10 Mistakes WWE Made On Raw This Week (6 May 2019)

#8 Big, Strong, Underwhelming

Seen this before.

Lars Sullivan. This man is a 300-pound wrecking ball, as he destroys everything and everyone in his path. No one is really safe when the freak accident is looming but does anyone really care about who Lars is fed to every week?

People were saying for months that Lars is the next big thing in the WWE, as he was compared to legends such as Brock Lesnar, The Big Show and Mark Henry, but just because Lars is getting booked like '2003 Brock Lesnar', it sadly does not make him Brock Lesnar.

The hype around this man is slowly fading, and that is due to one thing; his predictable booking. We all know the drill by now. Lars shows up, beats his opponent up and proceeds to leave waiting for his next victim, but here's the thing; wrestling is more about how audiences connect to characters rather than how they react to them.

Furthermore, you can argue all day long that Lars is a fantastic athlete (which he is), a marvel to look behold, and the next big monster coming through WWE's ranks. However, if he is a monster with zero personality, WWE can just chuck him in the list with other failed monsters of the past like Vladimir Kozlov and Brodus Clay.

This week's booking of Lars was a clear indication of how far WWE is taking this man in the character department, as the freak accident came down to the ring to squash No Way Jose and his poor conga line for no reason whatsoever.

If the point of this entire beatdown was to imply what has been assumed over the last month, then this was a failure, as doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result is just insanity or it could be laziness by the writing department.
