On a recent edition of his “Tuesday with The Taskmaster” podcast, former WCW booker Kevin Sullivan shared his thoughts on Swerve Strickland’s AEW World Title victory at Dynasty 2024.

Sullivan spoke highly of Strickland and the value he brings to the wrestling industry.

Additionally, Sullivan revealed a conversation he had with Strickland after observing him at an indie promotion, Pacific Northwest.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On Swerve Strickland: “I told [Strickland] he’d be a big star. The way he carries himself, and the way his hand movements are — it’s almost like he can get stuff over with his hands and his body language, where you really think he’s an arrogant son of a gun. But on the other hand, if he wants to be a babyface — I’ve seen him do both. When he’s selling, he looks like he’s getting killed.”

On AEW not pulling off the title change as well as they could have: “They missed the mark, maybe, but if anybody can make up [for] that, it’s this kid. He’s terrific and a great guy.”

On last night’s episode of Dynamite, Strickland beat Kyle Fletcher in a title eliminator bout.
