It came as a surprise to the WWE Universe when the company announced that they had parted ways with Lars Sullivan. The Superstar had been heavily pushed before he disappeared from WWE shows ahead of being released by the company.
The reason for Lars Sullivan being released was his habit of no-showing events due to his anxiety issues. Reports also stated that Vince McMahon was high on the Superstar but had to let him go.

Kurt Angle explained on his podcast why Vince McMahon was such a big fan of Lars Sullivan. Angle said that Vince McMahon was mainly a big fan of Lars Sullivan's incredible physique, even if the former WWE star needed further training.
''Vince loved his look. Loved his strength and explosiveness. I just think that he wasn't as experienced as he could have been to start out. I think he needed a little bit more training, and he was still learning."
Kurt Angle also stated that he put Lars Sullivan over before leaving WWE so that the young Superstar could gain some momentum.
