Another thing, having 3 Champions with the bodybuilder look & limited in-ring abilities, it makes the shows all feel the same. Thats what Vince wants. His dumbass is convinced that that 80's mentality of having the unbeatable super hero on top still sells.

People are far to hard on Mr. Lashley. Sure, he's a terrible promo, but that's technically his only fault. He's one of the finest wrestlers-wrestler the WWE has right now. I'd place him in the same grouping as Benoit, Regal, Finlay and others of that sort. The guy has a whole versatile offense, unlike most others his size. And the dude can totally bump/sell better than you'd ever expect from someone of his stature. Brock never bumped like Bobby has (forget the Mania thing, that was a botch). Look at the Money in the Bank match from Mania 22, take out Flair who's in his 50's, and it was Lashley who took most of the major spots. So, remove the promo giving aspects of the guy, and you have someone who's far more than credible to be your World champion, and not just of a third-rate rundown ECW brand.

I like Goldberg, I can imagine him doing snarling noises after spearing someone.
Lashley is boring since he doesn't do much.
Give Lashley a primal roar or something.

The question remains...is Bobby Lashley the black Goldberg, or is Goldberg just the Jewish Lashley?

I never had any expectations from Lashley since he never gave me a reason to give a damn about him.
