Kevin Sullivan NWA Florida hw champion 10/6/82- 1/15/83) gives Jake The Snake Robert's the NWA Southern hw title in November 1982.this aired on television 📺 Saturday nov 27,1982 or 12/4/82 title is vacanted tournament held in Sarasota, Florida on 12/18/82 winner : Barry Windham
I was 11 in 1981 and had just moved with my family to Lakeland Florida. I remember Kevin who was a baby face returning to Florida. Every week he went more into his heel turn. It wasn’t sudden it was week to week. Then he assembled his crew of Luna tics ( see what I done there). Wrestling was must see for me . Saturday evenings the tv was on and I would watch the taskmaster wreck havoc. Thank you Kevin! You are an important part of wrestling. Wish you the best!
Behold the benevolence of Kevin Sullivan;, giving one of his well earned championship titles to his disciple and educating the audience about life and reality..No delusional nonsense like Dirty Rhodes would spew upon the ignorant masses.
The humanitarian Kevin Sullivan shows all of us how to make the world a better place. He puts the needs of others before himself. Unlike Rhodes, who steals titles from all time greats like Harley Race and Ric Flair and title shots from more deserving competitors like his friend Ron Bass, Kevin Sullivan is always on the look out to give a helping hand to up and coming grapplers. In 1984 he would introduce the Dream (Mike Davis) to professional wrestling so that we could all forget about that bloated drunken disgustopaud who nearly killed the great sport of professional wrestling. Thank you Kevin Sullivan for your commitment to fair play and sportsmanship. And thank you CWF75 for sharing this golden memory.
He's Catholic, after all. And if you look closely, you can just make out where he displays a St. Andrew's cross on his forehead. Kevin Sullivan, pray for us!
If only people learned under Sullivan. Unlike Dusty who not only demands belts from his friends, he also never give them anything, or Manny Fernandez that STEALS belts like he did to Terry Funk.
Only the late great and very erudite Mr. Gordon Solie could work a passage from "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" into a customarily lunatic Promo from Kevin Sullivan! Solie was steeped in Classical Education outside the Sport and wrote Poetry and Short Stories as well as being very knowledgeable about the human anatomy. There's a darn good reason why he was justifiably known as "The Dean!"😉👨🎓🎤🌊☀️🍊🌴🤼♂️B.W.

Kevin Sullivan, a man who speaks truth to the weak and rudderless
Now, he is a generous angel. RIP Taskmaster!!!!
Very early satanic/heel turn footage here. Not how it started but damn we're getting awfully close.
If only people learned under Sullivan. Unlike Dusty who not only demands belts from his friends, he also never give them anything, or Manny Fernandez that STEALS belts like he did to Terry Funk.
Two of the best on the mic
July 27,2000 RIP Gordon Solie 🙏☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
It’s especially magnanimous when you consider that the Southern title was above the Florida title in terms of prestige.
What a great team jake and Sullivan.
Sullivan's devil gimmick was great.
when did sullivan have 2 belts? i know he beat windham for the florida belt,when did he get the southern belt?
According to Wiki, he also beat Windham in a tournament for the Southern belt on Nov 22nd....after it was taken from Dusty (for reasons unknown)
