WWE legend and current creative director Paul “Triple H” Levesque released a heartbreaking tribute to Kevin Sullivan following his death on Friday.
Sullivan was 41 and overlapped with Levesque in World Championship Wrestling.
Sullivan was 74 and was best known as “The Taskmaster” during his heyday in WCW.
“Kevin Sullivan had one of the most unique minds in the history of our industry, pushing creative boundaries and developing some of the most fascinating characters to step into the ring,” Levesque said on social media.
“He had an unwavering passion for what we do. My thoughts are with his family, friends and fans.”

Sullivan ended his career as a full-time wrestler in 1997, but remained in the industry long after his active career ended.
Sullivan performed for both TNA and Ring of Honor after WCW was disbanded in 2001.
With 14 world titles, Levesque is one of the most famous wrestlers in history.
Triple H is tied with Randy Orton for third place in the WWE overall rankings, with only Ric Flair and John Cena having won fewer world titles each, 16.
Levesque, 55, retired from wrestling competition in 2022 after suffering from heart failure.
Outside the ring, Levesque is married to Stephanie McMahon, the daughter of former WWE CEO Vince McMahon.
