Dan the Beast Severn's injured Neck

           WATGOWEYO DII AGAIN
                                          

       Caution    reads Owen Hart's outfit, and I think it suits him well.  For the second time in a year or a little more, Owen Hart has seriously hurt a superstars neck on a pile driver.  The first time Owen got lucky, Stone Cold wasn't severely hurt.  Could you imagine where the WWF would be if that ended Stone Cold's career?  Anyway remember the "I Just Broke Your Neck T-Shirts", well those might be coming back soon considering what happened last Monday on Monday Night RAW.
    Owen "the black hart"  Hart requested a match with Dan the Beast Severn after what happened at Summer Slam in the Lion's Den Match with Ken Shamrock.  The Beast was coaching Owen for the match and when Owen was caught in Shamrock's Ankle Lock Submission, Dan the Beast Severn walked away, instead of throwing in the towel.
    Before the match begin The Beast mocked what he did at Summer Slam, by acting like he was going to throw a towel but just shook his head.  When the match got started, Severn had control doing lot of tumbling around on the mat with unusual types of slams, like Severn always does.  But as the match progresses, Severn went for a submission choke hold.  He got it on but Owen did a flip over Severn's head and took control.  Seconds later Owen picked the big 300-pounder up in a "Tombstone" position.  Instead of dropping to his knees like the Undertaker and Kane, he dropped to his butt.  As you can see in the picture above, Severn's head is clearly below Owen's legs.  When Severn's head hit the canvas, his neck cantilevered to one side, while his formidable girth compresses against the disks of his spinal column.  Severn's legs and arms went numb.  When the ref was checking him out, Severn told him he couldn't move his arms.  Owen had a terror look on his face and couldn't believe what he had done.  The television program cut to commercial, and when they came back on air, Severn was being loaded into an ambulance.  
    There isn't any information on Severn's status at this time, but when I get it, I'll be sure to announce it, but I don't think you'll be seeing Dan the Beast Severn in the ring for quite a while.
    As for Owen Hart, he is in shock.  Sources close to Owen say he is "undergoing a personal moratorium".  Also the word is, that we might not see Owen Hart for awhile either, he has made plans to return to Calgary where he plans to contemplate his future.
