Kevin Sullivan: Sid Didn’t Want To Put Over “Midget” Benoit

Former WCW Booker Kevin Sullivan appeared on David Penzer's new podcast talking about his time in WCW. You can hear the full podcast at this link, and submitted highlights below.

Having to convince talent to put people over: 

“David, you know this story. I walked into a room with Sid Vicious, 6′ 9″, with a babyface that was 5′ 8″ at best and asked him to put Chris Benoit over clean. (Sid) b—hed and moaned and said, ‘why am I putting a midget over’? Sid said, ‘What is wrong with you?’ Sometimes it not as easy as it sounds.”

His early reactions to Goldberg:

“I beat Bill Goldberg on Nitro with Steve McMichael when he wore the Falcons Jacket and the red tights and red boots. After that I kept (Goldberg) off TV for eight weeks, shaved his head, gave him the Mike Tyson short boots, the black tights breathing fire like a dragon, and put him on the winning streak!”
