I’m saying this in all sincerity
What the fuck would AEW want with Bobby Lashley?
They’ve passed on so many other recent wwe departures that are either way younger or more versatile than Bobby. They’ve got a loaded roster they don’t need the WWE old guys anymore.

Agreed, unless there’s a really good young star that WWE stupidly get rid of or one of the top names becomes available I don’t see AEW going for former WWE guys for a while.

the ONLY thing I would say is they dont have many guys that look like Bobby size wise. that being said with his age and style, he is not the most dynamic or exciting wrestler. same can be said about his promos. I am with you that I am unsure where he would fit in this landscape and just being big in wwe does not mean instant success in aew or automatic interest either. I agree with you it is not 2020 anymore and AEW has been much much more restraint on their ex wwe pickups in free agency.

would I be upset or disappointed if he came to AEW? no, I would welcome him

Am I clamoring for Lashley run in AEW? No, I can't say that I am

Brief TNA nostalgia run, he puts over the champion du jour, has fun multi-man tags, then leaves

Then the typical weekend warrior indie stuff that non-picked-up releases do

Sounds like the best path for Lashley

That doesn’t sound like Lashley’s bag at all

If I’m WWE I’m bringing back the Hurt Business. The tag team division can always use extra talent. MVP is an excellent mouthpiece.

Gotta love seeing the "Triple H is racist" narrative from the social derps.......love seeing them only consider ONE skin tone as a race and every other minority/ethnic group don't count because...... :shrug:

He make more money in AEW, so if that’s all he cares about, go there. If he wants to be used better, go to TNA. I love AEW but the way the roster is right now, I’m not sure how well he be used. So just depends on what he truly wants.

Low key if they did another Hurt Business I would want it to start with Lashley before using it to put someone like Hobbs or Lio Rush over
