I don't really dislike Lashley, I didn't really have a real opinion of him on SD! either as I didn't feel like I saw enough of him to judge yet, he's just not world title or main event material right now

Though I will say, I'd take Lashley over Batista any day. True. At least Lashley is young, better in the ring (for a given amount of 'better') and doesn't tear his bicep when opening a Pepsi. Honestly, Lashley isn't even bad as a power wrestler. He seems very strong and can move around pretty well, though I prefer Cena's feats of strength because I know he's a legitimate power lifter. It's too bad that Lashley is just so damn boring.I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Test has more charisma than poor Lashley.

Yeah, I don't think Lashley is a bad wrestler. I don't look at him the same way I do Cena and Batista. I just look at him and laugh at the thought of him being World Champion right now. Plus that crowd reaction he was getting isn't exactly as solid as it was a bit ago. It was there, but he wasn't exactly thrilling the crowd on WWECW.

Guys like this shouldn't be champions of anything. I mentally compare them to men like Danielson and Joe, and the disparity is astounding. The WWE Champions have 'the look', but everything else doesn't even come close.

Honestly, RVD or Punk should be champ. They are the most over guys in ECW, like them or not. That and both are different from the norm when it comes to the other WWE Champs. Oh..silly me..ECW isn't really a third brand so that shouldn't matter. And RVD is leaving soon. And Punk's in the dog house for pimp smacking Arn Anderson.

Right after they had an interview with Maria saying that she was single and would have sex with any man that bought the most John Cena merch.

i listened to an interview with heyman right before they sent him home saying that lashley has a small MMA background. moreless he knows how to work the strong style, and that WWE doesn't want him to work it because it would ruin his super babyface style character. apprently he knows some gracie jiu-jitsu, and has a very skilled ameuter background.
i just wish they would let him do that, and i believe their starting to let him by letting him do t-bones and stuff.

See this can't happen cause then he may have a chance of standing out, and possibly being interesting.

WWE loves playing up weaknesses and hiding strengths. How frustrating is that too? It's like they do it on purpose. Cena isn't a good wrestler....OK! Let's let him brawl twice a year and have him wrestle Jericho and Angle. Lashley needs some work ..... lets take him away from Booker and Finlay and make him Champion!

Lashley is terrible on the microphone. Weekly interviews and vignettes! C.M. Punk excels with a variety of holds and submissions. Let's give him a gimmick where he kicks and knees guys a lot! Batista ... let's give him the belt!

Is that a joke? Lashley and his failings have nothing to do with skin pigment, its to do with his Bastion Booger style skills.

After seeing his vignette last ECW, it is very hard hating him now. WWE should just move him back to Smackdown and work around that vignette. He could get over with it imo. I should stop with the Lashley teasing myself, especially removing my lashley sig where he is all roided up(moreso ).
