The Lashley Vignette...

[amplifierWORSHIP!]

the crowd is not going to connect with somebody when you try to portray him as a dozen characters rolled into one.

Paul Heyman's skill of "hiding the negatives, accentuating the positives" would do wonders for someone like Lashley. sigh.

'Nice Guy Lashley'

Black Brock Lesner with Bob Backlund's mind............um.......pre-crazy Bob Backlund

They should make him so nice that everyone hates him!

'That jerk, where does he get off,being so nice?'

I dunno, Vignettes made long after the debut of a Wrestler smacks of desperation to me. They know we don't like him, so they make "touching" promos to "force" us into liking him cuz they make us feel bad for not liking him.

It's true.

Still, it's not making me really believe in him any further. No offense, but the guy's big and built like Lesnar, and you're pushing him as a nice guy in these vignettes.

IT'S NOT HELPING.

See they need to make him look tough but making him seem like a nice guy hurts him. Look at Cena, he's far more likable when he's a bad ass then way Cena is now is boring and just lame. Same thing Lashley making him being a nice guy who overcomes the odds is lame. They need to stop that! Fans do not buy it anymore.

Lashley should be more like Lesnar and show him training and looking like he will just crush somebody. Those vignettes they showed last night don't help at all. It makes the hate even worse. Really he needs a manager and he should never talk ever again. Also mix in some submission moves in it makes matches more interesting and cut down on all the power moves, even Lesnar didn't use that much power moves in his matches and he actually took some moves as well.

Really a heel turn is a must but who else do they have except the originals and CM Punk. Thats the problem as well the ECW roster is horrible. A draft is needed just to fix ECW. To be honest Lashley could be better if booked more sensibly and not made to look like superman. They made Holly look so weak during the match, and we all know Lashley will destroy him at Wrestlemania and win yet again. This in my opinion will crete massive boos. I mean look at the match last night the crowd was dead. At least with Cena people booed him, they don't give a shit about Lashley thats worse.

Taking the title off him soon would be good because he is dragging down ECW 's ratings and nothing positive will be acomplished with Lashley, as he is now. He needs to be taken off tv for a couple months like what they did with Snitsky and bring him as a monster with a manager and than show vignettes of Lashley as a bad ass. That the only way to fix him Also ECW needs someone like Benoit or Mysterio to change shows. Than ECW will be far better than it is now. Benoit vs heel monster Lashley could be excellent. That what i would do anyway.

Part 2's gonna show him gossiping with the ladies at the hair salon and then fanny-pack shopping.

Lashley needs a goatee. It would make him look evil.

They need to start marketing right, by putting out t-shirts, figures, etc. I mean the guy did sell out the last ecw taping here in Houston so thats a good start.

That had very, very little to do with Bobby Lashley. Plus when he sells out arenas in NewYork, Chicago, Boston and Los Angeles than I'll give him credit. Sorry Texas is mark era and did you hear the crowd responses before Snitsky came? Dead silence.
