Lars Sullivan's bigoted past (Titus O'Neil tweets)
 

Link to the original post on SquaredCircle

Re-posting from the other thread

Those posts are really bad, especially the ones where he belittles people for having anxiety despite suffering through it himself. And he blocks anyone who brings up these posts.

It’s not even that he said one or two awful things. These are posts spanning half a decade showing patterns of racism, homophobia, and a complete lack of regard for the mentally ill. And all of these posts were when he was in his 20s and at an age where he clearly should’ve known better.

Is it possible for people to change? Yes. But his refusal to own up to any of his mistakes tells me that he hasn’t.

Sauce

Like a week ago he made a tweet calling someone a libtard.

He’s not really remorseful, he’s just trying to cover his ass.

His timeline suggests that he's a troubled individual. I am concerned about his health like many others. Hopefully he grows as a person.

Hulk Hogan said some bad things privately, mostly about one person he disliked his daughter dating, but he brought race into it, and he lost his job for about 3 years.

Lars publicly made countless posts over an extended period of time. He HAS to be gone right?

How does Vince defend keeping Lars at the next Saudi show? You don't think the country that ordered a hit on a journalist like 6 months ago is going to be cool with the things Lars said about the middle of east, Muslims, etc.

I expect he will be gone by the weekend, but you gotta wonder why didn't WWE find this stuff before they hired him? Or at least foresee it coming out in the future.

Props to u/MicDropsAndCumshots for posting that thread on reddit.

That's an unfortunate username :lol:

How great is it that Bubba Ray couldn’t do his Bully gimmick in WWE because of the Be a Star campaign but WWE knows about this and is like cool whatever.

Seems like a weird person to give a push to as WWE heads towards FOX...I know they are tight w/ TMZ but this is the kind of the thing that could 'blow up' on social media when they have more eyes on them and Lars is feuding with Big Doggo Dog.

They should just fire Lars and bring up The King of Bros!

lol he’s literally Heyman.

That was before Impact became cool with letting talent use established names outside of their company.

A lot of it does seem like common shit you would see on the internet all the time before like 2010 so none if it seems that "shocking" 2 me

I wanna say he should publicly apologize but with that comes the danger of it blowing up way more and spiraling out of control... but seems like that might happen / is happening anyway

Also always feel bothered by "snitch culture" of looking up people's 10+ year old tweets/posts and trying to ruin their lives / get them fired

He should def at least talk to guys in the locker room to apologize / "explain himself"

Feels like he'd fit it pretty well with Team Gorm when they were active.

I would certainly understand the 12 year old posts coming from a then 18 year old, but he still tweets some questionable stuff today, so it's not like his views are more matured.

Like Vito said, he was just calling people a "liberal retard" aka libtard, so the I was just a kid who didn't know better back then argument is hard to make.

Can't find anything about him calling someone a "libtard" recently, just him saying "hello easily triggered WWE Universe"

Thing I learned once: Sin Cara is the "Meng" of this generation of WWE wrestlers...lots of stories of him getting into fights backstage in the indies and WWE and always winning.


WWE made him take Anger Management classes after he kicked Chris Jericho's ass backstage once and then knocked out Simon Gotch with a can of soda.

Are you confusing Kalisto for Sin Cara?

Sin Cara/Hunico chopping the fuck outta this host

Dang! That looked stiff. I recently saw "Smack Em Up" on Instant Video. Japanese fans like to be chopped?

That Finn/Prince Devitt documentary is good btw!

Yeah! Much respect for Balor.

So Hunico beat up Sheamus (2x), Simon Gotch, and Jericho. Apparently, Yoshi Tatsu knocked out Sheamus as well :eek:

Even that's fucking shitty. Triggers are legitimate things that stem from trauma and PTSD. As someone who suffers from mental illness, he should be less of shitty person to people who suffer from that. Politically, it's been co-opted by a bunch of dicks who are scared of women and create ad hominem memes to mock them for trying to get equality.

The dude's a shit. He's been trouble since day dot. It's uncomfortable watching him knowing that he's a piece of shit. Yeah, wrestling may have been full of them once upon a time, but it's a different era. It seems to have upset a lot of talent and fans.

So he's an average TPWW poster circa 2005? And?

We didn't just let anyone in. We were a very exclusive group.

So stupid. He's just asking for a lawsuit. (See Hogan and Richard Belzer)

you are such a fucking ween

Just push him as a Neo Nazi.

He looks amazing.

I think they might release him. Imagine the fans chanting "You're a racist" although knowing Vince.....

"Imagine the heat he'll get for beating Kofi for the title!"

Exactly this.

As someone else who also suffers from mental illness, I agree with you. It's hella uncomfortable watching him knowing how bigoted he is.

Careful, this is how The Oddities started.

They need to get rid of him. I was just watching Smackdown and it felt uncomfortable watching him beat down R-Truth. Fuck Lars.

Just ban WWE talent from using social media. starts too much shit.

He has already said it

There’s no way I’d be willing to put this guy over.

I hope Lars Sullivan has a daughter and she gets fucked by Big E

How would you go about stopping him, out of interest?

Lars is probably going to destroy Kofi and become WWE Champion. Use the "Wild Card" option and annihilate Rollins on RAW for the Universal title. This will be followed by a Live Sex Celebration with Baron Corbin. That's heat.

lol this is the best post you've ever made. But also don't act like you haven't furiously fapped to this image.

Induce a panic attack. That'll show 'em.

I wonder if hes already just Lars. I didnt pay attention if the last name got dropped already

baron would at least be smart enough to pin him during it

By not jobbing to him?

Only a drawing of it.

Ah, the nonpology.

Fuck Lars

Generic and boring big man. Yawn.. I guess he's a shitty human being as well.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">the thing about Lar's Sullivan's 'apology' is that when you say &quot;I apologise to anyone who was offended&quot; you are effectively saying &quot;I'm sorry I got caught&quot;.

IfI was Lars Sullivan I'd come out using D-Lo's theme tune as soon as possible.

I hope he's made WWE champ just so Noid cries himself to sleep.

Also I saw a clip of Mcmahon calling John Cena "my nigga" a while back which utterly blew my mind so just dress this guy up like German Sgt Slaughter.

in all honesty, it must be super awkward - particularly at this point - for Lars to deal with the guys he made shitty comments toward. Especially considering they all have considerably more clout than him.

lol he is probably pretty quiet backstage. No wonder he had anxiety issues LOL

lol especially his comments on Kofi and Truth. must get some weird looks back stage.

yeah like obvious racism aside, Truth is BFFs with Vince and Kofi is the champ. I get Lars is being pushed, but he could probably make 1,000,000 omelets with the eggshells he's walking on right now.

Of all people, I wouldn't want to piss off Big E either. Lars is big but Big E is a fucking monster.

2 takeaways
1 - forgot i was banned from squaredcirce
2 - big e aint done shit in 6 years as a singles wrestler

if you're referring to what I said... I'm talking about a shoot fight. If you aren't... he's still allowed to have a say and he's a locker room leader.

But also you're an idiot.

Did Haku ever do shit as a wrestler? Cause I'm pretty sure even at 60 he'd eat Droford.

Just thinking about the fact big Es been on the roster 6 years and he only held the IC title once 5 years ago for 2 months after beating Curtis Axel and didnt even defend it at WM 30 (andre battle royal). Every other match hes had at WM has been in a tag team. Never really been pushed as a singles wrestler.

and?

Damn. That place sounds like heaven.

He should adopt a Cruiserweight gimmick where he has body dysmorphia and only wants to fight the little guys.

He could change his name to Big E Smalls

Or he could grow breasts and change his name to PN Boobs where PN stands for Pretty Nice.

Just give him a rapper name and a body dysmorphia gimmick. Watch the influencers and virtue signallers drive the ratings miles high.

I don’t know how much bigger Big E’s breasts could get. They’re already pretty massive.

Damn...

Those are some pretty nice boobs.

Trust a woman to be shitty at tit slapping.

Is that Paige? More time in OVW necessary before attempting that maneuver.

Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't last long in WWE.

Already has a locker room that's not fond of him, got his first big push axed due to sudden anxiety issues and doubt he's getting another one any time soon, and his monster heel gimmick typically has a short shelf life in WWE.

Only when Hogan's the champ

It's a gimmick that exists to be future Big Doggo food.

I understand the need for said gimmick. Big Doggo Dog needs new and legit threats/challenges to his yard.

Was surprised WWE didn't give Killian Dane a monster like push when he got called up last year tbh.

Would be funny if WWE repackaged OTIS as a 'monster heel' w/o any explanation and the commentary team acted terrified of him.

Hope OTIS would have a cape in this situation...picturing OTIS with a cape.

Monster heels are only good if they have a maximum of 5 moves in their set.

Bundy is the one to watch for all upcoming monster heels.
Bash, Bash, Slam, Bash, Bash, Splash, LONG PIN

Bundy.

Some of those comments aren't that old right? That whole "I was a different person then" remark is typically bullshit. He's prob still a racist, homophobic, ignorant pile of horse shit. And his non apology is the equivalent of Hogan's non apology. Which was bullocks itself.

The fact that wwe has allegedly known about this the whole time is hilarious. Imagine being a talent there of any non white ethnicity, reading this shit, then reading that your boss knew it was out there and still hired this fuck. What would compel you to want to work with this individual or this company going forward?

The only choice is to try to save face and fire him immediately.

If they fired him now it would look so awful, even worse because their integrity and credibility would be utterly destroyed.

So WCW were actually more progressive in 1993 than WWE is now.

Ask Bill Watts

The few articles I’ve read (and granted, most of these seem to talk about wrestling more than other outlets), are quick to point out that while Lars makes a stock apology and all is supposedly to be forgiven, young black wrestlers are pulled off the road for having attitude problems.

@ Damian Rey

You are correct, there is stuff from 2012 and maybe up thru 2014/2015.

Let's be honest here, their credibility is long gone. This is a company that's taking blood money from an oppressive regime to run shows in a venue where their women and even certain men of varying religious backgrounds aren't welcomed. They have no credibility.

The logic behind canning human shit bag Lars is to show their locker room, particularly the ethnic portion, that they're aware they've made a mistake and are trying to remedy it, even tho he should've never been hired or kept on if they knew about it.

Can I advise anyone who is disgusted by WWE to cancel their WWE Networks. Stop giving this company money. You can find whatever you want on the internet.

I meant their integrity with regards to their stance on why they signed him and keep him on.

The Saudi Arabia stuff would bother me if there was some sort of worldwide sporting embargo on them but everyone plays sports there and they are invited to play all over the world.
I can't hammer Vince for something governments willingly allow.

Two wrongs don't...

Ah nevermind.
I'm square enough already.

Yeah, no, you're totally right considering WWE never take down anything from the vast library they own that others post.

I cancelled the network long ago. I reordered to watch nxt mania, and nxt was worth it.

The network is still seemingly holding. Not going to events, not buying merch and not watching their shitty television product is the way to go.

I love WWE network.

I'm rewatching WCW events I didn't even know I had seen before. Apparently I saw a lot of this in Scotland as a 5-8 year old. I keep getting lovely goosebumps whenever I see someone I remember. Johnny B Badd was always Marc Mero to me until I remembered him putting kiss shaped stickers on his fallen opponent. That is a 25 year old memory and I was knocked sideways by it because I can't have thought about it since I was a tot.

Saw The Ding Dongs for the first time ever last night. I assumed that this was classic anti-Herd hyperbole but nope, they really did leave bells all over the canvas and one of them really did rattle a bell all the way through the fucking match.

I have never seen heat like it. It was instantaneous and absolutely the wrong sort of anger...

I have never felt so sorry for and simultaneously angry at a performance.

That will be my tinnitus if I ever get it.

Wtf

Just saying "WTF" doesn't immediately render something nonsensical, Noid.

The one time DAMN INATOR gets straight to the point without a tangent and you "WTF" him.
Sort your priorities out man.

I want to see Lars get fired just because Mars is pissed over it and might not sponsor Mania no more

Now that is what bothers me, if they fire him just cause the sponsor told them to.

1. WWE looks like shit for not doing it on their own
2. Shows neither company actually cares about the issue, just willing to do enough to ensure their mutual beneficial relationship continues.

If Mars candy REALLY cared, it would not ask for Lars to be fired or else, it would be we can no longer do business with a company who either doesn't perform due diligence or who wilfully ignored this.
