Well, they had Blackman and Shamrock, and for a while Dr. Death.
Overkill, I guess?

They wanted Severn to join the Ministry, but he was against it on moral grounds.

He was a charisma black hole and wrestled a style that most fans found boring.

He's a good wrestler but not a good Sports Entertainer.

Speaking of Severn, there was actually a weird story floating around (confirmed by him in an interview) where he seriously considered shooting in the Royal Rumble '99 and legit winning it just to f*** WWF over. Can you imagine?

Can you imagine? That would have been so f***ing awesome! Sure, it would have pissed off Vince and pretty much got him blackballed from the WWF; but I would have marked. |

I doubt he could have shoot-won the rumble for the simple fact that
a) they would have sent in someone like Viscera and told him to just lay on the canvas. Severn was strong, but not that strong.
b) all someone has to do is hold onto him when he tries to throw them out.
c) if that doesn't work, then they'd make sure the ring filled up and then run up behind him and gang toss him.
But yeah, the guy was a great wrestler, just a lousy WWE guy.

But, it would have been funny if Severn had been able to eliminate Viscera. |

But yeah, the guy was a great wrestler, just a lousy WWE guy. Well, if he stood upright he definitely could because his weight would carry him. But that is why I had him just dead weight. I forgot about Viscera. Yeah, Viscera could have smurfed that all up for him. But, it would have been funny if Severn had been able to eliminate Viscera. |

Severn couldn't have pulled off the shooting in the Rumble thing. He came out pretty early on and the ring was decently full when he came in.
Someone would have noticed what he was doing and just ganged up on him and kicked his ass.
Plus you had guys like Shamrock and Blackman coming in, then bigger guys like Test, Kurrgan, Mable, etc. There's no way he would have made it through that whole match shooting.
And Severn wasn't a striker. If he couldn't get you down on the mat, what's he gonna do to you? There were probably many guys in that match that could have gone blow for blow with him standing up.

Mustache + Suit + Awesome Theme Music = Fail?? It's sickening. If anyone the WWE ever had could have pulled off a Robert Goulet gimmick, it would have been him. |

It's because he was boring and he wasn't that good in the ring.

I wish he had stayed a little longer. I loved his theme music.
