10 WWE Prospects Who Caused Their Own Downfall
These WWE prospects failed because of their own actions
1. Lars Sullivan
Looking as he did like an absolute monster, it was no major surprise to see Lars Sullivan receive a monster push upon his promotion from NXT to the main roster.
An initial debut (and rumoured match with John Cena) didn’t materialise because Sullivan suffered an anxiety attack and walked out of his scheduled Raw debut, but he returned several months later and began wrecking people left, right and centre.
Shortly into his main roster run, however, it came to light that Lars had years earlier posted racist, homophobic, sexist and all manner of otherwise derogatory posts via various accounts on a bodybuilding forum – some of which were directed towards WWE employees.
He apologised, but was ordered to undergo sensitivity training and fined $100,000.
Still, McMahon wasn’t about to give up on ‘The Freak’, who was brought back to television after recovering from a major knee injury. However, persistent anxiety issues ultimately led to his release.
