During the most recent episode of āGrilling JRā, Jim Ross revealed why he believes Kevin Sullivan hasn't been hired by a major promotion as a booker, and it's all because in part due to his "Satan Worshiper" gimmick which some believe is real.
"Thereās a couple of things it might be. The residual effect of the satan thing. People think heās a satan worshiper.
They think the image that he projected was based in some loose form of truth, that somewhere in his background, he actually believed, he was like an atheist, and heād like to talk about the devil and all these satanic things. Again, he was working, that was a gimmick, that was a gimmick, but youāre, itās incredulous that somebody is saying this to you, you donāt believe me, I know that, I can tell that right now, you donāt believe me, but the deal is, Conrad, the naĆÆvety in WCW in that era was amazing. You just wouldnāt believe how amazing was. People were so naive with a lack of product knowledge. But I think, thatās one reason. Itās not the reason.
The reason is his age. Iām 67, I think Kevin is a little older than me. The age grabs people, bites people in the ass now days. We found our fine audience, the young audience, 18-49, lot of those young men, are, theyāre impatient, and they donāt trust us older guys, they just donāt. I see it every day online. Itās the way it is."
