All kidding aside, I didn't get it. I think I would have been a huge fan in the Florida days. Legit gimmick. I was just getting into wrestling at unhealthy levels when he was leading the Varsity Club. Why is a satan follower leading a group of varsity athletes? It made zero sense. He had a decent run with no gimmicks, just himself. The Dungeon of Doom was so bad. However, his explanation leads me to his booking. If he really knew the Dungeon sucked, but was appeasing Hogan, not bad. He's a brilliant wrestling mind, but he doesn't have a job. He had a base, but it wasn't my thing.
that's pretty much how i used to look at it. I used to check out one of those Wrestling Heroes & Villians type books from the Bookmobile all the time and it had satan-era sullivan on the cover and also had evil Jake Roberts in there and a super bloody Abdullah the Butcher. Then I eventually saw Varsity Club Sullivan and didn't get it. He always says he took everything he learned from Eddie Graham (i assume he means Mike) and King Curtis.
