shares excitement about upcoming projects like Hellcats Revenge and Challenge of the Five Gauntlets, emphasizing his desire to showcase his martial arts roots in full force. Throughout, Len remains grounded, humble, and fiercely committed to telling the stories he believes in—proving that true creativity doesn't wait for permission.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

The Beast is back! For the second time on this podcast, we had the privilege of talking to Mr. Dan Severn. We touched upon topics of martial arts and pro wrestling with Dan offering his thoughts on the recent UFC 300, mainly Max Holloway vs Justin Gaethje showdown and who are his pro wrestling dream matches. Dan also spoke about politics and the current situation in the US, his podcast with Don Frye, American vs Dagestan wrestling styles, and others. Enjoy!

We finish up the night with William Regal taking on the American Dragon Bryan Danielson.

Today on The Neil Haley Show, Neil "The Media Giant" Haley and Greg Hanna of Celebrity Interviews Live interview Dan Severn. Daniel DeWayne Severn, nicknamed "the Beast", is an American professional wrestler, retired mixed martial artist and amateur wrestler.

The very same night that WCW was having Bret Hart vs Hulk Hogan, we got an all timer Stone Cold Steve Austin segment on WWF Monday Night RAW IS WAR! WWF Breakdown just happened and the main event saw Stone Cold vs Kane vs The Undertaker for the WWF Championship. The Undertaker and Kane were barred from pinning each other. If anyone had interfered on Austin's behalf, Austin would have immediately been stripped of the title. Kane and The Undertaker both pinned Stone Cold Steve Austin so the WWF title was held up. On this episode of RAW Vince McMahon would hold an in-ring ceremony to award the WWF Championship to either Kane or Taker. However, Stone Cold Steve Austin ruined the entire thing as he drove a Zamboni down to the ring, jumped over the police barricade and attacked Mr. McMahon. Austin ended up going to jail after this, but the night was not over. Mr. McMahon came back to the ring to award either Kane or Taker the WWF Championship. Because they did not protect him from Stone Cold, Vince said they had to fight at WWF Judgment Day 1998 with Stone Cold as special referee. This enraged Kane and Taker who proceeded to break the ankle of the owner of the World Wrestling Federation. D Generation-X is having issues in the group that leads to a fight where Billy Gunn leaves the arena. Owen Hart delivers an Owen Piledriver to Dan Severn in the same style he did it to Stone Cold. This caused Dan Severn to “hurt” his neck. In the main event it is Kane and The Undertaker in a handicapped match vs Ken Shamrock, Mankind, and The Rock. Plus, The DEADLOCK Q&A is back again!
