17 Wrestlers You Didn’t Know Worked In WWE-8

8. Kevin Sullivan

Best known nationally as a WCW mainstay (and their head booker) during the nWo boom, Sullivan had decades of wrestling experience. He learned from some of wrestling’s most creative minds, like Mark Lewin and Bob Roop, and carved out a niche for himself booking promotions where he’d work on top playing some variation of a Satanic character leading a stable of crazy characters. A Boston native, he grew up on the WWWF, and that’s where he spent the mid-’70s, working the mid-card as a babyface. With the McMahons’ love of ethnic babyfaces, including their fellow Irish-Americans, it’s likely that the only reason he didn’t get a bigger push was being short (billed at 5’9” and actually a few inches shorter) in a promotion that’s always been the land of the giants.
