Lashley's promo on ECW the other night...
 

Wonderful.

Yeh. He sucks pretty bad.

I don't think he's that terrible, and for a man who has just started he has alot to learn. I'm more upset that someone decided he should be World Champion this early in his career while he has some time to go.

BTW, didn't Lashley use to be a drill sargent? I'm confused on this so I'm just clarifying. Because if he was, then there would be less of a reason why he is so bad at the mic.

Big, black dude, Mickey Mouse voice. it doesn't make sense.

True. Alot of it is on the staff who decided to push him to the moon when he doesn't have a clue.

They're clearly trying to recreate Lesnar's push, and it's failing. And not just Lashley, a lot of new guys have been getting a Lesnar-esq push.

They sort of tried it with Cena and it DID fail, but they kept at it and are starting to get him over legit (pretty much because people are just giving in).

A true champion should be able to get on the mic and atleast cut a decent promo they dont have to be the best in the world, and possesses good in-ring abilities and can put on an entertaining match. So until Lashley hoans his wrestling skills and shows us somethin impressive away from just throwing his power and size around hes gonna have a long and boring title reign.

I actually though he didn't sound too bad on ECW. One thing he has down is emphasis.

The guy can't change who he is, and regardless of his Mickey Mouse voice, I sure as Hell wouldn't pick a fight with him. I still think they should give him a promo style. I don't know whether it should be how he talked to his troops, or if he speaks all fancy like (smart and strong could be put over as a deadly and sinister combination). I think he needs to move past the "Hi, I'm Bobby Lashley...and I'm a babyface" style of promos. He really wasn't that bad, though.

I think they should give him someone like the Heyman role with Lesnar to talk and let him talk only when needed.

Hmm, actually I think that a manager might help him out quite a bit.

Yeah except Lesnar had talent. And while he wasn't great on the mic, he's miles ahead of Lashley.

I was thinking the same thing. He makes Chris Benoit's promos look like Ric Flair promos.

Here's a question:

Cena or Lashley?

No question about it. Cena.

Lashley

at least he doesnt sound completely retarded when he talks

Eugene sounds less retarded than Lashley.

Lashley sounds like Truman Capote but not retarded
