That was all completely a work by Pillman, but Pillman used the work to play WCW. Sullivan was in on it to some extent. This has been confirmed by friends of Pillman (such as Meltzer) as well as Sullivan. I'm going to disagree with you on Sullivan somewhat. He didn't necessarily WANT to be the Taskmaster, it's just that no one else was even around who was willing to play that role. And his Benoit feud was quite good. He was cutting excellent promos there. And in the meantime, he's also booking the start of the cruiserweights as well as pushing some new stars (which stops when he gets taken out of the solo booking role). He deserves some credit for getting WCW to where it was in 97. As a wrestler, bad, sure. But as a booker, he was pretty savvy especially when you consider the egos he had to manage. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer ... Copied to Clipboard! |
