I don’t think I believe this story honestly. Dude might have had some anxiety attacks, I don’t doubt that part. But, him getting a Cena match at Mania seems pulled out of someone’s butthole to me.

This sounds like a terrible idea. Now, replace Sullivan with Velveteen Dream, and we're good to go. Cena already said he wants to work with Dream and EC3. Granted EC3 isn’t lighting the world on fire, but he isn’t a known racist, and the story would be infinitely better than “monster guy wants to kill Cena”. Dream would be a slam dunk.

Does it really though? Like, Triple H literally tweeted a photo of this dude's hand when he just started at the performance center. They've wanted to push him forever.

So, the plan is to have a guy who has yet to prove himself on the main roster, and who prior to getting signed to the WWE was making homophobic comments and posting white nationalist talking points on a bodybuilding forum and now is known to suffer from anxiety attacks to be against a 16-time World Champ in front of a WM crowd, which will for sure not be showing him any mercy. What could possibly go wrong here? This shit befuddles me. Any other company, same situation, and it’d be personally crucified in the public square but WWE manages to fly under the radar as this vestige carny artform. I think it really has to do with the expectations of WWE and pro wrestling in general being so low that they're not held to any kind of standards of decency.
Like, WWE is a mini-media empire worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but people treat them like they're still soap operas for rednecks or something.
I feel for Lars Sullivan on his mental health issues, as I also suffer from anxiety. Anxiety attacks are not fun in the slightest. But if it's related to any of his racist shit from the past, easiest way to get past that is to just apologize and say something like "I felt that way in the past, but I've grown as a person and I don't feel that way anymore. I'm ashamed of my past beliefs." Unless he still feels that way. Then, welp. Maybe stop being a racist.

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. Dammit, you beat me to it. I thought Kevin Sullivan as well.

I also thought this was about Kevin Sullivan at first and was very confused.

I can believe it. The precedent's been there for a quite a while that they just do whatever with Cena now.

I don’t really think a picture of a hand from years ago translates to a WM match with one of their biggest stars of all time. Not sure the correlation honestly.

Yeah dude has been hyped since his developmental deal. I heard of him way before stars regularly competing in NXT today actually appeared on NXT television, hell even before Strowman.

I'm ashamed of my past beliefs." Unless he still feels that way. Then, welp. Maybe stop being a racist.
That's an issue I've got as well. I'm someone who's said some shit back during my high school years and a bit past that that was mainly due to me wanting to fit in and be viewed as one of the guys back in the day. I fully regret my actions, I've educated myself in seeing how that kinda behavior (even joking-wise) can affect others, and even stated to one of my buddies a while back who's bisexual that I used to act that way and I was sorry. He never knew that part about me, and didn't feel that I needed to apologize for something that I hadn't felt for years, but I felt that it was the right thing to do. And then there's this situation, where even if he does feel remorse for his actions, the fact of the matter is that he's now representing a billion-dollar company and as a result is going to be held to a certain standard in the public eye. And to my knowledge, he has not publicly stated any form of remorse. Even if he doesn't mean it, just saying that he's grown and feels remorse would remove that stigma from him. And yet for some reason, he has not, even with this having gone public a few months back.

I bet Cena pitched working with EC3 at Mania and Vince said “wanna put over one of the youngsters from NXT, huh? You got it pal!” And then Sullivan walked through the door and Cena called his agent to get him another movie so he could leave again.

Because of course the only two options are "bet the farm" and "worthless nobody".

Lucky enough not to have anxiety issues (although I have other mental issues), but despite his past remarks, Vince...please don't put that nightmare pressure on Lars.
Eddie Guerrero had to drop the title earlier than planned because he couldn't handle the pressure of being champion...and he was a veteran for YEARS!!!!!! Please don't put pressure on a guy who is just getting started on the main roster to be in a big Mania match. This doesn't end well.
