LASHLEY = OVERRATED talking would ruin his character, kinda like goldberg I think I must have missed something. When did Lashley get character?

I don't think he'll be going quite as far as WWE Title anytime soon. US Champion maybe (regretably) but that's about all I can see for him.

Well, one thing he shouldn't do is start TALKING. He sounds like Mike Tyson, and is very uncomfortable on the mic. Maybe now that Bischoff isn't filling the GM role anymore, Lashley could have ol' Easy E be his mouthpiece? I think that could work.
As for his in-ring work, I have a feeling it's going to be another Batista-type thing; starts out boring, but could get pretty decent if he gets into a good feud and starts working with some skilled veterans.
However, he'll never be as over as Rock was, simply because he doesn't have that natural charisma.

Lashley? Lashley?
and he's on Smackdown, he'd be the Heavyweight champ.

Id like to think that race has little to do with it. After all RAW has a black champ now right? Zing!

Don't mention The Rock, he is only half black Uh what the f*** does that have to do with anything? He has black jeans in him, he is black. What the f*** is with THAT?

He has black jeans in him, he is black. Heheheh, "jeans". Lashley won't be champion unless they can find some reason for people to care about him. Too many people, like Lashley and pre-injury Kennedy, were floating around Smackdown with no feud to have.

I have a pair of black jeans, but no black shirt. I guess I'm half black too.
Lashley should've been brought in as a cold-blooded heal, like Samoa Joe. Now he's just generic face #147.

Actually last week he had fireworks.
I do think he should of been brought in as a heel just because then when he squashed London, Spanky, Scotty and Funaki over and over again it would make him get over as opposed to squashing Simon Dean, Regal, Burchill, Orlando, and Vito.
With the exception of Scotty/Nunzio the babyfaces would probably do a better job selling his moves than Orlando and Vito.
Am I the only one who calls him Lachey as opposed to Lashley?

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. Actually... last week on Smackdown when he came out, Chimmel called him BOBBY LASHLEY... But I like Lashley, I think he needs a manager and some matches with someone besides Nunzio/vito... if it wasn't a squash him vs Regal or Burchill would probably be good. But I've seen him go before down in OVW, and he's pretty damn good. HIm and Ken Doane had one of the better matches of the past year and with the right program I think he could get over in the E. But definately give him a manager, or someone to talk for him... because his voice will not get over LoL

One problem he's full on black.
he's not exotic looking like the rock.
and a Black world champion in WWE?
If he was as cool as either Ron Simmons or Ahmed Johnson were, i'd be all for it, but he just doesn't have that i'm a bad ass vibe

I don't know, I think Lashley is doing OK for herself. Yeah the Diva Search was bad, but she seems to have maintained a degree of popularity. She's obviously not as good as Trish, but maybe teaming her with Trish like they did last night will get her some experience.

Don't mention The Rock, he is only half black Uh what the criminey jeeze does that have to do with anything? He has black jeans in him, he is black. What the criminey jeeze is with THAT? I'm surprised that you don't get this. The lighter a black person is the more marketable they are. Some people would be more comfortable with their son or daughter with a poster of The Rock on the wall than a poster of Ron Killings. Because, The Rock is light and you could pass him off as another race and he looks non-threating.
