They gave Dr. Death Severn's theme in WWF Attitude. That may be it. That honestly could be why. Good call. Here's a nice set of photos to help you tell the difference Dr. Death: {Spoiler} Dan Severn: {Spoiler}

He'd probably just get knocked out by Butterbean instead of Bart Gunn.

Not a chance in hell they'd waste 98 Stone Cold on shitty Dr Death. No one gave a shit about him prior to this, and no one would have given a shit about him if he won. Same way no one gave a f*** about Bart Gunn once he won. This was the Monday Night Wars. You don't just hand out feuds to people who aren't massively over cause they have a friend in management and did something (that no one in the then current day audience knows about) in another fed years prior. This guy was never getting a main event push in 98. Ever. Anyone who believes it would have been carried out is deluding themselves. Totally true Dude couldn't get over ANYWHERE in the states in the 90s. Not in WCW with Gordy and a massive Uncle Watts push, not in ECW with little nostalgia fan Paul's little push, not in 1999/2000 WCW

I'm not perfect on the timing, but was he in too late to build up by kicking the shit out of Vader?

Chuck Wepner was one of the judges for the Butterbean fight. His story is that he smarted off to Rock and Austin before the match about how bad Butterbean was going to smash Gunn. After the match he went up to Vince and his goons and grabbed his dick and said "I got your boxer right here" or something like that. He then snuck over to where the Rock was dressing and stole two shoes.

Not sure if someone already posted this but allegedly, according to Bart Gunn's rf shoot, they were already taping vignettes about Dr Death winning the tournament.
I think he would've worked a program with Austin, although I'm not sure if Austin would've vetoed it since he just had the neck injury during that time. And I'm not sure if he would've trusted Doc with his body.

I poo-poo the Brawl For All as it elevated no one whatsoever. I think that Steve Williams would have best been utilized in WWE as a tag team with Terry Gordy. They saw success everywhere across the planet from Japan to '92 WCW. I think if WWE had Williams and Gordy feud with Doug Furnas with Phil LaFon over the world tag team titles, that may have been the hottest series of matches ever. In earlier years, Williams and Gordy would have been great foils for the MegaPowers too. agreed. Gordy was even on the roster at the time, making a few appearances as the executioner.

Gordy was done in WWF by early 97. He and Gordy would not have fit in the WWF due to their lack of promo skills. Gordy was decent on the mic but was brain fried by this point.

who is JR's biggest boner over? Dr Death Or Danny Hodges and his ability to crush apples with his hands.
