No one, and I mean no one, knew more about what worked and what didn’t in professional wrestling than @realkevsullivan. He wrote some of the most successful television program ever during the Monday night wars. I will miss him…we will all miss him, but I’m sure he’s up there… pic.twitter.com/kKDzMa9e8u

Always loved when his thick Boston accent and my rough NY accent would collide.
Learned from him.
RIP to the Devil himself, Kevin Sullivan. pic.twitter.com/LB6xIx5Cft

Just heard that Kevin “Sully” Sullivan has passed away. His passing really hurts my heart.
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

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

For those who truly knew #KevinSullivan know the weight of this loss. I met Kevin 7 yrs ago + had the privilege to call him a friend, during my time w @PCWULTRA . We spent HOURS together on the phone. His stories + words of wisdom left an immeasurable impact. Thank you Legend. pic.twitter.com/KBcpv5d46c
