Trying to make something like this work in a matter of a few months is setting the guy up to fail. Put him in a tag team, let him get tagged in, hit his spots and get his legs under him. Having someone work one of the most visible programs on the biggest event of the year when they are dealing with this is nothing different than sending him out there with a major injury.

Yeah it makes no sense. Honestly I don't want to see it period. Take away the comments and the panic attacks, I don't never found him that interesting let alone a guy I want to see Cena face at WM.

I'm another anxiety sufferer..... it is a B*TCH and I can only imagine what it's like as a professional wrestler who is about to perform on national television. They need to bring him along slow and not hotshot him into a slot with Cena that could make or break his entire career (possibly).

Is putting a guy who keeps having panic attacks in a high profile match with John Cena at WrestleMania really a wise idea? Give the dude more time, he clearly needs it. It is one stance,we cant really know how often he gets it. But yes,its not wise to force someone having anxiety attacks to just do it. A post-WM debut would probably end up with calmer nerves. Strowman, someone who seems to be very confident, looked shaken for about 2 years on the main roster until he became comfortable with himself on screen. Lars suffers from anxiety and it might just be me but he seems like someone who's probably more confident behind a computer screen than being in front of people (judging his past) so you get that factored into it as well, factor in the fact he hasn't proven himself, factor in the fact that it's the biggest event of the year and it's John Cena? That doesn't sound good.
If they're still looking to keep him around after that crap (which it seems they are) then he needs to be in a stable or tag team for 2 years like Strowman before breaking out and being a single's star. If it took Strowman that long then it needs to take him just as long too.

Don't waste a precious cena mania match against an untested guy. This feels like Jericho vs fandango. Let him win the 17th title. Cena vs lesnar or bryan or styles is the way to go. Or give him a full proper match with taker to make up for last year. Not heidenreich 2.o. at last fandango got reactions for the feud it was a little different was decent. plus it was not a high profile match this is more along the line of giant Gonzales vs taker.

Hope he finds means of coping with his anxiety, somewhere other than WWE.
Because f*** this guy, I'd rather not see him because he's a racist scumbag.

"Hey Paul, Let's Give the Fans What They Want" *Triple H looks around for another generic big guy* And this is how we get stuck with Riddick Moss in a prominent role on RAW.

Even if you take away the comments this is a terrible idea. Lars is not top guy material and I relly thgink putting him into a situation where you hotshot him to a Mania Cena feud fresh on the roster is utter insanity. Even if you want him to be a big deal, start a bit slower, let him work his way up to it. I swear, Vince never learns when it comes to pushing mediocre big guys right into big spots without letting the audience learn to care about them or letting them develop as talents. A slow burn monster midcard push or some kind of tag team/stable role where he can wreck shop and have his weaknesses covered up for him. Come on, this stuff is basic.
But then also he shared outright white supremacy propaganda so like. Maybe just f*** him with a rake.

Coming to grips with my anxiety disorder by reminding myself that it did a better job keeping a racist off TV than front office.

This would be an absolute waste of Cena. Have him beat Bryan for #17 at mania and then have Bryan win the rematch at backlash by tapping him out or just do Cena/Taker for takers retirement match, really not that hard

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. To be fair, I thought Sheamus worked out fine. It's not exactly his fault he got caught in the "18 seconds" fiasco. I hope Lars gets help. Doesn't excuse his past comments by any stretch, but I wouldn't wish that kind of crippling anxiety on anyone. Here's hoping he gets the help he needs.

On paper I don't *hate* the idea. Saying "it all depends on booking" feels like a cop-out reply, but it really does. It's all about the story they tell. Remember - nobody wanted anything to do with the Braun push initially. There's still time to build him up too, although they will have to turn on the jets.
Lars is actually pretty good in the ring, so the match could be solid. Just don't have them go back and forth on the mic - that'll be instant death for him.

Yep, anxiety sufferer myself here too. I don't agree with his views, but I do feel for the dude. My thing is, if he's having an anxiety attack before a dark match, then what's his mental health going to be like performing in front of 60,000-70,000 people on wrestling's biggest show of the year?
I just hope he gets through it. I'm glad that through Mauro's mental health issues it has caused WWE to start taking it as seriously as physical health.

It is his fault in the sense that he was not good enough for his position,even before 18 seconds he wasnt very popular(The Lets Go Ziggler Chants for example).And people wanted Bryan

I’ve never suffered from anxiety in terms of a performance. But I’ve work and acted with people that did. To put a person like that, in their first program on the main roster, with John Cena, leading up to the biggest show of the year...is certainly something WWE would do lol.

f*** this dude. And I say that as someone who has let social anxiety wreck his life for the past decade.
Mental health issues suck, but him being a racist garbage monster makes it hard for me to sympathize.

I can't see a scenario where giving Lars Sullivan a monster push doesn't end in a PR nightmare.
I can imagine a brief segment on Last Week Tonight where they point out, "here's what that company that did a show in Saudi Arabia is doing next: positioning a white supremacist to be a big star by having a match with John Cena".
