Inspired by the Do we love Batista Thread.
Bobby is a great wrestler, he just sucks on the mic

He sucks on the microphone and up until he injury, he was botch-full in the ring.
No love for old Bobby-fett here.
Work on your craft, young man.
There's some serious stuff going on inside of that ring.

No. He needs to learn how to talk, or not talk at all.

Bobby is a great wrestler, he just sucks on the mic If he's what passes for a great wrestler these days, then it's no wonder we spend so much time bitching on the Internet. I'm not saying the guy doesn't have potential, but he's not there yet. And, at least to older fans, "bathturd" and the bulging-eyed "NO!" will make him a joke for quite some time. I feel for the guy because he was pushed up the ladder way before he was ready. It's not his fault because no one would turn down that opportunity, but I'm kind of ambivalent about Lashley so far. |

Meh ... I don't mind him so much, as I minded how he was getting shoved down our throats. Let the crowds warm up to him, don't try to force them to like him by having him wrestle 4 times in one night.
In ring, he's cut down on the botches quite a bit, but is still green. He shows flashes at times when he's in there against a solid veteran worker, but he's still very hit and miss as far as match quality at this point. They also need to stop letting him talk.
I know he wasn't very good as a heel in OVW, but I think he'd be better off as a heel than a face at this stage, as long as they just had a mouthpiece to do ALL the talking for him. Teddy Long's not doing much these days, so maybe they can give him a call. Have Teddy come out, saying the crowd turned their backs by forgetting about both of them while they were gone. Then Bobby could just start wrecking people without saying anything.
It seems obvious that he's gonna get pushed no matter what, so to try and make the best of things I'd change it up, as his "monster face" persona doesn't seem to be connecting with the crowd as much as you'd like him to given the push he's received. Obviously, I'm sure my heel turn idea has some flaws, but it was just something I came up with while I was typing this up.

Seems like a good guy who was pushed too soon.

Donald Trump approves. That's where you're wrong. It's Bobby Lindsey that Trump approves of.  |

He' s very good in the ring and even though he sure isn' t great with the mic, he can come up with amusing stuff every now and then.
So yes, I like him.

I thought this was about Bobby Heenan when I first saw this, for some reason. Oh, well.
I don't really care one way or another about Bobby Lashley.
