WWE Not Interested In Bobby Lashley

WrestleZone
In the past, Bobby Lashley has said in interviews that he still enjoys professional wrestling. He spoke to me an interview several months ago on TribLIVE radio and said he would love to come back to WWE and joked about signing him up to do a WrestleMania match with Brock Lesnar.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting there is no interest from WWE to bring back Lashley. The report states that the lack of interest stems from the way Lashley left WWE after getting a big push. There also seems to still be a rocky relationship between Lashley and WWE creative team member Michael Hayes.

That's a shame, I was a fan of Lashley and he had a great physique that suited a champion and was easily over with the crowd as a top babyface and would still be one of many at the top if he didn't leave. He made ECW entertaining but it was a bit of a douchebag way to leave straight after getting a big push though.

Wonder what Michael Hayes problem with him is? Some say Hayes is racist and that's why Booker T left in the first place because of Hayes and Booker did whoop his ass. Not knowing if the last part was true or not but still. And don't forget the guy came up with Mark Henry's nickname of "Silverback".

I was a fan of his as well, liked him most during his Smackdown/ECW run though. I got a feeling he may end up back one day if he is really serious about it. He is not to old to the point he has nothing to offer either.

 

[Defiant]

I do like Lashley, but if they were to bring him back just to rocket him to the moon again, I'd rather not have to endure another run.

And I forget what was actually said, but I think Hayes pissed off Lashley with a racist remark if I'm remembering right... Which I may not be, I may be thinking of Farooq.

 

[Darth Shizzel]

Yeah it had something to do with a remark made to Kristal not that it matters now, I think WWE are missing out on a chance here with Lashley because he's demands will be nowhere near that of Brock Lesnar and he is more then capable of being in the main event and would be fine in the PG era.

I'm pretty sure he was unhappy with how they were treating his real life girlfriend Krystal and other backstage things, and I remember reading somewhere and I'm pretty sure he used the "n word" whilst speaking to Lashley.

Another story I do know though is that Hayes and Henry had an incident back at WrestleMania 24 where Hayes said something along the lines of "I'm more of a n----- than you are." to Henry and Henry took offense to it and got into a physical altercation with him. The situation was then reported to upper management, and a 60 day suspension was handed to Michael Hayes. Supposedly Hayes was drinking that week and prior to the incident which was probably one of the major causes for him saying it. Henry has said that he's put it behind him now though.

 

[The Cork]

He's not much of a name.

I can't see why they would want to bring him back, most the audience has probably already forgotten him.

 

[Troy]

If WWE think that they can make money with him then they will bring him back. I can see why they would be hesitant to bring him back after how he left the company BUT just look at Brock Lesnar. He screwed the company over in the way he left yet WWE are more than happy to deal with him now because he can make them a lot of money.

It has been a long time since Lashley was last in WWE so he wouldn't have a built in fanbase like a Lesnar but I am sure WWE could make him a maineventer again if they wanted to.

 

[Johnny Ace]

I just don't think Bobby Lashley can put butts in seats bottomline. He is not that great, but he is good and all he had to do really was work on his mic skills. He is 100% better than that piece fof crap ass clown, Ezekiel Jackson, and I just hope the WWE doesn't think that they have Big Zeke that they don't need another big black wrestler.

 

[AF.]

WWE should have brought him back. There's a spot for him on SmackDown and WWE needs talent, so why not?

 

[We Are Legion]

Bobby Lashley sucked.

I just never found him entertaining the slightest.

 

[Crippler]

Totally agree with Cerbs

 

[Chriss]

WWE needs Bobby. When I look to the WWE roster I can see only two muscular guys and those two have na skill. I mean, Bobby wasnt the best but hes been a good mucular "monster" or however you call it. He just needs to work in his mic skills.

 

[Prodigy]

Not too bothered about this news really. Would've been nice to see him back but I couldn't really see WWE benefiting from him.

 

[Deezy]

Lashley wasn't much, apart from a the mega push he received, nothing memorable from his stint.

 

[SAIYANS]

I am not buying this. They would take him back because it is business and he has a higher payoff than their youth and could be a player on raw or SD assuming Hayes doesn't call him a N again. He is young, believable, has credentials, and was over so he would be an asset regardless of how he left as he never said a bad thing about WWE, th mcmahons, or anyone but well Hayes.
