10 WWE Wrestlers Who Have Never Been WORSE Than Right Now
Things can only get better!
The other week I did a list of ten wrestlers who have never been better than right now. Featuring the likes of Adam Cole, Jon Moxley, and Cody Rhodes, it showcased stars who have been through it all in the wrestling industry and are currently living their best lives.
Nevertheless, for every performer hitting the peak of their career, there are others whose situation has never been in more dire straits. Whether it be a fall from grace, being booked into oblivion, or trapped in a position from which there appears no resolution.
An honourable mention has to go to Rusev, a man who prior to Raw this week would've comfortably made the top three on this list. Inexplicably though, the revelation that he is a sex addict has somehow salvaged this dreadful storyline from being the lowest point of his time with WWE to...the second worst?!
The ten men who make up this countdown can all salvage their careers in one way or another, but it's going to take a hell of a lot of work. These are 10 wrestlers who have never been worse than right now...
10. Lars Sullivan
What a year it has been for Lars Sullivan.
Around Survivor Series 2018, vignettes began airing warning fans of his impending arrival on the main roster. Although an anxiety attack delayed his debut until after WrestleMania, he made quite the impact on the Raw after 'Mania, destroying a recently retired Kurt Angle.
Subsequent demolitions of The Hardy Boyz and Rey Mysterio followed, and Sullivan seemed poised for a run as a monster heel. However, when revelations about racist, sexist and homophobic posts he had previously made on bodybuilding forums surfaced, the wheels began to fall off.
WWE attempted to control the matter by announcing a $100k fine and sensitivity training for the wrestler, but many fans had already lost faith in and goodwill for him.
A disappointing feud with Lucha House Party followed; Sullivan won his first main roster pay-per-view match, but only via DQ, and when he eventually claimed a clean victory over the trio on TV there was a muted crowd reaction.
Sullivan has been missing from WWE since then after suffering a knee injury in that match, and there seems little desire to see him return. Often a layoff means fans will clamour for a wrestler's comeback, but it seems that unless the company does something drastic to shift the narrative with Lars Sullivan, he's tainted goods.
