All that written in the EC3 slide aside, booking a destroyer is as simple as the answer to the question Is Roman Reigns going to get the f*ck booed out of him at the Barclays Center?

WWE needs to learn lessons, already, from the Authors of Pain. Those lessons are: throw hapless skinny wimps at the big powerful men, on a weekly basis so that we don't think of them as unimportant, and have those big powerful men beat the ever-loving sh*t out of the wimps to satisfy our craven, vicarious bloodlust.

To build Lars Sullivan as the monster he so obviously is - he looks like one, which should help but is no guarantee of it - simply throw skinny wimps at the big powerful man, on a weekly basis so that we don't think of him as unimportant, and have that big powerful man beat the ever-loving sh*t out of the wimps to satisfy our craven, vicarious bloodlust. Lars did this to great effect before the main event-level match duration exposed him at TakeOver: Chicago, and though a man of his proportions may fare better under the watchful, leering eye of the size-obsessed Vince McMahon, he must be maintained gradually as a monster.

He must be sharpened by the more strenuous main roster touring circuit before being tasked with another feature bout beyond his current level of experience.
