If those plans are to help him to find work outside of wrestling or to continue his education, go for it. If the plans are to put him on TV then nah, I'm good, guy is a dumbass racist.

It'd be amazing if they put this much effort in to guys that actually got over in developmental.

Why would WWE use developmental and NXT in the way it was intended to be used but instead just choosing who you like, trying to garner any sort of reaction from them without the same kind of build? You’re talking silly.

Unless he comes back in a humiliating Rondo Hatton gimmick, screw him.

Have him eliminate Braun to win the ATGMBR. That would be a classic feud. Finally Braun meets his match.
In reference to his bodybuilding forum posts, I think it’s clearly obvious he was trolling and looking for a reaction. His “lol at anxiety” post gives it away. The guy was probably secretly suffering with this and poking fun at it as an escape route and to appear “tough” online. That’s my take on it.

Braun can't really afford to take L's to someone as new as him and if they see something in Lars you don't want him taking an L to start his career either
Just like Strowman before him, Lars should be squashing jobbers while slowly building himself up

I don't really hold guys not getting over in NXT as a death sentence given NXT and the WWE are so different in terms of crowds and how they book people.

Strowman can afford to take a loss to Sullivan. It would be believable and give Strowman something fresh. Every time he goes into a feud, he’s the dominant force... not this time. This time he would be humbled and dominated. Plus there’s always the option to have them team up and wreck shit a few months down the line. I really want to see this feud.

Strowman has not been dominant in months since last summer
He's been getting jumped by 3 or more guys but it's put him down the card due to not getting back at them. Braun has lost to established people but losing to Lars is not the way to go to debut him.
Besides that, you build that feud and you just don't give it away as a debut matchup. They shouldn't even be on the same show so nah i'm not with it because it doesn't make sense for either guy. At one point I was with this match up but not with Braun being M.I.A for months and having no credibility on the main roster

Judging from his Internet footprint, he’s the new unfrozen Heidenreich.

He looks like a carnival freak in a way I found briefly interesting, but given he's not only a complete chode, but a super unreliable chode, I don't really see any upside in using him.

So... I'm not shit stirring here, just curious. Is there more to the Lars racist story than I know? All I can see is that he made shitty comments on a message board in 2007.
Now, that's shit obviously and inexcusable.
But should someone be unemployable for life for their actions when they were 21?
Has he commented on this? Does he still hold these beliefs?
Obviously if he still espouses these views that's a different issue. But surely people should be allowed to reform and make amends.
I'm sure in my early 20's I did/said countless stupid things. I mean, not in this realm, I think racism is the domain of literal stupid people. More likely I made a drunken show of myself. Is it embarrassing? For sure! Do I think it sure affect my currently livelihood? I'd hope not.
Again, this is all contingent on whether or not there's more to it than I know.

Dude, I think you missed the dates of those posts in question. He was talking stupid shit back in 2007, but the posts where he was espousing white supremacist and homophobic shit was from 2012 and 2013, and that post from earlier in the thread where he shits on people that suffer from anxiety issues was from 5 months before he started working for the WWE in October 2013. He was in his mid 20s by then. Also, while it may be true that we've all done stupid things at that age, we aren't working for a global mainstream company like the WWE. Anything negative that the talents do can come back to give a negative light to the company.

And, as people have pointed out before, that "freak" aura will last about ten minutes on the main roster, before people realise Lars Sullivan isn't that big. It's fine being portrayed as a monster when the guys you're wrestling are generally shorter than 5'10", but things are a little different on the main roster. There is no real money in Lars Sullivan, and Vince's interest in him would probably be over and done with already, if he'd debuted when they planned.
