10 Wild Outside Bets To Win WWE Royal Rumble 2021

6. Lars Sullivan

"My Lars is not an abuser. He may be a racist, an ableist, a homophobe, and a misogynist, but he is not a pervert."

- Vince McMahon

Pushed safely enough a month or so ago when so many more things were swept under the rug that he emerged on the other side of it - much like effluence following a bout of constipation - wide-ranging 2020 fatigue rendered it difficult to protest the inevitable. Vince McMahon was always going to strap the rocket to Lars Sullivan.

Like it.

Lump it.

Or simply watch one of the other, many professional wrestling companies that promote really good and deserving talent.

However, the other inevitable happened: Vince McMahon quickly gave up on him!

Lars Sullivan hasn't been seen in weeks. Plans changed, and if those two infamous words in sequence rankle with you, "Reintroducing a performer and then abandoning that plot development suddenly and entirely" isn't a real thing, or at least it isn't an effective idea any reasonably-minded person would devise. Of course the f*cking plan changed. Tucker turned on Otis the other month, and he didn't even cut an each and every one of you promo. The game's gone. It is gone.

Perhaps Lars hasn't quite nailed the correct, full-throated enunciation of "Freak" yet, and when he does, it's time for Drew McIntyre to get bullied just like Lars got bullied.

Or perhaps Vince has forgotten who he is.

Probability: 30%
