May 27, 2025 Kevin Sullivan: Dark Rituals, Real Heat & the Madness of Florida Wrestling — Back to the Territories
Before he was the Taskmaster, he was the devil himself — and Florida was his altar.
In this haunting and brutally honest sit-down, Kevin Sullivan takes us back to the blood-soaked chaos of Florida Championship Wrestling, where kayfabe wasn’t just protected — it was deadly. Known for his occult gimmick, mind games, and violent realism, Sullivan reveals how he blurred the lines between storylines and Satanism, and how Florida became a battleground of egos, sweat, and actual fear. 🐍🕯️🩸
He opens up about booking decisions that nearly sparked riots, his real-life heat with wrestlers who couldn’t separate character from reality, and how the sunshine state hosted some of the darkest chapters in wrestling history. From working with Eddie Graham to controlling the chaos with pure psychological warfare, Sullivan’s stories are as wild as they are true.
This isn’t just wrestling history — it’s cult storytelling, southern violence, and territory madness told by the man who made fans believe he worshipped the devil.
Florida wasn’t a work. It was a warzone.
