    He's a good worker who lacks charisma and mic skills. His ideal role would have been as a bad-*** monster who had a mouthpiece, but since the WWE doesn't believe in managers anymore, that really isn't an option. Without a manager, he's a solid upper-midcard talent who can put on a good match...but he's easily forgotten about when he wasn't around(I mean, has ANYONE missed him since he got hurt?).


    It should be interesting to see if he jumps to TNA or if he follows Lesnar's footsteps.
    Truthfully I had completely forgotten about him. His injury couldn't have come at a worse time for him. I think if he never got hurt he's still in the Main Event picture, but alas he gets hurt and no one ever remembers he existed.

        Bobby Lashley gone from WWE



        It seems that someone pissed him off. So, you know where I hope he goes but if he does go MMA, then more power to him.

          I'd love to see him work in MMA. WWE is stale and is not attracting nearly as large of a viewership as it once did, while MMA is growing as a legitimate sport. Of course, he'll have to get natural again and regain mobility to have any shot of success in MMA.
          Been gaming since the Atari 2600, and hells no I won't stop!!!

            Kind of surprised, but at the same time kind of happy. I didn't really like him in the role they had him.

              Meh, who cares. He had no mic skills, and didn't look like they were improving in the slightest.

                That's the problem with wrestling fans today,if the guy can't talk on the mic,he isn't any good.

                  Well if you're going to make it in the E, you have to make the fans care somehow. He didn't have any mic skills to support his character, and while he had a little natural charisma, it wasn't enough to make people care. And admittedly, his wrestling skills were slightly overrated as well. He worked the same match every week, start off dominating, then run shoulder first into the ring post causing his opponent to work on his shoulder for the vast majority of the match, and then make his comeback in the end for the win(with the exception of his squash wins of course, which were just that, squashes).

                  Hell, think about what his character was...a huge monster athlete...with a soft heart. WTF?

                  There was nothing special about the guy to make him stand out. Which is why most people forgot he existed when he went on the injured list.


                  You can get away with having a bland character in the indys, but once you get to the big time, you have to have something that separates you from the rest. If people just wanted to see two guys fight, they'd watch the real stuff

                      He's a straight up clown if this is true. Wait, maybe not a clown...a straight up whinny bitch. WAAAAAHHHH Vince didn't call me enough. WAAAAAAH. The world by the balls and he leaves. No wonder people were calling him Black Lesnar when he first started.

                                I assume you meant "wasn't". In that case, I agree with this post 110%. Well, maybe not, because I'd replace "good athlete" with "great athlete". lol

                                He improved so much during his time. Legit athlete with the credentials and the best physique in wrestling history (how he got it doesn't matter to me). Only thing that wasn't up to par was his selling, and even that was coming around.

                                Yup, I was a Lashley fan.
