WrestleReunion 4 in Los Angeles to feature Chavo Classic and Dan Severn

Posted: Dec 29th 2009 By: mikeiles

NWALegends.com is happy to announce that NWA wrestling legends Chavo Guerrero, Sr. and Dan "The Beast" Severn will be our booth guests at the upcoming WrestleReunion 4 fan convention in Los Angeles, California!

"Chavo Classic" -- as he became known as during his 2004 run with WWE -- is the older brother of Mando, Hector and Eddie Guerrero, and father of current WWE star Chavo Guerrero Jr. Chavo's dad, Gory, started him in wrestling in California in the early-1970's, and it wasn't long before Chavo was headlining cards at the famous Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles against the likes of Roddy Piper, Ernie Ladd and Pat Patterson, holding the coveted NWA Americas championship 16 times during the 1970s and early-1980s.

Guerrero will be signing autographs and taking photos with fans from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. each day Saturday and Sunday, January 30-31.

Dan Severn has captured the attention of fight and wrestling fans all over the world since his 1994 debut in the Ultimate Fighting Championships. Dan is known as ?The Beast?, a name given to him by Jim Brown during one of his many fights in the UFC. The native of Coldwater, Michigan has accepted all challengers in any no holds barred, or professional wrestling events. On May 17, 1996, Dan was crowned the UFC Superfight Champion in his home state of Michigan. He defeated ?The World?s Most Dangerous Man?, Ken Shamrock to regain the title. Dan is the only triple crown UFC champion in the sport today. Severn has won two eight man tournaments and The Ultimate Ultimate 1996, which pitted champions and runner-ups against each another to determine the true champion of the sport.

Severn began his career in the fight game as a Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestler. Dan quickly became a top high school and collegiate wrestler capturing many titles, honors, and several national and world titles. As a high school wrestler Severn was a two-time national champion and set eight national records in his career. Dan was inducted into Arizona State University?s wrestling hall of fame at the end of his prestigious collegiate career.

After completing his degree program and graduation, Dan continued on a quest to be the best amateur wrestler in the world. Numerous competitions from 1982 to 1994 took him to Japan, Hungary, Cuba, France, and Turkey. On each trip, Severn captured another title. Dan also secured 13 National AAU wrestling championships during those years. The Beast also tried his hand at coaching wrestling at ASU and Michigan State University as he continued to compete and excel after his collegiate career.

The Beast?s world class wrestling skill, commitment, and desire provided the foundation for his success. Severn knew he needed to continue to improve his arsenal, so he added black belts in the sports of Sombo, Judo, and Jui Jitsu to his athletic package.

In 1994, this distinguished athlete stepped into ?The Octagon? for the first time. Severn easily established his place among the best fighters in the world with his awesome competitive fire to be the best.

He entered the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) in 1995, and defeated Chris Candido for the NWA World championship. Severn would go on to win the UFC championship that year, making him the first and only man to hold an MMA and a professional wrestling championship simultaneously. Severn would go on to hold the NWA title for four years, the longest reign in over two decades.

As NWA champion, Severn appeared in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) during a storyline where the NWA invaded the WWF.

Dan "The Beast" Severn will be signing autographs and taking photos with fans on Saturday, January 30 only, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. As an added bonus, we'll have three of Severn's UFC championship belts and his NWA championship belt, and you can use any or all as props in your photo op with "The Beast!"
