Gotta believe this is gonna affect his push. They'll have a problem if he has an anxiety attack mid match or has to bail from a marquee match and leave em short. Of course it is. They aren't gonna put much faith in a guy they can't depend upon. If he has some anxiety attack before WrestleMania or something, then what? This guy has sealed his fate already. Which sadly isn't something he seems to have much control over. Mental health issues suck.

This is exactly why most of us on this message board are not adult film stars. It's easy to watch the product and critique, but when the lights are on and you have to perform on demand...sorry getting flashbacks. Yes, yes... the anxiety. That's why. Yep. No other reason at all.

Didn’t the same thing pretty much happen to Kevin Fertig?
Was supposed to feud with The Undertaker right off the bat and had cold feet.

I don't suffer with anxiety but I can imagine that going from an NXT rookie never won a title or any major matches going into wrestlemania to face a 16 time world champion would be a lot of pressure, no wonder he cracked. Hopefully they can break him in gently and build him up

No, apparently Fertig had gotten involved in a bar fight during the time, and it resulted in a lawsuit being filed, and that was the nail in the coffin for Mordecai.

I thought it was reported that his first feud (segments building to it) was supposed to be Undertaker, but the idea was scrapped due to Fertig not feeling he was ready at the time? They then tossed up a few matches and then pulled the plug. I dunno. I wasn’t there. Hahaha

He felt the Mordeci character wasn’t built up enough and wasn’t ready to just go straight into a feud with the Undertaker. Pretty sure he says it in an interview too

Pretty sure he says it in an interview too www.si.com/extra-mustard/2017/06/28/wwe-mordecai-kevin-fertig-vince-mcmahonAccording to him it was the bar fight/lawsuit that derailed the feud and the character in general.

Sounds like he wasn't prepared for everything all at once.
I feel for him.

I’ve been there to a degree. my music was really taking off at a point in my life where I wasn’t ready for it, so I kind understand how anxiety can derail you from your path despite how deadset you are.
if this is what’s happening, hopefully he can find a way to recover from it.

I can give you a reason why Im not in that industry but anxiety isn't it. You’d be surprised when there’s a guy with a camera draped over you like a cheap suit while you are trying to do the dew. And the stop start and having to do a certain thing that happens on demand. But I’m sure you’re right, there are thousands of men who do what those guys do. Haha.

For anyone who feels sorry for Lars, he posted this 6 years ago. I love the taste of irony in the morning. And yes, that is confirmed to be his account.

As someone with an anxiety disorder I can completely relate. However, I've always found that you need to push through the panic and get on with it otherwise it will have a firm grip on that part of your life forever. Lars needs to force himself into the arena, wrestle the match and hate every minute of it if he ever wants to feel good about it again. Just my opinion based on my experience; I appreciate everyone's different.

Who knew WF had so many mental health professionals on board?
Inferring that Lars doesn't belong in this profession if he suffers from anxiety, at best, relies heavily on a great deal of conjecture, and at worst, demonstrates a marked lack of understanding as to how anxiety works.

It’s kind of dumb to speculate on this with as little information as there is on it. Maybe his mom died, or his aunt got diagnosed with cancer, so he had anxiety at a taping and went home for a bit. Maybe WWE is totally cool with it. Maybe they pushed his debut back a bit because he has some personal stuff going on.
Stop assuming a bunch of crap that no one really knows.

Not only did we get an entire post based on assumptions and rumors. Now we have *CREDITED rumors that we're supposed to 100% believe bc someone said so. This place is turning into CNN.
