Not yet. But I also agree with what others, say, he should either be in Smackdown! or Raw.

Nope, he's still boring in the ring and is a charisma vaccuum. WWE shoving all-things-Lashley down our throat doesn't help matters, either. WWE needs to build some credibility for the ECW Title instead of just handing it to people that don't deserve a "World" title.

I've disliked him from day 1, he does absolutely nothing to impress me. And the fact the announcers put him over like he's the greatest adds to boredom I feel. Isn't that their damn job!? How bout calling the action and stop over-analyzing the obvious as if that's going to make me like the guy better if he punches "super hard".

He needs a mouthpiece and he needs to go heel. I guarantee you that would be an overnight reversal of him. He's the perfect silent monster heel.

I'd rather watch that than a Johnny Nitro promo I mean this in the kindness way possible, but you're clearly insane.

I'm in two minds now about this dude.
For some reason, I kinda like him.
He has potential if they handle things properly.
So I'll try and help.
Bobby Lashley
Problems
1- Too generic 2- No charisma 3- Limited ability
Solutions
1- Give him some kind of gimmick, even if it's just a logo. I would suggest using the imagery relating to the mythic figure "Atlas" (a muscular man holding the world on his shoulders). Put that on his trunks and some black t-shirts. Use his full name too. Announce him as "Bobby Lashley". I'm sick of mononames.
2- The tried and tested "manager" figure to speak for him.
3- Hide his weaknesses. Place him in relatively short matches. Put him in there with guys who can carry him to a decent match with simple power moves. More weapons and "hardcore" matches, so he won't have to worry about technical moves.

He kept Hardcore Holly from winning a major title on my home turf, so he's okay by me.
I never had a problem with him. I don't think he has limited abilities, as he has an extensive amateur background plus military experience. His mic skills aren't that great, but I can overlook bad mic skills if someone can wrestle well enough.

I'd like to see them play up this "softly spoken" thing too.
We can see Lashley backstage wearing spectacles and reading newspapers, then when they say "hey man, your match is up" he will take off his glasses and his face will get really serious.

I voted, "Yes, Totally", but, I'm more or less a mark, so my opinion doesn't count apparently

Diving through a cage does not make a wrestler cool. Especially in ECW wherethat kind of thing should be happening every week. (Stupid wwe)

As soon as he prevents the world from being taken over by Zuul, he'll be cool in my book.
Until then, no. Rhyno and Big Show knock down cage walls too. Didn't make them cool. They were cool by themselves.

It was a good spot. But he's got an upwards climb that only a well-booked feud where he doesn't steamroll his opposition can fix.
And the chances of seeing that before Extreme Nitro is cancelled are slim to f***-all.

I guess I don't get what was so impressive about it. It seems counter intuitive. It's a steel cage match, the whole point is that you cant leave.
If they're trying to say he's so strong he can break a steel cage.... I'm not buying it. Steel cage matches are also supposed to be feud enders. The entire match was made for a high spot that didn't even involve his opponent.
Now... had Lashley speared Umaga through the cage... that would have been been plausible. This spot doesn't do it for me.

No, bumping the WWF's light plastic "safety cage" into generic samoan #12 does not make you cool.
