Lashley and Lio Rush are the highlight of Raw for me

[Deleted]

Anyone else agree?

Lashley should be Universal Champion. Not Interconeintnal Champion. But at least it’s a step in the right direction.

Man has been used terribly since his comeback. From his generic face run to the heel turn which rejuvenated his career in WWE. I was buzzing for a Lashley/Lesnar match at Summerslam when Lashley beat Roman CLEAN on the PPV before. I was pissed when I realized this win amounted to nothing and the actual “number one contenders match” took place on a random Raw which Roman got his win back.

Lashley vs Lesnar was the money match. And Lashley is one of the few that could believably dominate Lesnar.

As for Lio Rush... well he has been a godsend for him. I liked Lashley in TNA when MVP was his manager. But Lio Rush brings out the best in him IMO. The fact that Rush can kill it in the ring helps aswell. Just imagine him selling for Lesnar.

Am I alone in hoping that Lashley wins the Rumble and we get this dream match at Mania? Unfortunately one of them is gonna have to be a “face”... so I don’t see it happening. I don’t want a face Lashley/Lio combo right now. But maybe Brock could do it JUST for this feud. Then he can pass the torch to (IMO) the superior option.

Lashley offers everything Brock does and actually shows up every week. He would be a better champion.

Your thoughts?

I’m crying. OP a wild cat for this one but I respect their heart and courage and hope they get what they want

Some people are easily entertained i guess.

Lio's doing fine but I just cannot with Lashley. Dude has all the presence and charisma of Chaz when he was wrestling in camo boxers.

And for the record I like Lashley and Lio but they're perfect for the midcard. Their current position fits.

[trollrogue]

It's almost a travesty how they never claim Lashley is a former World Champion like they did when he was ECWWE Champ, I don't know why they erase stuff like that, and like Mark Henry's Hall of Pain (when he was jobbing to Cesaro or Rusev during their U.S. title reigns) people they push in the past like Jericho have to always re-pay their dues and mire through the midcard and re-prove that they're better than that and ready for the main event-- again like Jericho did with the List and Festival of Friendship.

I don't know why they do it but honestly people like Lashley and Leo shoved into the midcard have no choice but to steal the show in that position, and it seems to work. Hmm maybe I see why they do it now lol

Wouldn't say they're a highlight for me, but I'm cool with Lashley getting the IC title and Lio makes me laugh.

[chronocross]

I like Lashley and think he's doing well for himself now with Lio as his mouthpiece and being the IC champ.

[sunnytaker]

hearing Lio is an instant fast forward for me, but Lashley would be fine in a gatekeeper role to the universal champ, US/IC champ former world champ and still looks imposing enough that beating him should be a big deal for someone. but Lio I could certainly do without

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

I think he is exactly where he should be but I do love the pair of them together.

Which is weird, because he was the one ECW Champion that the Royal Rumble winner (Undertaker) teased challenging him at WrestleMania.

I like their spot. I think it’s goid for both of them.

I do actually want to see Lashley and Lesnar bump into each other backstage and do the old up and down. But I don’t want to see anything else come from that.

Lashley is ass. At least his gimmick is self aware.

Lio has improved in his role; Bobby is still a charisma vaccum with nothing to offer besides a physique.

Lashley/Brock would've been dumped on by the crowd from the bell.

[trollrogue]

Lashley, like Macho Man, owes a lot of his current overness to Lio Rush as did MM to Miss Elizabeth. It helps that Rush is probably the most athletic guy on 205Live that doesn't seem to mind to be in the CW midcard (i.e. not in the title picture for the CW title) along with being a mouthpiece for a RAW Superstar, he in many ways proves to be a main eventer by taking these lower-tier roles, and jobbing to other guys on the comeup. Lashley found his mute non-promoing booty a great partner in Mr. Rush

So we gonna act like the combination of this post with this avi isn't hysterical? It's like Bobby wanted to be anonymous, and he still added a picture of himself. I love it.

[MAGGLE]

I don´t even want this man to win Mr. Universe...let alone a wrestling title for flexing.
