I cant speak for everyone, but heres my problem with him....
He was getting a good midcard push on Smackdown and being built up. He was doing great stuff with Finlay and others. Then all of a sudden, for no real reason, he jumps to ECW and leapfrogs everybody and wins the ECW title.
Here is some midcard guy from another show coming over and being handed a World title and jumping guys who were move over and more deserving then him (RVD, Punk, Sabu, hell even Holly).
Then his whole ECW title run is made up of a fued with Vince McMahon and Umaga. He had 1 feud with Test and that was about the extent of his actual ECW fueds.
He was then shoved down our throats on not 1 but 2 shows. He was put in a position where he had to do a lot of mic work, which he is just not capable of doing.
He essentially was getting the same push as John Cena. With the difference being Cena actually spent years in the midcard and worked his way up to the point he was so over, he had to be a main event guy. Lashley was just forced upon us into that role. He was over, but he wasnt THAT over. He should have stayed on Smackdown, and continued to work midcard-upper midcard programs for another year at least. Let him get to the point were people are demanding he be main eventing. Instead they just took him a year into his career on WWE tv and said, ok, you like Bobby Lashley a lot now because we say so!
People can say what they want about John Cena, Randy Orton, and Batista. But at least those three worked their way up and were put into main event spots because the fans demanded it and it couldnt be ignored any longer.
