Kevin Sullivan – ‘The Rock Should Challenge Roman Reigns Next’
On his “Tuesday with the Taskmaster” podcast, Kevin Sullivan discussed a myriad of wrestling topics including Roman Reigns’ next challenger post-SummerSlam, being unable to book more matchups between Kevin Nash and Goldberg in WCW, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Reigns’ next challenger: “I think he has to take on a Bloodline challenger. I’ve always thought, if this is such a strong connection with the Bloodline, brothers, cousins, they don’t fight. This has always been a rarity, I may have said that facetiously, in the last 50 years. I think they’re going to do well with this. I also think…I could see this thing splitting and going another year and a half. Eventually, he’s going to have to get beat…it’s just the way it is.”
On who in the family should challenge him: “But, who do you replace him with? We talked about this on the first podcast; you can’t beat him, because there’s no one to fill his spot right now. You need him in that spot right now, and I think he’ll do a magnificent job. I almost see, that if The Rock can’t come back and work as an actor, we may see the biggest picture in the world come out with The Rock and Roman crossover with wrestling fans. I could see that happening pretty easily.”
On how they should’ve had a match series for Kevin Nash and Goldberg: “I didn’t mention this before, but trilogies in boxing always seem to draw, whether it Ali-Fraizer…any type of great, exciting fight draws. We should’ve had matches, Nash and Goldberg. They set the world on fire. They changed the whole world. They got people that were no fan of wrestling [to] become [a] fan of wrestling. I think that was our biggest mistake. We were looked down upon by the Brad Siegel’s of the world.”
On how he would’ve booked the Nash and Goldberg trilogy: “We did a magnificent job, Eric [Bischoff] did a magnificent job, the wrestlers themselves did a magnificent job. And my belief is that they could’ve made…you know what I said about the straight finish the first time? The second time, you could do one too, and the third time, you could’ve had a controversial finish, kept it in the bank, and came back one more time for a fourth one.”
