Sullivan spent a year putting Benoit over, culminating with him booking Benoit to RETIRE HIM, then 18 months later Sullivan put the belt on Benoit. It was Benoit that took that spot knowing fine well he was going to leave anyway. Who is really the asshole in this situation?

I was working backstage that night as the Assistant Event Coordinator (Chip Burnham was the Event Coordinator/Promoter). Everything Kevin Sullivan said was very accurate about that evening. I did not witness a backstage fight between Sullivan and Benoit. I can not comment on Kevin's family because I never met any of them except Nancy. Security was tighter than normal that evening. Kevin was an outstanding boss and I had the utmost respect for him. I knew Chris up to 2001. He was a gentleman and a very quiet person. I believe Chris had severe brain damage from all the bumps, the inability to cope with his friend's death along with trouble in paradise, and the status of their financial situation.

“Hey, I respect you, booker man.”

Those Kevin Sullivan creepy sex dungeon pictures from the mags are some of my earliest memories of wrestling.

I met Kevin Sullivan last year. My friend and I went to a wrestling seminar instructed by him. Little did we know, we were the only ones without training. The ad said nothing about expecting ring trained wrestlers to show up only. Everyone was asked to go in pairs, and work for 5 minutes. Before it started he talked with us a little, and found out that we never entered the ring before. Because of this, we almost didn't get to try anything, but I wanted my money's worth, so I asked if we could work. Kevin asked permission from the owner, and we got in. Now we're wrestling infront of a dozen wrestlers. We did okay until the final spot where I did a back suplex, and my friend sandbagged. Felt a shock in my spine from that. Kevin said we did fairly good for not having ring experience. Nice guy. Bizarre experience. Felt like a fever dream the next day

Kevin said we did fairly good for not having ring experience. Nice guy. " I bet it was the drizzling shits, he was being a nice guy by not pointing that out and I'm sure all the actual workers had a field day telling folks about two untrained goofs coming to the seminar and trying to play wrestler.

Really? I live in England & it is very obvious.

Eddy, Dean and Chris were the three musketeers. Chris Jericho was number four. I have actually heard Kevin Sullivan address the Benoit murders on a shoot previously. As here, he comes across as being both very genuine and very fair.

Good interview

Unlike smackdown i intend to listen to the whole 1 hour and half of this interview

Perfect listening material during the lockdown!

Great interview

Good to.hear both sides of the story. Class act on the interview cornette.

I've been in the same situation with my first wife a friend of mine took her and they married ive never went out of my way to talk to either of them don't want to but I don't hate them and I don't ever want to see harm or anything bad happen to them you just move on it's life and that's what sane people like Kevin do we just move on

Anybody else notice the carole baskins esque rivalry between Corny and Russo? God forbid it ever gets that dramatic but I can't help but notice the parallels.

Every once in awhile I kinda think the Corny/Russo thing is all a work and we're all marks. And then I think Russo is just too stupid for that.

Jim and Brian are doing am amazing thing cuz Kevin Sullivan is a living legend.

This was a great listen

I saw one Sullivan match first time round (Versus Hardbody at Spring Break Nitro 97), yet can listen to him talk about wrestling for hours and hours (and have done) and consider myself a fan.

Jim cornette, you and I agree on nothing from religion to politics other than we both despise Vince Rosso. That being said, thank you for this interview. Have waited for a long time to hear this man's side of the story. Very well done work. Continue to documents the history of wrestling as it is one of the few things on which you and I can both agree and engage in with some mutual interest and agreement.

Great interview.. love you honesty👌🏻👌🏻

Thanks for this

I grew up being a huge chris Benoit fan and I truly thought kevin did it as a child and admittedly until somewhat recently just purely because of the motive no man walks away from a 13 year relationship like that without severe pain. With that being said I am older now and thanks to jim have actually gained an interest in old gcw tapes and I have a whole new respect for kevin and his character.

Sullivan had nothing to do with that faitful night dude. Chris and Nancy were in an extremely turbulent, erratic and sometimes violent relationship. By the end, they had almost split numerous times but kept together for Daniel's sake. Meanwhile, Chris' brain was the equivalent of mountain porridge by the this point. To boot, he had just lost his best friend the world whilst being directly in the public eye the whole time. That week he completely snapped beyond all reprehension and slipped away from sanity. The comments from Nancy's family, Dean's wife, Jericho and all those involved portray a mindset that they cannot ever accept that a man they loved so much and admired unconditionally could ever do anything as horrendous and unforgivable as what he did that night. Hence, they look for a scapegoat to offset the possibility of reality because the reality and greif facing them cannot compute in their brains. They can't be blamed for their emotions or anger any more than Kevin can. It's such a sad, tragic situation of which the scars will last for a lifetime for all involved.

Jim...thanks for balancing the scales. Some thoughts from William Regal?

Man - very much appreciate this interview. I may not see eye-to-eye with some of the recollections, BUT I always thought there was a little more than meets the eye concerning the B&W portrayal of Sullivan in the Benoit episode.

Waited to hear this part of the episode. Turns out the outcome was exactly what i thought it would be

I sure did,Kevin is one of the truly great personalities in the history of professional wrestling.

That crazy manipulative ex of yours that everyone else thought was the “victim” and made you look like the bad guy, while simultaneously pushing all your buttons and making your life a miserable living hell…..yea well that was probably Nancy.

Gotta love Jim... "People think I'm really crazy!! Lmao! Love the show guys

That's why is good to hear the whole story!!!
