Mental health issues are tragic. I don't wish them on anyone. I have anxiety disorder. It f***ing sucks.
That said, I really hope they don't do this. I would be most happy if he never made it to TV.

This! Given how nervous he clearly is, prefer they build him up slower than January debut straight into a Cena at Mania program.

I've been having the feeling for awhile just from how much they were pushing the free agent thing and how they also do that with Cena.
That said this is an outright f***ing horrible idea. Even getting past the racial stuff - which is a BIG thing to get past - I really just cannot see a scenario in which Lars ever gets even slightly over. Not even NXT crowds ever particularly cared about him and he's really not all that impressive of a power guy - he's not really all that big and he has a terrible finisher.

I wonder how much those inflammatory message board posts being dug up has played into this anxiety. Like, he’s on the verge of making it to WWE’s main roster, the big time... and then his internet paper trail, which he almost certainly forgot about as he went on with his life and his career (if not necessarily those inflammatory views, I can’t know for sure), caught up with him and now he’s seen in a completely different light and getting abused as such.
(And no, none of that is condoning anything he said, just to be 100% sure)

WWE really latches in the weirdest guys for big pushs out of the gate.It is just part of the mentality that Vince doesnt care about "perfomance" or "how over he is",he sees money in someone he will push then.

It is the smartest thing to do to wait it go down.

For a moment, I read this header and asked myself why Kevin Sullivan would be working Wrestlemania, let alone with John Cena.
Then I remembered Lars.
Yeah, mental illness sucks. Hopefully he can get the help he needs.

I think the things that he said were disgusting, but I also feel really bad for the guy. This is his dream and to see anxiety possibly stop him.

That would be a LARSly forgettable match.

I've dealt with anxiety for most of my life, so I hope he gets the help he needs. But like Lizuka said, he wasn't even over in NXT (and I liked the guy) so rushing him into a program with Cena on the main roster is weird.

This is basically the same that they did with Sheamus Sheamus was barely 2 week in ECW before Vince decided to ship him to RAW and after destroying jobbers beat Cena for the Title.

I would totally be down for a Kevin Sullivan led Dungeon of Doom to end Cenamania.

I've suffered with anxiety since I was a kid so I feel him on that. It's terrible.
But bruh, this dude hasn't done a thing on the main roster yet. There's time before WM so they need to develop Cena's opponent a bit and there's not enough time to make this match seem like it isn't a pre-show match.

Add me to the anxiety sufferers list.
Also I know Mania is at an outdoor stadium so it may not be as loud, but Lars in front of a mostly smarky crowd in New York chanting whatever at him seems like a bad idea for his well being and WWE in general.

Getting the old Yokozuna treatment of defeating the top star on his way out I see. Poor dude though. Anxiety is a MFer to deal with.

There's time before WM so they need to develop Cena's opponent a bit and there's not enough time to make this match seem like it isn't a pre-show match. There are other things I'd rather see Cena do for WM like an IC title program with Ambrose (since he's never held the title) or, hell, a program with EC3. As for Lars, they should just have him start out by winning the Andre (if that's still a thing) at WM or something. Not that it's really ever helped anyone who's won it, but he's not ready to be thrown in there with Cena just yet.

I'd have Lars murk some mooks for awhile, then lose the Andre to someone in a fluky way and feud with them afterards.
