Anybody like Lashley?

[hawkfan44]

even though he was rushed into the title I still like him. better than the other two champions we have

[MCCW > IWC*]

I find the Lashley bashing to be hilarious. Why? Because everybody loves to cry racism when minority wrestlers are given a gimmick yet here is Lashley, a black man getting pushed with basically no gimmick (other than being WWE's muscleman of 2007) and people are stil unhappy? Either way, some people will never be satisfied.

[salTy]

He completely sucks.

[emoney3265]

I like Lashley but he is so bland and predictable now. I liked US Champ Lashley... not mega powerhouse superman Lashley.

I like him a bit, I just don't like them forcing him on the fans like they have. Having said that, the hate here is WAY overboard.

How about it not having to do with race?

King Booker was champion and the majority of the board loved it. You know why? Because Booker doesn't suck. Don't try to bring the race card somewhere where it clearly doesn't belong.

Man thats lame. I know Lashley is black but at the same time I don't go ahead and say this guy sucks because he's black! I say he sucks because he sucks! I put him in the same group of people like Masters, Tomko, and Batista all guys who are just big and have no charisma and suck! Oh wait I'm a racist against filipinos and greeks because I don't like Batista? Thats idiotic! Also I'm a huge fan of Booker, Ron Killings, Shelton, Human Tornado and Jay Lethal. So yeah I'm not being racist!

[KingPopper]

It took a long while for me to even accept him on the roster, he just seemed like another OVW guy called up WAY to soon, where guys like Carlito or Lesnar just fit into the roster so well when they debute. Lashley just kinda showed up one day, and it was confusing why he was on team Smackdown at Survivor Series 05, considering he was only on the roster a month. Then he was in MitB 2, after doing a whole lot of nothing, besides a lackluster fued with Finlay.

Now it's gonna take even longer to accept him as champion.

[Ass Dan]

I am neutral twards him.

[MoleMan]

Seems like a decent guy, but man is he so green. He shoulda been wrestling 4+ years before givin' main event status.

Jay Lethal's black?

A real shocker, right? So is Charlie Haas, suprisingly.

[nisi]

Always thought he was dull, and the mega-push doesn't exactly make me like him more.

[cometfan1]

I like Lashley. I think the problem is in the brand he represents; ECW. I wasn't a real big folllower of the original ECW, but I realize a lot of people were. Lashley isn't anti-establishment enough for ECW. I know that this is not the old ECW, but with those three letters, there is a certain stigma that goes with it. I don't think it's Lashley's fault. He's doing the best he can. ECW just need some work.

[Garee]

I really don't. I can't really even make myself like him, and at times I can do that with Batista, so no.

Ditto! Lashley is a great worker that needs to switch brands and be depushed a tad, he hasn't earned his spot yet, but he'll get there. He really needs a heel turn and a mouthpiece, and he'd be perfect.

Everyone hating him makes me like him then when everyone likes him I'll say f*** lashley

[Dolph Zalgo]

I liked him as a solid midcarder, but I believe WWE is misusing him. Actually I have not been watching any wrestling for, like, the last 6-8 weeks, but from the results I read I get the impression they are building him up as a superman.

[The Spotlight]

Ya know.

I know Lashley could be pushed to the moon if they just played up his whiny voice and bad comebacks, just make them of comedy value and then have him follow up by literally wailing the piss out of whoever he is fighting and it would be golden.


Like he has an interview where he calls someone a "poo poo doo doo" and then he goes out and beats the ever living hell out of them, just make him kind of like an angle do gooder, but keep him a dominant beast.

It really works for when my friends and I are playing RvS2007, I just do my Bobby Lashley wuss face voice while beating people in under a minute. He seems rather over to them at least.

See, I would love that. Lashley calling someone a "booger-eating wienerface" and slam-o-nating the hell out of somebody would be totally praise-worthy.
