I’ve got to admit that im also kind of puzzled as to why the WWE would bother with this wanker. Even without the dumbassed racist forum posts the dude will never make them any money as anything other than a guy that Roman eventually squashes. Dude will have no longevity.

Does Lars Sullivan do anything that - say - Luke Harper couldn't do better? Cosplay as Shrek?

Also like, as in poor taste as the "Why are you complaining about your problems when some people are DYING?" shit is on a normal day, isn't "Yeah so my bank account just got kinda shut down without warning" sort of a big deal? That's not "Subway only had whole wheat bread in, and I like fine herb", that's peoples' money getting f***ed with. YEah... this isn't my wifi went down and I had to use cell data to check twitter. this is my bank closed my account that I likely use to pay my bills / get my paychecks deposited to.

Like I said before I am not expecting anyone to be friends with Lars but if they trust him enough to work with him in the ring then that will buy Lars more time.

Someone on Reddit says they contacted the Mars Wrigley Confectionery about it, and Mars contacted WWE to "see what actions they will take to address the matter" so this may not blow over like WWE wishes, heh. Oh good! I was meaning to do something like this myself. Yeah, my viewpoint on the whole thing is that people can change, but you shouldn't instantly assume they have. I don't even necessarily want Lars fired. Give a public apology, go into some counseling, do some outreach, and don't rush him right back to being pushed like crazy the second he's done that and I'm fine. This is my mindset as well. I don't want the guy to lose his job, I want him to prove that he's no longer that same person. I was a person who used to hold some less-than-stellar views about the LGBT community in my youth, and one of the things that I did when I was in university was to prove to myself that I had changed. So I did things like help volunteer with the campus' LGBT group and also enrolled myself in a literature class focused primarily on the AIDS pandemic, to basically force myself to see that even though my words never came from a place of hate, they were still based on a place of hate. I didn't do these things to prove a point, I did these things because I felt it was the right thing to do. Lars is now in a similar position, surrounded by minorities and also an openly-gay woman in Sonya Deville. This is his chance to show it. And if all of this pressure forced onto him won't show him the error of his ways, I don't now what will. I think you may have posted this before and I may have said it before, but as a queer person, thankyou. I kind of wonder, which is worse, the non apology apology, i.e. "I'm sorry you took offense." or the bland, copy/paste 3 sentence apology? I definitely think the non-apology is worse. A copy paste apology is lazy but at least shows the right intent. A non-apology is not accepting fault.

The sad thing is that he was probably trying to "work" Ember Moon with that stupid "representative" shit, but since he was on NXT and had like, nothing to do with Ember Moon whatsoever, it just makes him look like a scummy douche. <iframe width="28.100000000000136" height="3.4200000000000017" style="position: absolute; width: 28.100000000000136px; height: 3.4200000000000017px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none;left: 15px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_55330683" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="28.100000000000136" height="3.4200000000000017" style="position: absolute; width: 28.1px; height: 3.42px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1340px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_48288962" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="28.100000000000136" height="3.4200000000000017" style="position: absolute; width: 28.1px; height: 3.42px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: 111px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_1547121" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="28.100000000000136" height="3.4200000000000017" style="position: absolute; width: 28.1px; height: 3.42px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1340px; top: 111px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_64161585" scrolling="no"></iframe> It reminds me of Alex Riley making fun of AJ for getting a tattoo of the date she won the Women's title, saying he'd get the date she lost it tattooed on him. He tried to play it off as "being a heel" on social media, but the two of them weren't feuding and never interacted on TV at all, so he just came across as a massive douche.

Apparently he wasn't on either live event tonight in Europe, so take that as you will.

He went from attacking Kofi at a live event days ago to not being at a live event after more of this news gained traction. I love the sound of that.

I can't even imagine what it's like for someone like R Truth having to work with this guy knowing his views on race and knowing he's been insulting and racist about R Truth specifically.
Truth seems a very loyal soldier who will do anything he's asked to do by the WWE so I'm sure he'll just get on with it but man, can't be easy.

Does Lars Sullivan do anything that - say - Luke Harper couldn't do better? Besides being younger and not already being established on the main roster, I don't see any reason why he should be the one in this spot. Coming from someone who liked Lars in NXT... no, he literally does nothing better than Harper. All he has on him is age. Killian Dain is also better than Lars, so to see him not being used on TV at all while Lars is in this spot really sucks.

My big takeaway from that image is, who the hell is Uaas Suwvan? Get some better font, you dopes.
Seriously though, Mars catching wind isn't a great sign for the future of Lars' career.

Said it in the original thread, but the whole thing is a bomb waiting to explode.
I do not see what the point is in them pushing him (or even employing him). Yeah, I know, lolVincemuscleguys, but there's no shortage of them anyway and with better work rate or charisma, or both.
Seems like a major headache for someone that doesn't seem worth it.

At least the comments on that post are thoroughly taking WWE to task over pushing this dude.

Lol at the idea of "William Christenson" tweeting on behalf of Lars.
As if that guy exists.
