10 Biggest Wrestling Stories Of 2019 (So Far)
9. Lars Sullivan's Past Emerges
*Lars*
"I will ask what are Kofi and R Truth supposed to be? A PG black panther stable? I always wondered why they had to team up two black guys. Both those guys look like they could be in a prison black gang."
"Some blacks want to take advantage of their great grandparents misfortunes, and they want a piece of the pity pie."
"Who pops out the most babies at the youngest age? Hispanics followed by blacks. Why do 50% of black women have STD's? SLOOTS."
*Vince*
"That despicable racism, it's...it's...
...such good sh*t!"
And so WWE proceeded with the Lars Sullivan mega-push, even after Sullivan's own anxiety at the reaction postponed it. The story, originally broken at the turn of the year, resurfaced when Reddit user Snitchboy contacted WWE sponsor Mars Wrigley Confectionery in disgust at Sullivan's deeply ugly online history. The corporation liaised with WWE, who responded by fining the performer an eye-watering £100,000 and ordering him to undergo sensitivity training.
Sullivan apologised, received the backing of Titus O'Neill, and the furore dissipated - but the stench lingered, as did various inconclusive conversations about a person's capacity to change and whatnot, not that that matters, because Vince was always going to push him regardless.
As it transpired, Vince did not push Lars effectively at all, restoring a rare karmic balance.
