RIP Kevin Sullivan. I always thought his double stomp was one of the all-time bad finishers in wrestling history, but I nonetheless did appreciate his contributions overall. Always seemed like a pretty cool guy in shoot interviews.
Had no idea he passed :(. He was great. Iirc, he did invent the hanging tree of woe to run his knee into the midsection which is infinitely better than the double footstomp and still used in many variations today. RIP Kevin Sullivan
Somehow he had at least a couple of very memorable matches. vs. Benoit at GAB 96 and w/Foley vs. The Nasties at Slamboree 94.
He seemed in really poor health in the recent WCW documentary. Bummer.
Sullivan's look in the 70's (top picture) may surprise some people.
I've seen recent pictures of him on social media where he was using oxygen and I think they may have been asking for help with his medical bills. One of the better minds to ever grace the business IMO and a great interview when I've seen or heard him speak post-career.
Afa (8/16) and Sika (6/25) both passed away within less than two months of each other. What a rough summer for the family.
Sid Eudy/Visious/Psycho Sid/Justice passed away at 63.
:( RIP Sid. One of my very favorites from my childhood. Always loved his mid-90's WCW theme:
He also had one of my favorite moments in wrestling. Sadly not streaming anywhere but the network. At Slamboree 1993, he was announced as Col. Parker's new charge and came out to squash Van Hammer in 30 seconds.
