Kevin Sullivan's story begins on a crisp autumn day in Boston, Massachusetts, where the air reeks of history and the streets are paved with the dreams of the departed. It was October 26, 1949, when this rugged individual emerged into the world, his eyes wide open to the wonders and woes that lay ahead.
A Life of GrappleSullivan's path was forever altered by the sweet science of wrestling. He laced up his boots, donned his singlet, and entered the fray as a young man with a fire in his belly and a hunger for victory. Taskmaster, Johnny West, Kevin Caldwell – under these various monikers, Sullivan carved out a reputation as a force to be reckoned with, his 250-pound frame and 5-foot-9-inch stature belied by his unyielding tenacity.
The Devil's in the DetailsAs Lucifer or Wizard, Sullivan danced on the precipice of chaos, always ready to unleash hell upon his opponents.
