THE HANNIBAL TV Jesus. I didn’t know such and early example of breaking kayfabe existed. As a fan I enjoyed seeing it but I know guys like you gotta pretty annoyed that they told the secrets long before Vinnie MAC coined “sports entertainment.”
I was an air traffic controller in Ft. Lauderdale, FL back around 1985, when a twin prop plane came in with several pro wrestlers. Using my binoculars, I could identify Kevin Sullivan, Billy Jack Haines and a couple others getting out. Their physiques were very recognizable, even from 1/4 mile away. It looked like several female "groupies" were there to greet them, lol.
Man thank you so much. For you are the only person to bring up this video to try and get answers. It would be nice to not only get other wrestlers opinions on the video. But for Kevin to talk about his early part of his career. Like his involvement in matches with don and Ron wright. But thank you so much again.
Thats why im sure Barnett called their bluff. That video released in 79 would've ruined their careers. Whats interesting is would Randy Orton Dean Malenko ever been allowed in the business?
How did Plan B hurt Orton? He had a good run in Mid South, a decent run in Mid-Atlantic, and a good long run in WWF(E) with Piper, Orndorff, and Adrian Adonis.
Roop is mostly knows for his runs in Mid South and Florida In Mid South He played the conving heel to turn Orndorff face and held the major belt for about a year till they took it off him to beginng the Ted Dibiase betrayal of JYD In Florida he was part of Sullivan demonic faction before used to mentor a young Lex Luger

I would have liked to hear Kevin speak to Roop's attempt to do the same thing in San Francisco earlier.
Bob Orton, Ron Garvin, etc., are lucky that they ever worked in the business again. In fact, some of them thrived.

Garvin really was lucky. Just nine years after they did that Garvin got the NWA belt.
Kevin Sullivan seems like such a nice guy. His gimmick could not have been more opposite from the real man behind the gimmick.
Huge Ron Garvin fan. Surprised he was part of it. But guess, it was done as blackmail. Never released till modern time.
Is there footage somewhere if this video where they expose the business, please?
I have seen it on youtube.

@@TheHannibalTV Thank you

I wonder if this was exposed back then, how it would of changed wrestling? Would we of gotten Wrestlemania?
The bulk of wrestling fans knew wrestling was illegitimate . I don’t think it would have slowed National expansion any .
Fascinating stuff.
Blackjack knocked out Bob Roop with one punch
Sucker punched him
Is Miss Atlanta Liveley the first wrestling Diva?
The first transgender maybe
@@TheHannibalTV I wondered if Ronnie was into that?
The first drag queen pretty much
Figured the gay exposure, was on Jim Barnett. He was openly gay and one time, owned the territory.
Ron Wright was the fifth man of plan B
Flair also said that Dick Slater had roughed up Roop when Slater first broke in.
Sullivan was great as leader of the devil cult gimmick.
Who the hell is this Bob Roop guy I keep hearing about? It's not that old guy with goofy glasses right?
If you have to ask, you don't deserve to know.
He was a decorated amateur wrestler who turned pro in the 70s. I think he won a few national championships and competed in the Olympics.
Roop is mostly knows for his runs in Mid South and Florida
In Mid South He played the conving heel to turn Orndorff face and held the major belt for about a year till they took it off him to beginng the Ted Dibiase betrayal of JYD
In Florida he was part of Sullivan demonic faction before used to mentor a young Lex Luger
