No one, and I mean no one, knew more about what worked and what didn’t in professional wrestling than @realkevsullivan. He wrote some of the most successful television program ever during the Monday night wars. I will miss him…we will all miss him, but I’m sure he’s up there… pic.twitter.com/kKDzMa9e8u

Just heard that Kevin “Sully” Sullivan has passed away. His passing really hurts my heart.

I recently was talking to Ric Flair who told me that Sully wasn't doing well and I should call him. I immediately called him, and I talked about it on an interview I did with @CodyRhodes.… pic.twitter.com/sdbVZNJHzX
