I must say, that a Kevin Sulivan interview needs to have a certain pace to it, to allow the storytelling to unwind, and i think Hannibal gets it just right. BTW I would really like another Scott Steiner interview, that focuses a bit more on the weight lifting side of things.

This is one of my favorite shoots Hannibal has made. I could listen to Kevin Sullivan talk about wrestling all day.

The way Sulivan described the India/Pakistan conflict as "heat" made me laugh so much.

I could listen to Kevin Sullivan all day and I’ve said so many times and will again that Devon “ Hannibal” Nicholson is one of the best interviewers because he is a fan, does his homework and asks great questions and never interrupts his guests! Awesome channel!

Sullivan is a Legend. As a long time fan of the Business,without people like Sullivan,Flair,Dusty?There would be no Wrestleing boom in the 80's,no attitude Era,no mon night wars NOTHING

I'm so glad Kevin Sullivan tells more stories on his podcast, Taskmaster Talks!

Kevin is right. Best KZfaq channel for wrestling shoots. Kevin is also a great subject. Thanks Hannibal for the fan service.

Sullivan was so good at being a heel that people really thought he killed Woman and her family. Very thoughtful and intelligent man. Great shoot interview.

Great video. I think Kevin is one of the most underrated people in the wrestling business as a wrestler and Booker . I’m so sick of internet marks saying certain wrestlers are bad workers because they don’t have 2000 moves. Kevin understood ring Psychology and Drew money everywhere he worked.

Hannibal asks all the right questions,and refrains from giving 'his take'. This is history!

Man I been on Hannibal TV damn near everyday of this COVID-19 quarantine era

Kevin Sullivan is a genius the devil gimmick was awesome I live in Florida so every Saturday we had to watch and what he's going to do next awesome stuff Kevin is one my All time favorites along with Dusty Rhodes when Mark lewin came in as the purple Haze WOW man wicked man good memories as a kid growing up

Another amazing interview. I love the fact that you get these legends of the squared circle to sit down with you, let them talk, and have such knowledgeable, well thought out questions.

He needs to be in the HOF! Ahead of his time great psychology

I also laugh at all the Benoit marks that think he woulda kicked Kevin’s ass. Kevin was a power lifter

Hannibal your shoot interviews are the BEST going today. Well researched. Respectful (with pandering). And you allow the subjects to talk. Thankyou SO much for all the great content. God bless

Kevin Sullivan is one of the best at everything in wrestling. I cant get enough interviews with him. Can anyone tell me if he has a book. If not he needs one.

Sullivan was the best at booking heat. Always ahead of his time.

love hearing from the legend

+ Hannibal, you have the best interviews. I love your videos!

What a wealth of knowledge this guy is. Great stuff. Him in Florida early-mid 80's was awesome. His satanic persona was actually believable back then the way he did it.

Dude you scared the crap out of me when I was a kid watching you in Florida wrestling- your wars with Dusty, and Blackjack Mulligan were brilliant

"i guess she got off easy only getting cheated on huh?" daaaanm that was brutal. good stuff hannibal i love me some kevin sullivan

Absolutely, a big fan of Mr. Sullivan. The more interviews I watch with him being the subject, the more I appreciate and agree with his point of view. The way he is able to really use no bias logic to describe how human nature levels the field for us all in life. Hats off to Mr. Sullivan!!,Wise words with class that's good to see .Thank you again ,HANNIBAL!! Outstanding!

No way that was over 3 hours!! Flew past. Fantastic interview. Thanks for posting this.

I’ve always enjoyed listening to Sullivan’s storytelling. Even stuff that I wouldn’t think I would find interesting is great. I was a weekly listener of his most recent podcast that ended last year. Really interesting guy. One of the few guys from the old days who is open to change and accepts the new stuff.

Kevin Sullivan is one the greatest of alll time. Hannibal as always does a perfect interview. Best I have seen in a while. Im a big fan. Keep up the good 👍job.

Kevin Sullivan! What a fucking legend! Never messed about with WWF and i love that about him. Hearing talking about the old days is amazing! Watching Impact recently seeing Kev turn up for the Rosemary Allie story line was fucking amazing! I hope he pops up again. I heard he said they need more big men at Impact and recommended to you (Hannibal) that you should try and get in there. I agree. It would be awesome to see you there. Kevin Sullivan true legend! Thanks Hannibal for these awesome videos, you're fantastic at making there man!!

A wrestling mind like no other. As a kid watching him on tv his presence was intimidating and he only stood 5ft 9in and weighed around 240-250 lbs. A man truly meant to b in the wrestling business.

thank you for this interview. I really enjoyed hearing kevins stories. I grew up in lakeland watching NWA in his day.

Kevin Sullivan is the neighbor I wish i had. A great guy to go and just talk about the business and philosophy ect. Seems like a really nice guy..

Kevin getting it spot on about if a competitor with money came along that the fans would flock to that show (AEW).

I'm only halfway through and this is probably my favorite shoot on the channel.

Theres a difference between wrestling knowledge n wisdom and KS has both....great shoot man

Not only great interviews. Hannibal treats these legends with reverence and respect. The way it should be.

Hannabal is the best interviewer and great talent! Too bad Devon wasn't born 25 years earlier so he would have been in the business as he deserves, which is on cable TV WCW, WWE

So much I had no idea about and that's what I love about these the most beyond really being the place for top interviews. Thanks. I would love to see some people too many to name hope more comes.

This is the first interview I've heard with the taskmaster. Pure gold. Obviously a great wrestling mind and a student of the art.

I remember when The Prince Of Darkness Kevin Sullivan was wrestling in Florida.Him and Dusty Rhodes had a long feud

Great interview Hannibal.

I would love to meet Kevin Sullivan and listen to all the old stories.

love Kevin Sullivan great stuff thanks.

Hannibal, brother, you are a phenomenal interviewer. Thanks for making these available for free. (These ARE supposed to be free, right?)

Love your interviews Hannibal. Just wish u could’ve asked Kevin 4 some stories about Andre.

Fantastic. Hannibal is super intelligent & has the shoot interview down to a science.

What a shoot, learned so much background from this shoot. Kevin Sullivan, you are one of the best.

I remember being in the Channel 5 studio in Memphis on a few Saturday mornings as a kid, and it was during that time Kevin was talking about. The Moon Dogs were waylaying everybody. They would walk out there chewing on those great big bones, and they would tag up against Jerry and Bill Dundee. They would win one Saturday, then the others would win the next. Good days then.

Definitely gonna get this one, always like listening to Sullivan, he's up there with HTM as one of my favorite shooters

Kev’s the guy who’ll have EVERYONE’s ear at the table while having dinner with friends

The Gaaavvinnns! ...love the accent ...wicked!

Kevin Sullivan gives a great interview! I like his podcast on MLW premium, but really miss the old free podcast, the MSL & Sullivan Show, that he did for MLW!!! Kevin really knows his wrestling history, and was a big player in wrestling during my favorite eras, the eighties NWA & WCW, and nineties WCW! The NWA/WCW along with Mid-South/UWF, were better than anything that WWF/E, NJPW, Impact, ROH or any other promotion offered or offers, past or present!

You can learn a lot from Sullivan. He is a genius as a booker.

Sullivan is one of the all time greats

You could have asked Sullivan to brush the coke off his polo shirt Hannibal lol

Kevin is very entertaining, can tell stories very well

Hannibal, Ive been a wrestling fan since 1986. 32 years (spite I quit watching full time 2 years ago)...Watching these shoot interviews of yours...Do you know what separates you/your interviews from the rest...(Spite Cornette, Jericho and others have podcasts)....Your a wrestler talking to wrestlers, not a fan talking to legends. I enjoy your calm respectful demeanor. Look forward to more and more interviews. I can hook you up with WWF HOF Tito Santana if interested for an interview and booking for GNW. Actually I believe you emailed me a while back booking him for Bad News Brown memorial show.

I never feel older than when I see my old Idols balding and wrinkled . I am 53 so my childhood heros are in their early 70s or late 60s . Kevin was a favorite of mine because we were both short thick guys . When I saw him wrestle I could imagine actually becoming a worker too .

One of the funniest gimmicks I’ve ever seen in wrestling was the 1 Sullivan used in the dying days of CWF when every week he would get more & more mentally unstable. Solie: “I don’t know what Kevin Sullivan is doing!” Sullivan as he’s grabbing his head & falling backwards in front of Gordon’s desk. “Somebody help...ME!!” I think part of it is on KZfaq as Kevin Sullivan loses it.

Kevin is such a Class Act.

That was great.

Kevin is a very savvy wrestler & a true ring psychologist. Very interesting interview.

This interview and superstar Billy Graham are my favorites 👍👍👍watched them more than 1 time

Crazy at the end of the interview he basically perfectly describes how AEW was developed and what it has become!

Rhea Ripley could be a huge star in WWE, Charlotte and Becky are great they put on great shows, Rousey was a great heel and baby face...sadly I don’t notice any guys who could be the next Austin, or The Rock. Cena was eh, Reigns can’t talk but he’s got a great look

This was a highly interesting interview from one of the best bookers in the business Kevin Sullivan. This is the guy who the wwe needs today to get them out of this hot/cold thing thats been going on for about the last 5years(ever since I started watching wrestling again after I stopped for 10 years or more) and I believe that if Triple H or Vince would reach out Kevin would help them out. Fans make fun of the dungeon of Doom and I'll admit myself it was silly but we did get the Giant out of it plus Kamala was always a good heal plus Meng was insane. I liked is varsity club angle with Rotunda and Rick Steiner and I also liked when he teamed up with Foley what a team they made.

Great interview! Where did you get skull background?

I liked watching Kevin late in WCW. I remember the Tree of Woe. He was short but solid.

The real genius in wrestling

Is there a way I can find that 1982 video where Kevin Sullivan Turns on Barry Windham for the florida title and then turns on Mike Graham?

You need to make a video of Meng stories.

It’s under: Kevin Sullivan looses it!!! Each week it got funnier and funnier.

Glorious

just Love the wallpaper...where can I get some?

Great interview. As a fellow Bostonian, I have a lot of respect for Kevin Sullivan. The only thing that he is wrong about is that doctors and geneticists have been trying to find different genes for behaviors etc,but there is ABSOLUTELY no suicide, depression,gay or any behavior disorder genes. The only screwed up genes there really are is if you're a child of incest, but even though incest, genes are not always messed up. A lot of times they are totally fine. Awesome videos!!!

I would agree Hogan took a lot from "Superstar" Billy Graham but also Austin Idol he took the flexing his muscles and calling his arms pythons and Idol also used the term Idolmania which Hulk copied calling it Hulkamania and ran with it. Believe those two early on shared some car rides to towns and stuff probably around the time Hulk was using the name Sterling Golden down south.

Sullivan was in Memphis in 1979 & 1980 in Jimmy Hart's First Family.

What is your favorite Kevin's rival? I remember him against Bob Roop in several runs.

This interview changed my opinion of Mr. Sullivan. I was suspect of his involvement in Benoit's death but now I am fairly sure he had nothing to do with it. Thank you for this Hannibal.

Devon thanks for all the great interviews. It is a shame you have never had another shot at WWE after the Abby bullshit.

I agree about Superstar! Hell once SBG turned face, a dream team of SBG and Dusty to battle the bad guys would have been AWESOME! SBG and Andre battling the bad guys would have been EPIC! Later down the line, the transition from WWWF to WWF could have been SBG to Hogan. With the Iron Sheik or another heel as a tranisitional champion! between the two! Or if they wanted a Superstar to turn heel, they could have done it that way. Or they could have even done a precursor to Hogan vs. Warrior. And do a face vs. face match. Bottom line is SO MANY possibilities with SBG as a long term face champ! Backlund NEVER fit the WWWF World Title template anyway. He was more of an NWA or AWA World Champ type back in that era. BUT among those guys, Backlund wouldn't standout as much as a worker. He would have been one of several great technicians or ring generals. In the WWWF, he stood out A LOT MORE. Because most of the top guys were big guys or brawlers. Guys like Bruno, SBG, and Dusty were MADE FOR IT!! And young Vince ALSO likes larger than life big guys or brawlers as his poster child and 2nd biggest star. Hogan, Andre, Warrior, Austin, Rock, Cena, Batista, Lesnar, and Roman are his kind of guys. Sure there are exceptions. But typically, Vince likes his top two stars to be that type of guy.

Damn Hannibal, you just can't resist stabbing at Kevin Owens. I expect a match between you two down the line, you gotta back this up :-D

would love to see a booking interview with sully on what if they did not do the nwo. instead, building hall and nash up to be us and world champ in a years time from 96-97.

This was an awesome interview, I was wondering if Hannibal was going to bring up the C.B incident, and truly I don’t believe the conspiracy theory. I also think Kevin is right about the fact that wrestling is not the same as it was.

I honestly can't wait for this current roster of WWE and AEW years from now do shoot interviews on way things were today (2022)

pretty thoughtful guy

My favorite wrestler of all time. God bless you. Never had so much fun watching someone for all these years. I have a couple autographed photos of you, courtesy of your girlfriend...St Pete . I would love to have a few beers with you. Thank you U Tube.

Would kill to see his Devil Gimmick in Florida. ..he was also great in the Varsity Club

Kevin Sullivan & Dick Murdoch one of the most vicious tag teams ever. thier matches only lasted about a minute, but it was alot of mayhem in that minute 😂

@3h:01, perfect wisdom by Kevin, burning the library of Alexandria "I think they want to burn down the history of wrestling, this is the WWE universe." If these major networks can pay loads of $$$ for actors on dumb sit-coms, Fox could start a TV only promotion, "CWF" - Championship Wrestling on Fox. Sports oriented, strong & heat style, with the great advisors like Kevin, JJ, Corny. Cross-over talent with MMA at times.

--------------------------45:00. 55:28 good story. 1:38:00 feud with Dusty Rhoads. 1:41:00 WWE/ Cody Rhoads

I hope that you will overcome the scary Corona 19 and that your channel will develop more and more every day, and it will be a huge success. Thank you for making and showing your wonderful and valuable video.

Same Kevin Sullivan from Lexington,MA?? East Lexington w/the Donohues etc.

Bob Backlund & Steve Keirn / The Original Trading Places plot point ( Eddie Murphy - Dan Ackroyd ) The fortunes of many with a small money bet driving the followthrough.

Kevin Sullivan basically predicted what AEW seems to be doing talking about what a new promotion needs to do to be successful

I love Kevin Sullivan

lemme guess - there's gonna be a comment about Kevin Owens' shorts & t-shirts (...yep. I was right)

So weird watching a Sullivan out of character interview. You're so used to seeing this demented guy who is either leading the Varsity Club to the ring or is trying to take out Hogan.

Why wouldn’t wwe do this type of thing, because the truth hurts?anyways as a fan since I was little, this is the kind of stuff that has always interested me, and my friends, thank you for doing this before these legends are gone

wise man- good intvw choice-u smart

I once gave your Jacket back to you at the civic coliseum .
