I recently was talking to Ric Flair who told me that Sully wasn't doing well and I should call him. I immediately called him, and I talked about it on an interview I did with @CodyRhodes.… pic.twitter.com/sdbVZNJHzX
An old photo of Kevin Sullivan and I during a match in Louisville back in the early 80's. Outside the ring, Jimmy Hart who managed Kevin looks on. Yes the haze in the background was from cigarettes. Yes, smoking was still allowed inside buildings then. RIP Kevin. @WSI_YouTube pic.twitter.com/TTYSb8JOca

Many years ago,I said mean & false statements about kevin sullivan.I was stupid to harbor hatred towards him over eddie Gilbert's heat w/ him from the 1989 wcw booking committee. Over the year's,he was always professional to me.i even managed him in 2008. RIP pic.twitter.com/TrUpZ025rO

Rest in Peace to one of the great wrestling minds of all time, Kevin Sullivan. To talk to Kevin was to receive a master class in the business, and I was honored to be a student a few times. Kevin also championed my Sheik book and put me over to Sabu, which I’ll never forget. pic.twitter.com/o8BThYVwFv

He was also the first person I interviewed for my Gorilla Monsoon book, and I’ll be honored to share his memories of being a rookie in the WWWF locker room back when Gino ruled the roost.

Waking up to the news that #KevinSullivan has passed away. Without him taking a chance on me there would have been Hugh Morrus. Thank you #shorty! See you down the road! pic.twitter.com/8oxyPYMR71

One of the greatest minds in the business, and an even greater human being. Wrestling was better because of him. This world was better because of him.
RIP Brudda ???? pic.twitter.com/Pk7NLAXm2Y

A brilliant matchmaker, performer, and sinister conjurer of evil, the sport is forever richer for Sullivan's contributions.
Thank you, Sully. It was a helluva deal. #RIPTaskmaster pic.twitter.com/SxkJYcrMzU
