Your Hosts: Patrick Kelley & James Walsh
We've got 2 for the price of none today! Your friends at the Wrestling Epicenter
are proud to bring you the latest episode of The Interactive Interview featuring
2 interviews that could peak some interest. They are with 2 men with credentials
in sports other than wrestling. Yet, they both seem to fit on a pro wrestling
show!
First, UFC's ring announcer Bruce Buffer steps out of the Octagon and into
the Epicenter for the first time ever! A great interview with a nice man
as he discusses why he never bothered with pro wrestling, why he loves MMA,
and what he thinks the future is of both realms of entertainment.
Then, James and Patrick discuss the Royal Rumble, Bobby Lashley, and countless
other random topics in their world infamous ADD riddled way.
Then, a man who many Internet reports said died in November stops by to say
he's still alive. In fact, he's doing very well for himself as a football
coach in Nebraska. The former lovable "Evad" Dave "Equalizer" Sullivan!
This broadcast is available for glorious digital audio download at
www.wrestlingepicenter.com. It's free as are all of our nearly 400 pro wrestling
interviews conducted over the past 5 years!

"Evad" Dave "The Equalizer" Sullivan
- The interview opens up with James explaining that previous
reports of Dave Sullivan having passed away were wrong. Right now, he is
a Head Football Coach for a college in Nebraska.
- He’s been out of wrestling for a few years. He says he misses it
sometimes, but is also glad that he’s been able to rest his body and
not take the beatings anymore. He still has some aches and pains from wrestling
and doesn’t know how some of the older guys are still able to do it.
- Dave then explains how he first broke into wrestling, got trained, and
then wound up in WCW. He says that he started slow, but things sped up once
he got into WCW.
- “The Equalizer” character is brought up. It started with his
attitude on the Football field, and they decided to magnify it. Dave has
an extensive past in football with several pro teams as a player and a few
coaching jobs after that. He says that enjoyed his time in wrestling, but
football is his first love.
- When asked about what he thought of the XFL, he felt that Vince tried to
mix too much of the wrestling way of doing things into the product and it
just didn’t work out.
- The Evad character was fun for him to do. He had a little trouble getting
used to having to get into character, but he had fun with it. Every now and
then one of his assistant coaches will bring up items from Dave’s wrestling
career that they bought on Ebay to joke with him.
- When comparing Evad to the WWE’s Eugene, Dave asks “I wonder
where they got that idea” speaking on the obvious similarities between
the two gimmicks.
- DDP comes up, and Dave feels that he only got the push because he was
Bischoff’s buddy backstage. James had mentioned that some say DDP wasn't
as good as he was presented to be while others say he worked his heart out
to make up for whatever he lacked in athletic ability. "Do you think DDP
was as good as he was pushed to be?," asked James. Sullivan's response was
simply, "Did anyone except Bischoff and him?"
- He had a lot of fun working with Hogan and Sting, and has a tremendous
amount of respect for Sting. He was a little distant from Hogan because of
Hogan's star status, but always got along with him.
- Another one of his favorites to work with was Big Bubba Rogers (Big Bossman)
The whole thing with Bubba being allergic to Ralph the Rabbit was fun and
he regrets that we lost him a few years ago.
- When asked about why he was dropped off TV despite his popularity, he says
he has no idea. Somebody pulled the plug obviously, but he doesn’t know
who or why. He says it is possible it was DDP and Bischoff who did but he
doesn't know and doesn't lose sleep over it.
- After WCW, he was left with a sour taste in his mouth, but he had fun working
the Indy shows at the end of his career. He retired in 1999 and says a lot
of the indy shows he did do was because people seemed to want to see the
"Evad" character. He didn't have high aspirations of ending up in the WWE
or anything.
- Once again comparing football to wrestling, he says it does take a different
mindset getting your mind set for football and wrestling, especially since
with wrestling the goal is to put on a show.
- The interview concludes with him giving a special message to his fans that
thought he had actually passed away, and appreciates the fans that still
remember his work in wrestling.
