Despite his checkered past, the WWE in general and Vince McMahon in particular continued to see him as someone they could make money off. In reality however, Sullivan had begun to crumble under the pressure and his firing, to many backstage, was not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’.
How did Vince McMahon react to Lars Sullivan’s homoerotic past in the adult industry?
Sullivan’s homophobic and racist rants on a bodybuilding forum years back was met with a $100,000 fine from the WWE. Surprisingly, it later emerged that he had featured in a homoerotic adult movie. According to Fightful Select, Vince McMahon wouldn’t see the Freak the same after the movies surfaced.
“Wrestlers told us that there was no way Vince McMahon would look at him the same again after the video released,” the report read. “Sullivan had been a favorite of McMahon’s upon his call-up in 2019.”
It remains to be seen what lies in the future for Lars Sullivan. He has began to reappear on social media through workout videos of his own.
