In the latest episode of The School of Morton podcast, Ricky Morton had “The Taskmaster” Kevin Sullivan in to talk about his career in ECW, WCW & the territories. During the episode, Sullivan revealed how the diminutive wrestler was able to appear so domineering over opponents, who’d sometimes be a full foot taller:
“We were an illusion. I was 5’8” at tops but I was 250 and what I did was I would go to the ring first with a whirlwind and as Blackjack came down he was 6’ 9” I would jump him… beat him up and then throw him in the ring and when I came in the ring I was standing up above him and as you are looking at someone in the ring they’re up four feet anyway so the size difference was he was laying down and I was up so I looked like King Kong.”
This and more is available in the latest episode of The School of Morton, available on iTunes & podbean.
