So, there have been some fairly negative reactions so far to Eric Young becoming TNA world heavyweight champion. I think it's more the circumstances rather than the fact that he is champion, though. Some people are happy to see him win the title, I think others feel it's something of a rip-off of the Daniel Bryan scenario. I'm really sort of indifferent to the whole thing. What about if TNA decided to give the world title to say....BOBBY LASHLEY!!! Hmmmm, what do you think? Lashley wins the gauntlet match and the same scenario occurs. He Goldbergs his way to become champ. How would the lot of you all feel?

Would've justified all the Batista comparisons and resulted in the exact same backlash.
As for my own response, instead of being in the pleased camp, I would've been pissed off.

The closest Lashley should get to the world title is if he became the champion's enforcer/body guard. Lashley is terrible on the mic and TNA doesn't have any managers that can speak for him.
I've never seen passion for wrestling from him and I'm pretty sure he'll disappear again soon.

Wouldn't hurt them. Wouldn't benefit them either.
It really doesn't matter, they'll still get the same ratings.

It would be a large improvement over Eric Young and Magnus.

Doesn't matter in the slightest. They could put the belt on Dixie Carter and it wouldn't make a difference.

Honestly he still is owed a title match from a long time ago so it wouldn't surprise me

I prefer my Mountain Dew non diet. I much rather prefer sweet tea with lemon.
Putting the belt on Lashley is like saying f*** it. And TNA been giving out a number of f*** it title runs. One more won't matter.

The title of this thread should be "how will you feel when Lashley wins the title?"
No "if" about it sadly imo.

It's funny. If you asked me who I would rather watch on TV, Bobby Lashley or Eric Young, 99 times out of 100 I'd say Young. But if you asked me who I would rather see as TNA World Champ, then yeah, I'd have to go with Lashley.

I don't even know how I'd feel, to be honest. I find Bobby a bit underrated as a worker but he can't talk and TNA has no managers.

Whatever happened to him? He returned at Lockdown, right? Where is he now?

Bobby would dominate the "Meh" meter. That said, I don't think it would actually hurt anything unless they try to create BOBBYMANIA or some other bullshit

Everyone in TNA feels like they have roughly the same amount of credibility these days. I wouldn't react if Jessie Godderz became World Champ at this rate.
