When Brock Lesnar left the WWE, there was a big void in the main event scene that is still hurting the E today. Did Lashley's release make such impact or can the WWE survive without him?

Lesnar was much more over than Lashley was, and so I doubt Lashley's absence will hurt WWE at all.

No. He would have a hard time fitting back in, IMO. Things were just fine without him...

When he got injured there was no effect on the WWE. I'm positive that at least half of the audience has already forgotten him.

Maybe if hed have left at the peak of his gigantic push, but it doesnt affect anything at all since he had been gone for months anyway.

I would say the departure doesn't hurt WWE, but it doesn't help either. Lashley could've given the company another option for feuds, storylines, etc. But they're doing well for now, so they'll survive.

Nahh he was impressive looking but lacked the mic work and charisma. WWE can find tons of bodybuilders and throw them into the spotlight when they arent ready. Its about all they do these days anyways.  |

Not comparing Lashley to Brock, as that would be blasphemy, but to be fair, Brock wasn't out for many months with an injury when he left, so his absence would have been felt more even if he was lower on the card.

Its about all they do these days anyways. I don't think they can find a bodybuilder look like Lashley though. You have to admit, Lashley had the best overall physique in WWE history, both in cut and size. |

Brock was on the active roster when he left, and still a pretty big part of it too.
Lashley's been out since sometime last fall and was a guy who seemed shoehorned into various feuds to help make him bigger.

Just too bad he was thrown into the top spot without being totally ready to be there. I heard he is a little guy now. Hes lost alot of his muscle mass.. Is that true? |

No, he's been gone for a while. Looking ahead, to the main event scene two or three years from now. Yes. Wrestlers are an investment. Every second of TV time that Vince puts in one guy is second someone else gets cut from. So the WWE loses the time they put into the guy, one whom they had big plans for, in my mind at least. Now they have to promote someone else to take his spot. And the WWE isn't having an easy time creating new stars these days.
