Maybe he needs pyro for his entrance, is it me or does it sound like WWE pipes in some cheers for him? Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know, but they need to have the guy talk a bit or something.
In OVW, Lashley seems more comfortable and shows more mannerisms and actually has some sort of a personality, while it's not much, it's better than what we've been seeing on Smackdown recently.

He's only said maybe...3 sentences on the mic and he completely turned me away. He is horrendous on the mic and it doesn't seem that he has much going for him aside from his look. I think they should establish him as a solid babyface and then have him shockingly turn heel. I think he'd have a better run toward the top of the card if he was a monster heel.

Lashley is the future in my opinion. When Batista can't go any more in a few years, then Lashley will step up.

Lashley sucks.
But that can be changed. Will it happen? I dunno.
I just hate seeing Burchill job to this guy.

I hate to say it but I don't know if Vince will go with a black champ that isn't MAJORLY over. Booker never got a shot with the gold. Don't mention The Rock, he is only half black and has a generic ethnic look. Rock was also insanely over, I don't know if Lashley can get that kind of love out of fans. I think Benjamin has way more potential, hopefully I'm wrong and Vince will give him a shot to run with the ball.

So far, he hasn't impressed me much. However, he was an incredible amateur wrestler, so I'm not prepared to write him off immediately.

It's not "Bobby Lashley", mate. It's just "Lashley".
NO "BOBBY"!!!
THERE NEVER WAS A "BOBBY"!!!
JUST LIKE HEIDENREICH WAS NEVER NAMED "JOHN"!!!
Anyways, what's this about?
*Looks at the title*
Ohh...ha ha.
No.

Id like to think that race has little to do with it. After all RAW has a black champ now right?
Honestly though, theres a stereotype for virtually every race in the WWE and if you can either run with it like Austin, JBL, Guerrero, Yoko or you can break out of it like Corny White Dude Angle or NOD Rock. If you can do either of those things han youre gonna start bringing in the checks and theyd be fools to turn you down. Money is money and theres been too many non-white champs to say that race is the reason that Trevor Murdoch is going to be champ before Bobby Lashley.
Also I think that Lashley's baby-face and high pitched voice are cute.....

I see him as the future too...But he just needs that extra ermmm 'ZING' to his character. Maybe if he turned heel and feuded with the Taker, ultimately defeating him.

I'm trying really hard to like Lashley, he just doesn't have "it". He's a great wrestler, but he looks bored as hell in the ring. Goldberg didn't talk either, but he had charisma. Right now I would rather watch Monty Brown or Ahmed Johnson.

Lashley is more boring than the early Batista.
Big Dave had Flair and Triple H as tutors, and he developed into a fairly good Champion.
Lashley needs DESPERATELY a mentor or a rival to be "made". Problem is: who on SD! can turn this boring guy into a credible threat?
