During a recent edition of his “The Snake Pit” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts discussed how fans responded to Kevin Sullivan’s early devil-worshiper persona.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On fan reactions of Kevin Sullivan’s early devil gimmick: “They reacted pretty well, because Kevin was into this devil thing. And they acted pretty strongly towards that. In fact, we had a bunch of devil worshipers come to Tampa and sat ringside. Oh yeah, all dressed in black and hoods on and all sorts of s**t. It’s pretty crazy.”
On the gimmick: “Kevin went with it, man, he went all the way with it.”
On working a main event with Dusty Rhodes in CWF: “It was a special moment for me. You know, being in the ring with one of the greatest performers of all time. And [I was] just so excited, so pumped, so nervous. I was f**king nervous as s**t, just worried that I was going f**k up, you know, but that’s natural. And to go out there and perform and then him be happy afterwards, that was a great thing.”
