I probably wont't be that interested in him. As he comes off as another Baron Corbin/Big Cass/Tomko/Snitsky type. Where he is big and mean and growls, and for some reason I'm supposed to care.
But as far as him being an edgelord and shit posting on a forum 6 years ago. No, I don't really care either way.

I liked him quite a bit in NXT, so I hope he has some success on the main roster

The reaction in this thread so far is surprising. I'd assumed, from a few posts here and there, that he was viewed as a talented big man with a lot of upside. I liked him a lot in NXT. He really wasn't over at all, though. To answer the question... I don't know. Ronda and Brock both hold shitty views IRL but I don't really think about them when they're both out there. I'll try to separate the character from the real person, but I wish he could've made it easy for me by not being such a f***ing idiot.

I'll watch him, as it was 6 years ago. But if he still has his name on his trunks I'm making the 'L' invisible.

I can’t say I’m a fan no more. The act itself wasn’t anything groundbreaking but knowing the tool that plays the character, I’m good.

Not that worried really he will probably end up like Vladimir Kozlov and be dancing in the ring in about a year.

Only if he is revealed to be the son of Evad Sullivan and like his father walks down to "I Wanna Be A Hulkamaniac", and considering what Hogan did, that won't be a shock that he wants to be like Hogan. Oh and his new name should be Sral Sullivan.

If anything you can enjoy when he starts to fall down the card and become a monster jobber in a years time, which will inevitably happen.

I can't. what little I watch of the product, should it contain that asshat in any way, will be flipped to a different channel. However, I must ask, by that logic, Could white power lars, IRL, be caught on camera say throwing a puppy out a moving car and it's cool because character =/=person. Like what's the limit before it's too much for you? Being ignorant and having terrible opinions is different to me than murdering a puppy, so that would be too much. Nifty now to find the middle line between blatant racism and puppy murder, hmmm, Maybe a n word filled rant where he's yelling at a black dog. No, but seriously the argument character =/= person is stupid, never use it.

No, but seriously the argument character =/= person is stupid, never use it. So is elite attitude to justify an argument. Some dumb shit said on the internet half a decade ago doesn't offend me either. not that I watch current wwe. But theres a lot,of assumptions made that have no real validity. Perhaps the man changed before being alotted the opportunity to perform? Guess I'll have to wait 6 years before someone digs those posts up though. Character/performer being separate is valid. Because he isn't Adolf Hitler, He is,a guy who said dumb shit. Don't like it change the channel, but dont try and bully people who disagree with ya, cause that isn't ok either.

I mean... if he’s changed, why not disown his comments? You’d be amazed at how far a well-worded, sincere-sounding statement would go to earn him some benefit. Talk about how you’ve met people that changed your views. Say that you’re better for it, have a PR guy write it and sprinkle in some nice anecdotes. It’s easy enough. If Lars wanted to apologize, I don’t think WWE would stop him. They’d probably make it a subplot in a network documentary. Something about wrestling being a force for good.

Same people that caped for Hogan caping for Lars. Truly shocking.
All the “what if he’s a changed man??” mental gymnastics stuff isn’t really necessary. Just say you’re not bothered by racism and leave it at that.

Why would it be? I don't know him, so he has a dumb belief or did, that's his choice, has no bearing on me in any way. Is he a good guy? Is he a racist ass? Never met him and won't judge him unless I did. As a wrestler I have no desire to watch him. As a human he doesn't register one way or the other to me.

Why should he have to, he doesn't need to apologize if his words weren't directed at a specific individual. I work in a multi cultural environment, race jilted happen all day from everyone. We all know it's a joke and if it gets pushed too far then we say something. I don't agree with recruits as I really don't get it. But he owes nothing to the WWE consumer.
