Now that all the parties involved are now deceased…. WHAT REALLY happened with Chris, Nancy and Kevin????
It's never good when Jim starts a story with "and when I get there"
Rest in Power, King
"We'll help ya kid.."

The concesión stand battle in wrestling who were the partisipants
The curse of the Doors
Thank you Mr Bookerman/dungeon of Doom
Truth is this….. Kevin Sullivan may have very well booked his own divorce but he never harmed anyone Benoit was a POS freak steroid freak with little man syndrome that went off the deep end just like his mentor Dynamite kid
My favorite was the faction with the Steiners and Mike Rotunda.
Haha I'm from Parkersburg, thanks for the shout out!
I Respect the Bookerman ❤ RIP
Where's the button to give you a few bucks???
I went to smackdown the day Kevin passed. The did a tribute on the screen but sadly most of the crowd didnt seem to know who Kevin was.
He's in a worse place now
I grew up in Daytona and met him numerous times. I did construction work on Oceans condos where he lived. Always such a nice guy. Loved to sit and talk about wrestling any time we came over to work on his unit.
Great Work!!! As usual Jim's respect and knowledge of Kevin's career is much appreciated. I recently rewatched the "Back To The Territories" interview with Kevin Sullivan and enjoyed it like I never had seen it before.
This is when this podcast is at its best. I could actually temporarily tolerate Brian Last while listening to this!
RIP Kevin Sullivan
I remember Kevin from the old Southeastern days. Ron Fuller was retiring from the ring and brought Kevin in to create a faction to replace the Stud's Stable. I was always a fan of the heals and I'd get into trouble with the church that brought us to the matches every Tuesday night in Mobile Alabama because I'd cheer for all the heals. Man I miss those days lol. It was a great time to be young
Still love the spike angle with Kanemura's arm in SMW.
Not even Kevin Sullivan attacked Chris Benoit following his heinous actions. Let it be. Benoit aside…we're ALL flawed and there were a whole lot of guys "loaded to the tits on steroids". Still are. Nature of the beast.
Wonderful tribute to The Taskmaster nonetheless. He's already sorely missed.
LOVE the Sullivan's Slaughterhouse clip! One of the most insane TV interviews ever. Also Buzz Sawyer's final faction.
Over 40 years in the business, and all I can think about is someone was begging for 20 grand about a month before his death. A mixture of "I feel bad for him" mixed with "dude did you not save ANYTHING?" mixed with, I don't know, maybe his family are gold diggin' while they can. I wonder what the final take was on that go fund me garbage…
I never met Kevin, but he always seemed like a good guy, God bless brother.
All of Cornettes friends are passing :/
Kevin Sullivan was a wrestling genius.
Was always nice to listen to an episode of Taskmaster Talks & his many great shoot interviews, airports , hospitals , travelling , the mans voice has been in my ear for years. Sadly missed , this hit jarringly hard. To quote Schiavone , heaven just got a devil. R.I.P.
Watched him all the time here in Florida. We loved him. RIP Kevin 🙏🏽
Corny pretending to be empathetic and the co host guy like yeah part of life whatever lolll
I don't think that anyone that MATTERS thought Kevin had anything to do with the murders. Unfortunately, some idiot started that "rumor" and blah. But like I said, no one that knew about the situation thought it, just the mouth breathers that believe anything they see.
The whole thing with the Dungeon of Doom and the battles with Hulkamania and the Circus was trash. But he did so many good things before that. And he was ultimately THE booker during the Monday Night Wars in WCW which was the best time for me in wrestling. My favorite stuff of his was as leader of the Varsity Club. The whole angle was fantastic.
R.I.P Kevin Sullivan
"Non-denominational…." 😂 RIP Kevin Sullivan
Thank you, Jim. I know this kind of show is not easy to do but as soon as I heard the news, I came to your channel to hear what you had to say. Great stories and closure. RIP Kevin.
Most will never understand how important Kevin was to the wrestling business.
That was a nice conversation. I really enjoyed listening to this one.
Lmao, sand will come out of the Sheik forehead.
Kevin Sullivan was a well known piece of shit. I don't know why everyone is acting like he walked on water.
Ooooh now I see where Hannibal Dumbass got the idea for the spike. He just forgot the whole cooperation and not actually stabbing part.
I am glad that promo with Kevin Sullivan, Buzz Sawyer, and Cactus Jack was mentioned. I watched that with a couple friends, and all of us were loving it! We thought that was one of the greatest things ever!
The DOD was horrible.
RIP Kevin, a guy that did it his way 👍
This was a really nice tribute. It must be hard, and clearly Kevin meant a lot to both Jim and Brian. Much of my growing up with wrestling passed by much of Kevin in his prime. But learning how much influence he had on so many of the people I did watch and enjoy gave me so much appreciation for what Kevin meant to wrestling.
Corny does so many things in character and for our entertainment but he shifts to real when it comes to the meaningful stuff. RIP Kevin Sullivan
I feel for jim it seems like he has to do one of these every couple months over the last 4 years.

All over the last year and a half and jim didnt just know them
Jim was ( close ) to all of them!!!!
1st match I ever saw 1976 or 77 Kevin Sullivan v Pete Sanchez WWWF . Main event Haystacks Calhoun Ivan Koloff and Jose Gonzales later Invader 1 v Johnny Rodz fell in love w wrestling right there
John Henry is a great owner and did awesome tribute for Kevin! He owned my Marlins and wish to God he still did! Our owner is a POS and hope he croaks soon
Thanks so much for this Jim! It is awesome to have your history all documented and archived on Youtube. You are a national treasure!
When an old timer leaves, I always know Jimmy will give an appropriate tribute

RIP for the bookerman Kevin Sullivan. Prayers for his family.
