That was so weird and yet I find myself wanting more. "Unlike a lot of unfortunate people out there, I had a great family" was a bit heelish, but knowing WWE they're going to try to push Bobby as a face WHO JUST LOVES HIS FAMILY. ...Which would really make US sound like complete dicks. “HE LOVES HIS FAMILY, BOOOOOOOOOOOO” Well, why should we like nice, awkward people? Snarky, vicious sociopaths who are quick with the zingers are where it's at.

The reaction to this segment in the live thread was pure gold. I need more of this. Ok, that HAS to be setting him up as a heel right? Bobby Lashly as a Waylon Mercy-ish psycho who acts pleasant right before beating you up is money. I'm thinking less Waylon Mercy and more Ultraviolent Wayne Brady.

Lashley has been settling for that suplex because his real finisher is only available while he's oiled up.

Lashley: "My sister Jellybean got food poisoning from the school cafeteria, so I went to shop class and grabbed a hacksaw-"
Renee: "Hookay, we're out of time."

This interview made me far less interested in Bobby Lashley and reminded me why I was so bored of him in his first WWE run. I don't know if that was WWE's intention but if so, bravo, they really knocked it out of the park.

This was so f***ing weird. She teed him up for a fun story like a clichéd late night talk show host and he just regales her with these unsettling tales from his youth.
It sounded so "actorish". It was like a monologue that he'd prepared for an audition. Possibly he has a one man show coming up? Broadway Bobby Lashley would be a fresh gimmick.

I'm still not entirely certain I didn't fall asleep during the show and hallucinate that promo in some sort of Jungian fever dream.

Lashley answering the age long question of “is there any pro wrestler better off in TNA?”
He’s the one guy that is.

As much or more than Mr. T with his mama though? Is that even possible?

This could work if every time they interview him about something, Lashley regales them with more dark, morbid tales of his past.
"And then our baseball team was about to make the playoffs, but the night before our last regular season game, I found out that the coach hates dogs. I love dogs, and I trusted this man more than anybody who wasn't family. So I hacked off the arms and legs of every other kid on the team and dumped their bloody limbs in his hotel bed as he slept. Oh man, that scream of horror when he woke up..."

What the hell was that?? So often you see great web exclusive wwe stuff and wonder why they can't fit then into a three hour raw ....but that they have time for?
Who thought that would make people care about him? Why would a guy telling boring stories about being bullied by his sisters make you want to watch him fight? What was that building up or adding to his character?
Why did Renee keep tilting her head and smiling? Could she have looked any more bored?
That was the worst thing I've seen since the new bad ass new star who dresses like a demon likes to play with Lego's they aired on NXT. I never felt the same way about Finn again.
Imagine a look at Austin telling those stories, or a look at HHH being the scenes playing with dolls. How does anyone think these things possibly help a wrestler get popular or help people become invested in their fights? I mean why even would it??
Wrestling can be so stupid sometimes, but that is more just either completely clueless or purposely sabotaging someone. I refuse to believe actual wrestling writers sat down and decided that would do anything for him.

I hope they actually follow through on this and make him an actual scary heel taking out his trauma on his new/extended family the WWE Universe.
This pretty much needs to end in a jobber massacre
