Severn & Ken Shamrock in 2026

Both top notch themes!

I’ve always wondered how Steve Blackman would have fared had he competed in NHB/MMA. He has been anointed as legitimately skilled by both Ken Shamrock & Kurt Angle. He also had an MMA school for a number of years in Harrisburg, PA. Dennis Bermudez got his start there training under Steve.

Always kind of thought Blackman could have done something if he wanted to.

Yeah I’d imagine with the stability he had with the WWF and the money he was making during the attitude era it probably wouldn’t have been worth his while to have attempted it then. I would love to have seen him compete on some level though. He did a great shoot interview with RF Video back in 2007 and an interview with Chris VanVliet about a year ago. He currently runs a bail bonds business up in Harrisburg, PA and has ran that for years.

The real loser in that fight was the fans. Dans fight with Kimo was almost as bad.

I don’t think Blackman had a grappling or wrestling background though - he was very athletic and had good striking which could have gotten him a few wins over the Harold Howard’s of the sport

Folks always bring up Haku as being the toughest wrestler and that he could have done well in the ufc.. I disagree

Generally agree.

He might have gotten a couple wins in the early UFCs.

But if you replace him with Matua vs Tank, I have a feeling it would have been a similar result.

MENG would have gotten bodied by everybody. Maybe he beats Joe Son.
