We are blessed to have lots of freaky Sullivan promos and angles on tape ( tossing ink in the eyes of Dusty Rhodes’s sister, corrupting Olympian Bob Roop, bringing out Mike Davis as the real Dusty Rhodes), but most of the big arena matches from that era are either heavily clipped or missing. Sullivan was inspired by Eastern mysticism, Satanism, and Charles Manson, and he was the straw that stirred the drink in the state of Florida for much of the 1980s. Most of the time, it is pretty corny whether it is Malakai Black or Bray Wyatt, they are all just versions of the “ I want Kevin Sullivan, mom!” “ We have Kevin Sullivan at home” meme. There have been dozens of wrestlers over the years who have done a Satanic cult leader gimmick you can’t throw a rock at an indie without hitting some guy wearing a heavy metal T-shirt and 666 written on his forehead.
