Bobby Lashley

[Reptile]

he gon make it in the wwe ?

i think of him as the black lesnar....haha


just needs the right push / angel / or storyline or whatever......an he could be the next big thing lol


what yall think ?

 

[Cheaptimes]

I think if they give him a slow proper push, they wont have the same problems they had with lesnar.

 

[Smitty]

If he learns how to be more smooth in the ring, he'll do alright. Otherwise he's going to be the black Goldberg, and get someone hurt. Reptile was right though, Brock Lesnar was pretty good at that too lol.

 

[timdown]

if they gave him a manager he wouldnt need mic skills for a while, brock was a huge star before he opened his mouth cuz they had heyman doing his talking for him. They could also put him in a group, like how randy orton started in evolution

 

[X MAN]

Lashley is tite...I think that guys is bigger than Brock by 10 or more pounds...if he gets in the us title hunt with benoit he could show off his college wrestling and power like Brockle Snar

 

[Darkshowdown]

he has no mic skills at this point and WWE always stresses cuttin good promos

Do you think Lesner and Goldberg had good mic skills? Hell naw

 

[GHP]

the biggest stars always start as heels, he needs to turn and quick and go to Raw. And youre right, he needs a manager

 

[Darkshowdown]

no, they didnt. But they were forced to start talkin cuz WWE management wanted them to and thats when their careers went downhill. They dont understand that some wrestlers are better off saying nothing

I agree


I remeber when Edge and Christian wouldnt talk when they first came out. And now they are the shit on the mic

 

[GHP]

^so true, they both had way different gimmicks when they first got started

 

[timdown]

they should just call him brock lesnar, and have him come out to a rap version of brocks song

 

[STICK]

Haha, I call him Black Lesnar.


I wasn't feelin him when he first debuted, but as I've seen more and more of him, and his matches have grown in length, as opposed to the squash matches he was havin, I've started to like him. From what I've seen, he's been impressing me in the ring.


I would also like to disagree that near the end of Brock's WWE tenure, his promos were great. I liked it when Heyman was his mouthpiece, but Brock was getting comfortable in cuttin promos and I enjoyed them fully.

 

[Reptile]

yea i think he needs to go to raw an tear fools up like brock did....i know that would work an maybe even give him heyman

he could make it...an he should...dude is sav

 

[King Spadez]

Mic skills can take years to develop. The Rock use to be ass on the mic and now he's one of the best ever.

 

[timdown]

where do you guys think hell end up at wm22? i was thinkin hes gotta win money in the bank

 

[Cheaptimes]

is that lumber jack match still for a MITB spot?

 

[Masked Lemon]

Yeah, they're doing MITB again at WM, but I think that RVD or Ric Flair is going to win that shit, Lashley isn't ready for a World Title shot yet...

rvd would make a lot of sense i guess, but they never give him the push he deserves. i really don't see flair as a champion anymore, the thing is, edge took like 7 months to take his mitb match, id say lashley would be ready in a year. When Batista won the rumble no one thought he could contend, but he made a great champ

 

[HERESY]

If ANYONE should turn heel it should be................RVD. People watch RVD because of his high flying skills so the interest is already present. Make him turn heel and have him start smashing on the fans and saying when he was hurt they never wrote him, they never gave a damn about him, etc. Have him start sayin shit about him doing it for the fans but all it got him was a broken neck (or whatever injury he had.) He wa sa heel before (his ecw days) and he would make a good heel now.

Have you guys noticed that the wwe simply rehashes old product/gimmicks?

iron sheik = hassan
razor ramon = carlito
ahmed johnson = lashley
the narcissist = chris masters
the genius = the harvard grad (chris nowinski?)
body donas = simon dean

Its not just in WWE, its all over the indy scene. And expect to see more like it in the future. Wrestling from the entertainment perspective is a mirror image on society. It requires rasicsm, homophobia, vanity, pride, heros, villians and monsters, sexism and economics, politics and classism.
These are all just formulas for telling a story. They're all very basic and still cut straight to the nerve of the audiance. The characters are all the same, its just a new person personifying the identity with a new name, or a new twist thanks to current events. If we were at war with the Mongolians, there would be a mongolian character, he would be the new hassan, and he would be Ghangas Khan'd the fuck out. Some charlie chan mulan type shit.
anywhoo, so yea its not a coincedence.
