Once upon a time, Lars Sullivan was one of the biggest stars in the WWE, raking in $500,000 a year to prance around the ring in little red shorts. But after a series of back-to-back scandals, including a gay-for-pay adult video leak, he has now resorted to peddling autographs at a memorabilia store at a strip mall in Queens, New York to make ends meet.
The Wrestling Universe Store, located between a Dollar Tree and a barber shop, just announced that Sullivan will be stopping by for two hours on May 8 to greet fans and sign autographs. It will be his first public appearance since being let go from the WWE in January for purportedly not showing up for tapings.
Fans can snap a selfie with Sullivan for $20, or have him autograph one item (but only one!) for $20. Big spenders can buy a combo pack, which includes a photo and an autograph, for $30. And any additional autographs are $15.
The event page also notes: “SORRY but no refunds on tickets if the talent appears at the event.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In addition to his little meet-and-greet, Sullivan has launched a Cameo account under his real name, Dylan Miley, where he makes personalized videos for $40 and sends DMs for $9.99.
In 2019, Sullivan was exposed for posting dozens of racist, sexist, and homophobic remarks on an online message board at BodyBuilding.com over a seven year period. The posts included attacks against drag queens, “manly” women, feminine guys, and closeted men.
Shortly after the posts resurfaced, so did an old clip of Sullivan appearing as “Mitch Bennett” in a Randy Blue film. Viewers quickly identified Sullivan by the tattoo on his arm. You can see a work-friendly preview of that here–Sullivan is on the left:

Peddling autographs for $20 is a far, far cry from the half a mil 32-year-old Sullivan used to make just a couple of years ago, but we suppose a guy’s gotta eat, especially when he’s 6’3 and weighs 330 pounds.

I guess he’s gonna go hungry, Who’s gonna pay for his autograph. No one is going to remember him in 20 years.
SFMike
Next step is to run for congress as a Trump Republican and join the seditionist gravy train.
HenryHawke
You’ve got that right. His own hypocrisy will fit very nicely with the rest of the Republinazis.
Donston
Might as well just start an OnlyFans and charge people $40 for butt shots like everyone else. Or become a preacher.
HenryHawke
Actually becoming a Bible thumper is a good idea. He’s got the gay for pay thing to “repent” for. If it works for Jerry Falwell, Jr., why not him?
LilMesican
Shame cause his first video was kinda hot before he starting hating and getting ugly.
RandomGuy
Um…Where can this video be found?
Malibu Eric
Google “Mitch Bennett Randy Blue” and you can see his videos and photos. These were clearly years ago. Aging is rough for homophobic closet cases. Whew!
Liquid Silver
Yeah, he was cuter back then but still, well. Apparently he had five years of being a 6.5 or so. 🙂
ShiningSex
He’s ugly. BTW, there’s no such thing as “gay for pay”. It’s called bisexuality.
NO truly straight man would do it. Gay for pay is an excuse for bi men to get some action without feeling “guilty” about it which is stupid way to feel to begin with. Anyone who is into “gay for pay” is a moron too.
Donston
I honestly think believing a guy can’t sexually engage with another guy while being heterosexual is inherently homophobic. Being heterosexual or “straight” doesn’t mean that you’re grossed out by dudes. Hell, some guys would really fvck anything. It has nothing to do with attractions, desires or passions. While if it wasn’t for male homophobic, toxic masculinity and being worried about “labels”, more “straight” and heterosexual men would be willing to sexually engage with their sex, especially for money.
Things do however tend to be more complicated. Fluidity, fetishes, paraphiliacs, hyper-sexuality, plain denial, or complexities as far as the gender, romantic, sexual, affection, emotional, commitment spectrum do tend to be at play. While the promotion of supposed “gay4pay” and “straight” guys getting it on with dudes, it needs to die. However, in order for that to happen a lot of “queers” would have to move on from their “straight” fantasies. Publications would have to stop using “straight” and “gay4pay” for clicks and views. And we’d have to place less weight on identities and sexual behaviors and start looking at people and their sexualities, orientations, dimensions and motivations individual things. But none of that is gonna happen any time soon. So, we’re gonna keep seeing “gay4pay” and “straight” talk and hype.
Cam
@Donston
Or, he’s bi.
Donston
I was responding to the idea that heterosexual males cannot sexually engage with the same sex and wouldn’t do it under any circumstances. I was also responding to the problematic nature of promoting and hyping “gay4pay” and “straight” guys sexually engaging with other guys
I now remember why I ignored you for a month and why I always have tried to ignore ShiningSex. Neither of you ever have anything to contribute or any insight on anything outside of shaming people and pushing identity politics.
Cam
@Donston
Yeah, I get it, you get enraged when there is the possibility of an answer that doesn’t require 15 paragraphs.
Your response was to a comment saying this guy is probably bi.
But please, by all means, pontificate all you want to avoid that simple possibility. A completely hetero guy is less likely to have that rabid hemophobia behavior than a closet case is.
Liquid Silver
@Donston
Or, again, without the pointless pontificating…he’s carrying a load of internalized homophobia and he’s at least bi.
throwaway82
Honestly Donson. It just sounds like you want to keep your masturbation gay for pay fantasies going so you are going through endless pontificating and dissecting things to the point of meaninglessness. Words mean things. He is at least bi. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Donston
Throwaway, I don’t have any “straight” guy fantasies or obsessions. If you’ve read my past posts you’d know this. That “straight” shit got lame to me by the time I was out of my teens. I do think it’s absurd to broadly claim a heterosexual and “straight” guy is completely incapable of sexually engaging with his sex. Y’all act like heterosexual and “straight” guys have to be grossed out by dudes. And unless you’re grossed out, you’re probably capable of sexually engaging, even if there’s no attractions or desires or even enjoyment there. It’s basic ass common sense. However, I’m pretty sure I said that most of these “gay4pay” and “straight” guys who sexually engage with men have some type of sexual dimensions or paraphiliacs at the very least/are not entirely hetero when it comes to the romantic, sexual, affection, emotional, commitment spectrum. I also said that the constant promotion of “gay4pay” and “straight” identifying guys who sexually engage with men is problematic and needs to halt. Did y’all just not read any of that? Or did y’all choose to gloss over that so you could hate?
Y’all can try to force me to be basic, but I’mma continue being thorough with my shit and dissect shit to the fullest and look at all the pieces and nuances. If that means shit becomes “meaningless” or you can’t comprehend or you’re just not comfortable with it, that’s not my problem.
Liquid Silver
No, we just find it pretentious pseudo-intellectualizing.
Heywood Jablowme
@Donston: Looks like you’ll need to dumb it down to an 8th grade reading level, prof. This ain’t the NYRB or Harper’s!
Donston
Liquid Silver, what you really mean is that y’all are intimidated by any form of intellectualism, especially if you don’t entirely agree with the perspective. And y’all don’t like my obsession with looking beyond identities and/or behaviors. Once again, this isn’t my problem.
HJ, I pretty much find it funny at the point. It doesn’t sway me, because the people that get aggy tend to be the lamest, most basic and/or most needlessly most bitchy posters. I’ve tired my best to not engage with either Cam or Liquid Silver in recent weeks. But they keep having something to say. It’s funny.
Kevan1
Ugly loser.
Troyfight
Saw a few of his scenes when this news broke a few years ago. Honestly, looked like he was enjoying it. As Liquid Silver’s ejaculation said, he’s at least bi.
Liquid Silver
That was barely a dribble.
Gadfeal
What I notice is that people who come from modest backgrounds who then make a lot of money, knowing that the “gig” is for under 10 years, don’t put aside for their future. LeBron James is exceptional in that he manages his “persona” like an enterprise with a group of people, so, he’ll be making a lot more money, and making a difference, long after his knees and eyesight can no longer keep him at peak sports levels.

Self hate is a hell of a thing.

What a tragically flaw person. Ugly porn star. Gay for pay republican. Professional wrestler all by it self. How many bad choices can one person make?

Who cares. Scott Rudin is threatening staff with baked potatoes. Cover gay advisers or shut up
