I too hate Lashley. WWE built up RVD for FIVE f***ing months to get the title back from the Big Show, and then Lashley whines about Michael Hayes, winds up on ECW, and then five f***ing months of buildup went right out the f***ing window.

For what it's worth, I hate his spear. Weakest. Spear. Ever. Eh. I still give that to Edge right now. Sometimes he looks like he just grabs someone a lays them down. See, I give that to Lashley because as such a big guy, his spear should just look that much better. I give Edge a little leeway because he's not a hulking brute like Rhino.

The other thing about him is they play up his amatuer background, but I never see him mat wrestle, ala Kurt Angle. The only connection to amatuer wrestling in his offense is some of the throws and suplexes and even they seem to be growing scarce.

Wow, 5 pages in 12 hours. Has Lashley overtaken Batista and Cena as most hated?

The thing I hate about Lashley is that he has a lot of untapped potential not being used. Sure he sucks on the mic but they should highlight his strengths. I mean the guy can't really do milatary presses, vertical suplexes and has no real trademark moves he could do something impressive if they wanted to. It just pisses me off that they do this. He will never get over the way they are building because you can this is not him and no one cares about his gimmick whatsoever.

To be fair Lashley is alot better than Batista. I remember during the fall people were actually cheering for Lashley over Batista. But yeah the hate is starting grow to close to the level of Cena hate in late 2005-fall of 2006.

I gave him a chance when he started out over on smackdown. However Lashley to me has turned into just another Lesnar, Batista or Goldberg ... yes there big power moves are cool, but that's about it. Not my cup of tea, I'd rather watch the Sandman cane another zombie. He should beat Snitsky and then drop the belt to the only one in ecw who deserves it. Tommy Dreamer. If they do end ECW, the only person who deserves to thold the title last is Dreamer. It may seem like a hollow sentiment to him, but he should be recognized as the last ECW champ.

Yeah I agree the last champ should be Tommy Dreamer that would be so awesome. I mean Bobby Lashley being ECW Champion just makes me sad. I mean look at people busted there asses (Douglas, Sabu, Tazz, Sandman, Funk, Bigelow, Rhino, and Big Show) to make that belt look good. Than you have someone like Lashley with the belt and it's just bad.

I hate'm he stanks! I thought he was okay at first, but he just never developed anything more then just being a big guy. Who is boring as all hell. Its ashame you think him once being a Army Ranger would of gave him a personality.

Lashley was loved?
I always thought he was dull. Me too. If they were looking to move a SD midcarder who gets good crowd reactions, I would have rather they moved over Matt Hardy. Don't start with me, I know that he isn't main event material per se, but they treat ECW like a glorified OVW anyways. Matt is no Rock on the mic, but he is no worse thatn Lashley, has great in-ring charisma, can work a better match, and can capture the crowds interest even when wrestling against permanent lower card guys like Sylvan. If he can make something like that more interesting than Lashley can a world title match, I think that speaks volumes about Lashley's capacity to carry a brand.

Benoit would have made a better choice than Lashley, at least he's actually been a World Champion before (at least that's the way JBL tells it).

I hate Lashley and I hate ALL roided up, no-talent hosses (Test, Snitsky, Botchtista) that are wasting space and taking up main event spots who could be given to guys with way more talent and bust their asses, only to be overlooked when a guy with huge muscles and pimples on his back signs a WWE contract.

I really can't imagine Lashley ever being an Army Ranger. I'm sure he was smaller back then, musculature-wise, but he doesn't seem to have the personality of a Ranger either. Remember, Saturn was a Ranger, too, and he had the demeanor and menace that guys like that can carry. I'll bet he was ribbed mercilessly by his teammates about his voice, too.

If Lashley doesn't lose the belt soon WWECW ratings are going subterranean.

It's sad that an army ranger that had a great personality, risked his life recently to help someone and was a great wrestler, Perry Saturn, got a mop and one that is bland, boring and pretty much has no charisma got a world title. Really sad!
I liked what RD said about Saturn he looked like serial killer that could have been awesome but he got moppy instead. i
