If this is true than that really sucks for him and I feel really sorry for the guy. Anxiety attacks are something I don't wish upon anybody and are not to be underestimated!
I hope that the WWE take this seriously and handle the situation the right way. I wonder how this will work out for him if this keeps being an issue with him. I don't know how young Sullivan is but the way I see it is that he seems to be very under pressure and maybe didn't think that he would rise up this fast and maybe he thinks he's not ready yet or feels like he would let the higher ups down or something, Idk...
Anyway, I hope he is alright, IF (a big IF) this turns out to be a true rumor.

That sucks. I've kinda gone back and forth on Lars. Right now, I find I'm not into him as much as I first was. Nevertheless, if he does, in fact, struggle with anxiety, that sucks immensely to have it interfere with such a rare opportunity. I've lived with a diagnosed DGAD for most of my life, and it can be downright crippling in the right scenario. I take the rumor mill with a heavy grain of salt, and I hope that, if the anxiety factor is in play here, it's a genuine issue that he and the company can come to an agreement in terms of coping with so that it's not a matter that need derail his career. I also take Lars with a grain of salt, and I hope that this isn't something he's copping, for whatever reason one might do such a thing. I don't know how young Sullivan is He's 30, 31 this summer.

This is an interesting one. Such a job as a WWE performer requires you to be ready to go and be comfortable "when the lights are on bright". He's been in developmental forever so maybe it's just a "it's finally happening" that's a shock to his system. I can relate, any big life changes are going to disrupt everything. Hope he goes alright but I don't think I want to see him vs. Cena at Mania though...

Mental illness is no joke. Hopefully it's something he takes care of and gets back on track. There's so many people out there who need help and don't realize it. Getting help and admitting there's an issue is okay and nothing to be embarrassed or ridiculed about. Hope everything works out

If true, then it’s onto the next one. It’s the wrestling business. It’s entertainment. You’ve gotta be ready when they need you.
He has no business in a Mania match this year anyway. Especially a high caliber one like that. This coming from a Lars fan.

Feel for the human being, that’s a crapty position to be in. He’s a about to get a push of a lifetime at Mania. But for the performer, he does nothing for me honestly. The whole unstoppable monster gimmick is boring and played out. It worked for Braun but they need a break from it.

Hope it works out for him.
That being said, a match between him and Cena does nothing for me. I say put Cena in there vs McIntyre or even Ambrose. An established top heel who needs a big WM win. Lars could simply win the ATGBR and have that as the catalyst for his push.

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.

Sucks if true and its a serious matter,but on the other hand putting in a position like this in terms of his debut on the main roster and first feud is going to be with John Cena.Who's one of the biggest stars in pro wrestling history and also having a match against him on the big stage possible at Wrestlemania would be a lot of stress on anyone to begin with.Hopefully things work themselfs out and maybe Lars should be eased into another feud and match with less pressure on him.
As far as in general a Cena/Lars feud doesn't do much for me and if Cena is going to work with some younger talent getting the call up from NXT much rather see him work a feud and match with EC3 or Velveteen Dream.While Lars should be feuding with Strowman.

I can fully relate to the anxiety issue. Def. not fun and hope he can get it worked out very soon with the push they most likely had planned out for him. If Vince is ready to strap a rocket to your back def. want to seize that opportunity while it lasts. Especially working for someone like Vince McMahon who I honestly couldn't see as the type of person being too understanding about someone having anxiety issues. And doesn't help much if you haven't had you debut on the main roster and don't have the type of clout of a John Cena. I mean, apparently Vince doesn't even believe in people getting a cold lol.

I think its time for someone to look for a new career path.

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.

It sucks for Lars if this is true. If he really is subject to anxiety and panic attacks that result in him leaving the arena and flying home then he is in the wrong profession. He seemed fine performing on NXT so maybe he can go back there and work on it while getting some care from mental health professionals. I really don't see the WWE giving him a serious push until he can prove he is over these issues. It's in nobody's best interest to force him into a spotlight he can't handle.
Of course, all of my oh so well informed analysis relies on the dirt sheets not making s*** up. Who knows? It could be a slow news day and when they threw a dart at the board it hit Lars' name.

Gotta agree. What happens if he wins the title? And main events a WM, it has to be in WWE's mind the "What if". What if he has an attack and goes home?

I think its time for someone to look for a new career path. Yeah, pro wrestling isnt for people with anxiety attacks. What is he going to be like when he is wrestling John Cena in front of 90,000 people?

I very much dislike Lars, but as someone who's suffered with anxiety most of my life and having had many attacks...I don't begrudge him for having to step away and take care of himself first.
Anxiety is a weird thing. It's not like he's not used to crowds. Literally anything can kick off an attack without warning.
Dont like him, but wish him well.
