Back To The Territories #04 | Kevin Sullivan | Florida

[@NLaBar]

Sean is a guy who knows the right thing to do at times like this & has no problem making it happen. Seems like a class act from everything I’ve ever seen. Plus, taking a video or two from beyond the paywall + making them free for a while will do nothing to hurt financially and exposes more of his product to potential new paid subscribers.

[@warshipsatin8764]

seeing the free episodes and how good they were is what got me to buy a subscription to see the rest

[@carlanderton3rd]

RIP Kevin thank you for everything! These are incredible interviews

[@stephengennarelli1808]

Thank you Sean for being so generous to your Fans. You are the Man!!!

[@nichhodge8503]

I like seeing both Jim Cornette and Kevin Sullivan and it’s great seeing them together! It’s a shame that Kevin had to put up a Go Fund Me page to pay for $20,000 medical bills, I know that some people knock the NHS (National Health Service) in England but I got nothing but praise for the NHS as they’ve taken care of all my medical needs for the last 17yrs and I live in an area where the NHS receives the least funding in Plymouth (London obviously receives the most) were I live (Devon & Cornwall receive the least money. Plymouth is the biggest city in Devon)

[@liquidsnake8338]

Rest in peace to the Task master. Thank you guys for always unloading stuff like this as a tribute to our favorite wrestlers

[@haydenspivey430]

Thank you Sean! Rip to one the greatest wrestlers and Greatest minds in wrestling. Rip Bookerman

[@roobear78]

This was one of kevins best shoots,you can hear in his voice and the way he speaks he was really into this one because it was so close to his heart

[@Rob78169]

RIP Kevin🙏 Thank you Sean!!

[@imaxeman69]

R.I.P. Mr. Sullivan. You were one of the best

[@JohnMascola-xr5ds]

Thank You Kevin Sullivan ! Rest In Power !

[@JamesUchrin]

So good to see Kevin. RIP.

[@davidtroop173]

Thank you so much Sean! Kevin will be so missed 😢

[@dtown1006]

What a great storyteller. When I was a kid, no one scared me as much as this guy while being undersized. He was truly a master of psychology. RIP 🙏

[@drido]

Happily purchased this a few years ago. Thank you for posting, this is my favorite series you've done and is always a pleasure to watch. Also, the hour draw between Dory Funk Jr. and Inoki mentioned @1:14:37 is an amazing match, recommended.

[@brunnob3]

Much love to Kevin's family. Rest in peace.

[@garbarek1078]

You can believe that this was every bit a joy for Kevin and Jim to do as it was for us to watch. God bless Kevin, and thoughts are with your family and friends.

[@allewis4008]

You can see Corny turn into an excited kid again when he discusses Silver Age Wrestling 😃

[@garbarek1078]

@@allewis4008 Arguably the Bill Moyers of wrestling.

[@liveitdown]

This might be my favorite Territory episode. The inner workings of the wrestling business in the 70s and 80s is fascinating.

[@CJTBasketball]

The Task Master was so knowledgeable about the business! Thank you.

[@haroldwise9398]

Kevin really likes jim. You can hear the respect in his voice

[@scopewrestling]

The West Palm Beach Auditorium was 2 blocks away from my house. I loved Monday nights.

[@edwardwiktorowicz6784]

see you on the other side brother 🙏🍀

[@mikeschenk4730]

Thank you so much for this upload! Love both of these guys and Sean for doing it. RIP Kevin

[@tupacchamberlian8556]

This is the best back to the territories.

[@michaelklingenberg7872]

I love the time stamps and chapter list! You are a shining example to all the others!👍👍

[@Therealflushingceez]

Gonna miss Kevin with his stories, etc....👹...RIP TASKMASTER

[@harshckuk]

RIP Kevin. You made WCW watchable

[@daveschannel747]

Kevin was from my area in Massachusetts.. had the opportunity to meet him on a few occasions.. solid dude who has to be recognized for his booking abilities! Levin knew how to draw 💰 May he rest easy 🙏 😔 😟

[@chuckmendez8446]

These discussions are great when it’s just two old friends having a conversation. Man, these last days must have been hard for Jim. Too many of his friends have passed these last four years.

[@bb-gc2tx]

different breed of men back then in 30 years if they did this type of interview with todays generation of wrestlers all the stories would be about how many stars they got in their matches and the video games they played with the other wrestlers after the matches

[@theamigo635]

Kevin Sullivan had the greatest mind in the history of the business. RIP TASKMASTER.

[@GuitarAnthony]

The best of the BTTT bunch. Surprised when Kevin said no one ever touched Gordon Solie cause I'm pretty sure Sir Oliver Humperdink did once but Kevin may have been out of the territory by then. RIP Kevin.

[@maceomaceo11]

Gordon had been touched by then, by Muraco on GCW. They had to do something to turn heel announcer Piper face because he'd been in the news for saving somebody from a mugging and getting stabbed (for reals).

[@lodi70005]

@@maceomaceo11Actually, I don’t think Muraco actually got his hands on Solie. He was going to, until Piper face turned and saved Solie.

[@lesgordon8010]

Great history of Florida

[@tomhallick419]

The Hy Gardner reference at 1:59:40. The show was Hy Gardner Calling and a clip of the Elvis interview was in the documentary This Is Elvis. Hy asked Elvis this question..."What about the rumor you once shot your mother?" Elvis just smiled wistfully and said..."Well that one takes the cake."

[@jimhardy665]

God, I miss him already. Glad to hear about the FL days, with others focusing so much on the 90s (this fascination over WCW/WWF from 93-01) and the bland booking he was forced to do for Hogan, plus the political bs with Bischoff, Nash and others. Even Meltzer said only a couple things about the 80s, going into HoganLand.

[@jlivewell]

RIP Kevin Sullivan.

[@philaman1972]

Priceless video. RIP, Mr. Kevin Sullivan.

[@bigdaddyl-rob7445]

RIP Kevin!

[@KingGhidorah5464]

Now Kevin gets to be with Eddie and Mike, his adopted family.

[@nichhodge8503]

Terry Funk’s “my horse is sick” when someone wanted him to come in and lose is the equivalent to a kid saying in school “my dog ate my homework”

[@AWrestlingHistorian]

Thank you.

[@MATTYMrMarijuana]

Smoke up to the man KS

[@chrisortiz8072]

I honestly didn't know Kevin Passed away until I saw this post. I really thought maybe he would have 1 last run in the back if Tony ever realized he needed to hire a real booker lol. R.I.P Kevin

[@joemhoward]

If there is a heaven it is the ultimate wrestling territory now

[@MrSuperdelf]

"Eddie Graham had a lotta newspaper men on the payroll" - RIP Kevin Corleone Sullivan

[@delbertprince5302]

Rest In Peace Kevin Sullivan

[@bb-gc2tx]

most of the wrestlers they mention in this video are dead and now we lost the taskmaster time sucks

[@lodi70005]

Plus, social media makes sure we don’t miss a single death, and there’s been a ton of those lately.

[@nichhodge8503]

34:27 And here’s me thinking the Rougeaus were the all American boys not Jack Brisco & Bob Backlund 🎶 All American boys, all American boys 🎶

[@rodzor]

56:00 Fix the chapter name 😆 *Solie* not Soley lol.

[@lesgordon8010]

It would be great if someone else covered the other Florida TV shows US class wrestling and Southern pro wrestling and also the announcer change from Gordon Soley to Steve Kern

[@SebastianMW-r3f]

someone pls make an edit of this where every time they cut back to cornette his forehead is bigger

[@N0MADproduction]

Whoever started watching, you are in for a laugh on 2:05:37 😂😂

[@KHLB516]

RIP

[@williamflowers9435]

What is the 9/11 Eddie Theory they referenced?

[@lodi70005]

I was wondering the same.

[@michaelrood2751]

Wish I grew up in Florida instead of the Northeast where all I got was boring WWWF

[@jonbourgoin182]

Holy shit we actually have an available video quality above 240p. 1080p even!

[@KCVault]

Kind of. It's 720p stretched to 1080p.

[@damien5138]

He wasn't on the Orange Bowl show

[@justinlast2lastharder749]

Its a bit weird seeing Cornette be Buddy Buddy with Sullivan considering how bad Cornette has talked about him.

[@delinobilbreaux7700]

Louie Tillet died June 26, 2024, one month short of his 90th birthday...old for a former professional wrestler

[@carriecrouch-dg8cx]

Rip kevin Sullivan

[@AnthonyEckhardt]

Rip Kevin, you scare me as a kid

[@jeremybragg6576]

I think Backlund kinda looks like McMahons sorry

[@Dylan-j4t5g]

I wonder why kevin dying came out of the blue like it did just before the vince got done for being a nonce, i think the powers that be knew that kevin wouldve expose them and killed him.

[@edwells4769]

Did he do it?

[@Therealflushingceez]

Gonna miss Kevin with his stories, etc....👹...RIP TASKMASTER
