Is Bobby Lashley any good?
I've seen maybe 2 of his matches, and they kinda sucked, but anyone can have a bad day.

He has some potential but he's been pushed way too fast. His ring psychology and personality are near nonexistent at this point.

Another observation about Bobby Lashley's SmackDown! work. After he finished his match, his walk to the back was routine. If Bobby Lashley is really like that, my apologies, but it just didn't seem "in character" as much as it seemed "try to melt the hearts of the women and children." Another John Cena we have. |

Lashley is good. Well, he has the potential to be good. He's got an amateur wrestling background, and he used to work 20-minute matches with guys like Finlay and King Booker on a week-to-week basis on SmackDown!. That's where he should still be.
A heel turn with Lashley, with a mouthpiece and a feud with Chris Benoit over the United States Championship would have been a thing of beauty. |

He has the tools. He just hasn't fully learned to utilize them. His mic skills are also suffering but who says he needs to talk.

Lashley is pretty terrible. Even Jesse Jackson says he's pretty bad.

He's really green yes. But he oozes charisma, don't kid yourselves. Can he talk? Nah. Guess what? That has nothing to with charisma.

Bobby Lashley's suicide dive into the steel cage was hilarious in a way. That's not an insult on Lashley, it was just so funny to see him leap into it like that, and then crash out. I liked it. That's the kind of energy Bobby Lashley had when he squashed Simon Dean in his very first WWE match.
Lashley has got so much potential, but he is being pushed way to fast for his own good. It's almost heartbreaking, because you know he's going to stay there, and he's going to be booed for months until people just give in and accept he's there to stay. It's not the way things should be done, and it's fucked up the WWE picks and chooses which guys to market themselves on. Bobby Lashley's performance on SmackDown! was...mmm. When Vince McMahon slapped him, Lashley gave him the funniest look. It was hilarious. It was the kind of face Wayne Brady pulled on Whose Line is it Anyway when he played a pissed-off grandma. It was that deliberate. If it was intended for comedy purposes, it would have been decent (he's certainly no Wayne Brady in the performing department), but it was meant to be serious. When Mr. Kennedy followed it up by having a promo exchange with Vince McMahon, my thoughts were "Kennedy is so much better than Lashley." When he gets into the ring is when he shines best, but he is still finding his style. When he does get it down, he will be able to draw people into his matches really well, but right now he's a pre-schooler playing with adult wrestlers, and it's just upsetting to see. |

He only started to get heat when they put him on ECW. Before that no one gave him shit, now he's the anti-Christ.
