We have some sad news to report today as WCW legend, Kevin Sullivan, has passed away at the age of 74.

From WWE.com:

A unique and influential figure in sports entertainment history, Sullivan found success both in the ring and behind the scenes with his penchant for far-out ideas that pushed creative boundaries.

As a villain, Sullivan was a major rival for the ring’s most legendary heroes, including Dusty Rhodes, Hulk Hogan, and The Road Warriors. He specialized in leading dangerous factions, which included his wicked Army of Darkness, collegiate bullies The Varsity Club, and the wild Dungeon of Doom, which introduced Big Show to the wrestling world. The onetime “Taskmaster” also became a creative force behind the scenes for WCW.

Editor’s Opinion:

I never had the opportunity to see him work, but I heard his name many times throughout my childhood. I recognize him as a driving force in WCW, I know he was responsible for a lot of the competition that WWE had during the Monday night wars. He is a legendary figure in the business, and know that he will be missed.

We at Wrestling Rumors extend our condolences to the Sullivan family during this difficult time.
