I know Mick Foley and used to go to the shows with him and hang out in the back with the boys. I met Dan and Ken. Dan was a super nice guy as was Ken. Both were down to earth and actually interacted with people when they met them. My ex asked Ken a horrible question. She asked if he was glad to be in fake fighting compared to the real thing. I cringed, but he was nice and said the same thing Dan said. He said he has been injured from wrestling much worse that when fighting. Keep in mind our friend is Mick Foley!!! I had to tell her to never say fake again!
Hannibal, your interview skills are the best. You ask the right questions at the right time. What’s best is you’re always prepared snd most important, you know when to talk and when to listen! You let them tell the story and guid them with the best questions. Thank you so much! You do the best shoot interviews on TH-cam, period.
I hope you’re doing well and you’re family as well. God bless. I’d love to see you in the WWE or AEW. They need a lot more big men like you.
A real killer don't intimidate others with attitude, the soft spoken ones are the most badass, hail the legend!
Well said. I fully agree.
liu travis that's right. most tough talking guys are pussies.
"real _____ always/never ___"
only idiots say these things
I met Dan at a wrestling show he put on at a country western night club along with Butch Reed and King Mable. After the show he signed autographs and took pictures with fans. Could not have been a nicer guy.
He was selling photos of himself to autograph.
I couldn't afford to buy a photo but he still gave me an autograph for free.
Thanks Dan!
That show's he's a good guy.
I would love to train with dan seven.
He would have so much knowledge
I heard he has a training facility that helps out a lot young athlete's and people.
If you had fan written all over you, that's why he made an exception which is something a celebrity should do.
Class act, that dude. Legend.
Always called him a bad ass version of Ned Flanders lol
That's the best and most accurate compliment about Dan Severn I have ever heard.
A very well built beast version of Ned Flanders. Minus the glasses, it's totally there.
Have you seen Ned with his shirt off?
What an absolute stud. The German suplexes he hit Macias with are still a joy to watch, thank's for the upload.
if you compare how sharp dan is compared to an awful lot of retired boxers, considering the beatings he's given and received and then remind yourself how old he is.
still a man's man
Compared to a guy like Mark Coleman, Dan Severn looks like he is in his prime!
Look at his record look at damage accumalted when he was stopped and look at him give interviews such as this is quite amazing that he can go through hell with an attitude of 'do wat ya gotta but touch my mo and u die'
I met Dan Severn at the Arnold Classic back in 2001. He had a table set up, but not a lot of people coming to see him. Of course, this was pre-TUF and the UFC had not yet exploded onto the public mainstream. We sat and chatted for about half an hour, before a few other people who recognised him stopped at his table. Honestly, one of the nicest, most down-to-earth people you could ever meet. And like in this interview, he was very articulate and well-spoken. A legend in the ring / cage, and a class act outside of it.
This guy is so clearheaded it's crazy, especially for a fighter. It seems like he can recall anything and any fact from his life from the last 40+ years, his work from industries like amateur wrestling, pro wrestling, and cagefighting, some of the most brutal industries out there.
Because he never gets hit, he gets on top using wrestling, plants his feet and beats em to shit with his elbow and forearms. It's a beautiful thing.
Dan never got hit much and definitely never got rocked much, he was too smart and strong. As the other commenter said he would just ground and pound you until you were just hamburger. Even elite strikers got beat down by the beast.
Semi eidetic memory
This man is 58 years old in this interview.
And he's 65 years old by 2022
Always was a fan of Severn, since I first saw him after renting the UFC fights on VHS from Blockbuster. He was a beast in WWE but they hardly used him... He is clearly an intelligent guy also. Great upload Hannibal
I'm still holding out for hope to hear that theme at the royal rumble in the future!
Great interview! I spoke with Dan for about 30 minutes backstage at a king of the cage event. A true gentleman and one hell of a nice guy. Would not want to be on his bad side though 😳
very interesting, Severn has aged well.
wizcoolc1 never abused any substances and lived a proper lifestyle
Looks great no steroids …
I was always amazed at how cool and relaxed he was when entering a fight. It was as if he was walking into, his living room to watch tv. Most fighters look hyper and tense. Not Severn.
the real beast incarnat Dan Severn
Great interview...Dan Severn is the baddest man to ever step in the Octagon and a class act all the way. Long live The Beast!
+Mike LeVeque the TRUE Beast....in his prime he'd rip through anybody
100% TRUTH
Submission Wrestling Guy not even close to the best. great competitor not well rounded, seems like a good guy, and overachiever in mma. the beast fits Dan well
juan regular Dan v tank. Dan would've made a joke out of abbot
well said...
Dan The Beast is looking and doing great! 58 years old. If you look at some fighters now, like Mark Coleman and Tank Abbott. Those guys are in really rough shape now.
Rasslers as well.
Saw Dan in the Walmart in Coldwater MI ..He was buying liquid coffee creamer... Large massive hulk of a guy... Wished I would have said hello but he was on the phone.... That was in 2002....
Love listening to Dan Severn
Coldwater's favorite son. He even wrestled a reclining chair in a commercial for a local furniture company. Great guy.
That is a scary, scary human right there. That man could just grab you and break you. Particularly scary is his intellect combined with that physicality, size and strength. Severen is a warrior poet in the truest sense. To be an absolute killer and to be able to be introspective about it like he is makes for a very dangerous person if he wants to be. A legend.
This man does NOT age!!! I remember watching him on TV when he wrestled for Team USA at the World Cup of Freestyle Wrestling in Toledo and representing the USA at the 1st Goodwill Games in Moscow.
Has anyone notice the softest speakers are also the toughest fighters.
Tank, Tito, Severn & Shamrock. Damn bro nearly all the UFC legends. From 1 through 20.
Gotta get Frank Shamrock, Don Frye, Paul Varleans,Mark Coleman, Oleg Tarkanov & Bas Rutten next. Lol
Dan seems like the nicest guy, but I wouldn't ever want to get in the ring with him.
@Natty Bumppo Lol, you're right.
Hearing The Beast speak makes him even more intimidating than I perceived him to be.
ShreddingSplinters yes, he isn’t just a big brute, he is a super intelligent brute that knows you are afraid and uses that against you.
Great interview with an old school, honest to goodness, hard working, god fearing, metaphor mixing, moustacheod mans man. Hes alpha Ned Sanders.
Great interview, The Beast is a UFC LEGEND! Thank you for the entertainment sir. Seems like a great guy. God bless him.
Seems like one of the nicest guys to ever step into the wrestling business
Lee Hallewell probably lost out on lots of money being boring in mma and wwe. tough as hell cannot not respect severn
I like listening to down to earth interviews. I love his take on Lesnar.... "Count your lucky stars." LOL
Thank you for uploading this. Dan is one of my all time favorite athletes.
Thank you, Devon! Regards, Markus (Germany)
WrestlingFeverBRD There will be 3 more of these full shoots coming in the next month.
This is way better than I thought it would be
This man is a MAN.
the man is articulate, fit and what's more probably had over fights+ the problem is that most fighters fight twice a year? they're not used to damage. same with boxing! real fighters r in shape and could fight tomorrow! the industry has got weak!and its why people are getting hurt!
Really enjoying this full-length interviews. Great stuff
I was never really a fan of his but after hearing this interview I wish I could take that back.
Kind, simple, humble, honnest. Exactly what I teach to my son. Dan, you are more than an hero, a real example for us. Many thanks Sir. Adonis Zahir Dakotah and father.
Such a humble and gentle guy. A true American hero.
I can listen to this guy for hrs. Dan the man 💪💪
What a pleasure to listen to this interview.
Dan Severn fucking rules.
This dude doesn't age. Plus Severn doesn't really brag about his accomplishments.
trenchdigger59xzy yep, one of the greatest amateur wrestlers ever and he went over it in less than 5 minutes. Legend
Great inerview thanks. But am i the only one thinking if Freddy Mercury Had a brother it would be Dan Severn the resemblance is uncanny
How cool and smart and humble is dan severn.!!!!! Wow. One of the best shoot interviews I have ever seen....:);)
Cool, well spoken guy.
Great interview with The One and Only Dan The Beast Severn. This interview is very educational and insightful. Thanks Hannibal!!
Another great vid , thx
When he was SOFTLY describing waiting for fresh meat to come down, THAT was a legit scary ass promo!!
the guy makin the most noise in the room is usually the first one knocked out
Dan really seems like a nice guy. Love that a guy as badass as him isn't a dick. Unlike some fighters *cough* Lesnar *cough*
True pioneer of MMA! The Beast paved the way for all the UFC fighters.
The bare knuckle fighting of the old UFC days was much better. No hybrid fighters, just different styles, and seeing who would win.
Awesome interview with a true legend!
great interview Hannibal
NICE DAN THE BEAST SEVERN FULL SHOOT INTERVIEW !!!
Awesome interview. Comes across as such a great guy.
Great interview
Thank you
love Dan.
Man he’s so right about the pro wrestlers.
They preform every freaking night of the week . No human being would be able to keep up with that pace and last very long if you were fighting for prize money etc
He’s seems like the nicest and most genuine guy.
Love that he mentions The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke. Great, great film.
One of my all time favorite shoots.
When Mr Severn talks about UFC 1 . It brought back my memories of thinking that if I had known that it would have taken off like it has .. I’d like to think that I’d be in one of these interviews..
I also remember that back then . You had to fight at least 3 times that night. And it didn’t matter how much you were out weighed, what your discipline was .. it was just like getting into a street fight nearly fighting for your life lol but that rear naked choke .. I hated that.. but if you can get on your opponent , you’ve got them.
Wow A true Legend
What an incredible man.
Dan Severn is the man.
Great vid
For anyone that is not familiar with old UFC, you really have to understand how impressive Dan Severn’s first UFC was, put it this way. He went in with less than no cage knowledge, trained in a pro wrestling ring, and went in a tournament full of strikers...then killed all of them, then dominated a two time champ, and only lost because he knew nothing about submissions. This is an absolute monster right here.
What a real man who sticks up for pro wrestling even though he’s a legit early ufc badass
@53.00 HYSTERICAL
In spite of all shits about styles, this guy is a Legend!
Thanks, master.
Wow... thanks for the years upon years of awesomeness Dan and I hope you're able to write your book one day, that would be one hell of a read. Keep teaching, we're listening. Cheers...
What a man
"To sippy say" hahaha love it
I'm from Mattawan Michigan and everyone now's the name Dan Severn.... He's a ,true Michigan Bad Ass🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I couldn't help picturing crazy Joe Davola from Seinfeld during this interview !!!
Dan Severn is a class act one of the nicest and most toughest guys to ever fight in the UFC
What a legend
This mans the definition of a professional
What a man.
GREAT INTERVIEW!! Among my favourite shoot interviews. His comments about a WWE Road Agent trying to get him to use a Bonehead Gimmick sums up what Jim Cornette said about the idiots WWE had writing tv from the attitude era (cough cough Vince Russo & Kevin Hart). Dan Severn could back up the claims he made and if he turned it into a shoot the only guy with a chance would have been Shamrock or Steve Blackman, Not even Bret Hart would be able to get him out and he was legitimately one of the toughest and best pure wrestlers in WWE.
Stupid idea by WWE to try to change him.
I challenge everybody out there to find one Dan Severn interview over 3 mins long, where he doesn't say the phrase "Things of that nature". That's definitely his favorite saying.
Dan still looks Great!
I love Dan and everything he has done and that he stands for, but daaaang, put some glasses on him and you've got Ned Flanders. And yes, I know I'll get a German Su-Diddly-Uplex for this...
Mr. Severn: The feat of winning championships is eclipsed by the amazing human being that you are. Thank you for the example that you lead by.
Dan Severn is the toughest man in the world yet soft spoken.
LEGENDARY CHAMPION
What an impressive specimen as an athlete and as a human.
This sport has been unkind to many of it's most iconic stars (Mark Coleman specifically is looking pretty worn these days). Meanwhile, Dan Severn looks like he's in his 40s and still rocking the best tash in the game.
Good man
What a classy guy. Too bad more MMA fighters don't act and conduct themselves the way Severn does (and did during his career). Too many obnoxious, posturing 'tough guys' in the sport today.
An amazing athlete and life, fearsome opposition in the cage...scary.
BEAST!
this guy is awesome and funny. Very interesting
I would love to see a Beast vs Beast match in WWE.
The man among men!
Lou Thez was a legit limb reaper
My friend fought on Dan Severn challenge in like 2005 hahah.
Love the “Beast.” 👍🏻
He's such a jolly fellow. Like Ned Flanders if Ned Flanders was a Mortal Kombat character.
