Just catching up to this Lars stuff. Titus O'Neil playfully jostles Vince and gets suspended for 60 days. Lars in his mid twenties tweets out racist and homophobic diabtribes and nothing. I don't know if this warrants a firing but doing nothing is such a bad look. It's clear this guy needs mental help and not a main event Push. I don't think he ever recovers from this.

They are just words on a message board i wouldn't take anything seriously to heart nobody should.

Plus it fits his character perfectly - A guy who is stupid but also doesn't give **** who you are.


People who care about this story will dislike him even more.


Edit: Some of it really bad which probably explains the mental issues he's had earlier this year where he's been apparently out of action.

Unless his character is a racist a-hole, I'm not sure this fits.

He said some pretty stupid stuff for sure if true.
Apparently WWE has known about this for a while now - I don’t think anything happens.
People keep bringing up Hogan as a comparable only difference is Hogan was on tape - pics on a forum doesn’t prove anything 100% even though it seems likely.
My guess is they deny or let this story die without saying anything.

If you have an account on the bodybuilding.com forum, you're immediately suspect.

If you post on the bodybuilding.com forum, you're probably a bad person.

I mean, yes it does prove something. He posted pictures of himself on that forum. It's him. They're posts from years ago, unedited. Don't quite understand why you think it doesn't prove anything? Very odd to say. It's like, if you were posting racist/homophobic/etc comments here and I screenshotted them, then you made it big...it doesn't mean you never said that stuff. You certainly did, lol.

People are saying that the reason he initially had his panic attacks at the start of the year, is because of the story breaking out about all of this. Then once he finally made his debut, it's happening again. Plus, he issued a half assed statement saying, sorry those comments don't reflect my current views. BS buddy.

Action has to be taken against Lars. Titus getting suspended for 60 days for a playful shove was BS. Lio Rush getting pulled from TV because he's doing a few things that upset people and speaking out on issues in the locker room, BS. Literal proof that Lars is a **** person and nothing? Not good at all. I hope the internet keeps pushing this down their throats.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."

Mistake from Lars if he apologize thus admitting it was him ( didn't know that) Anyways pictures doesn't prove anything 100% that's false. Joe blow on realgm could have been that username and posted amateur pictures of Lars. What's stopping some random goof from joining that crap site and saying stupid **** and posting amateur pictures of some upcoming wrestler only to screw that person over down the road?

Obviously unlikely but pictures posted years ago doesn't prove anything clear cut ..

If it turns out to be Lars (obviously apologizing admits guilt) he should be suspended or released but we know the WWE has invested lots into him so don't think it will be a harsh punishment.

With regards to Titus and Rush, Vince doesn't give a crap about plugs so he'll discipline them for w/e reasons.

If he's big on you it seems that guys can get away with almost anything.

Recent examples:
Look at Lars so far
One of the Usos could have killed many innocent people while drinking and driving recently - Nothing happened.

When you own your own business you can do what you want and the fans have no say besides to stop watching or purchasing merch and we know that's not going to happen anytime soon.

I don't really care what Lars said years ago. People post crap on the internet all the time and they don't always mean/believe what they write. That is what trolling is. I'd feel a little differently if he was doing it now or maybe acted out on these thoughts. As far as I know he hasn't, plus he apologized. For me that's enough.

Nah, that's not enough. He needs an actual punishment instead of a slap on the wrist. That type of behavior isn't acceptable. At all. Ever. Trolling included.

Random but the fourm that Lars put all his stupid rants on is the same forum that my wife's exhubsand also posted a bunch of stupid **** on, which led to their divorce. Small world.

Outside of 4chan, 78% of the internet's garbage come from that forum.

I do assume he was just being a edgelord. I agree that most of us, at some point in our lives, have tried to pop our friend group by intentionally saying the most **** up thing possible. I'm not totally comfortable with digging that **** up and trying to expose people publicly.

Pretty cool theory I seen about Bray Wyatt:

Bray is targetting Daniel Bryan. The Firefly Fun House is a kids show so Birdie Danielson will watch it.

Whoever conceived of and put together that Tom Magee doc for the network needs a contract extension and a raise.

Like most wrestling fans, I'd read about the match and the legend of Tom Magee a bunch of times. After seeing the match, it's no surprise that Vince thought he was going to be a huge deal. Paradoxically, I think WWF was the worst place he could have landed. He would ultimately be compared to Hogan no matter what he did, and would need to carry shows by himself, as a babyface. It seems weird, but I think he could have been a thing with Crockett. Imagine putting him into a feud with Flair where all he has to do is stomp around, do flips and throw Flair from one side of the ring to the other. It could have worked, at least for 6 months or something. it worked with Luger.

Bunch of things:

- Harry Smith's Bret impression is predictably great.
- Harry Smith's Canadian accent is jarring as ****. First of all, he looks identical to his father, who I'm used to hearing with an insane Manchester accent. Second, that particular Canadian accent is pervasive across the entire country, but not characteristic of all (or even most) Canadians. When I was in Alberta, I'd hear it. When I came home to Nova Scotia, I'd hear it. It's everywhere, and I have no clue how to explain it. Someone needs to get John McWhorter on this.
- Bret Hart: amazing, obviously.
- Heenan and Monsoon: amazing, obviously.
- Tom Magee was just way too Canadian to make it as a top babyface for Vince. The hair and the goofy face and mannerisms were too much. Kenny Omega would have the same problem if he wasn't such a weeb.
- Crazy that Magee had no idea how the office felt about him. I feel like he may have tried a little harder if he wasn't so oblivious. I wish we could have gotten more info on what he was thinking during that time. The doc made it seem like he was happy enough to have a nice match and a chance.

If you haven't checked it out, I would recommend it. It's very good, and short.
