Bobby Lashley Shoot Interview on Ric Flair, John Cena, The Simon System and Working in Mexico

[overtheunder1993]

He seems like a real nice guy.

[gazz12345a]

He doesn't sound black.

[MEZ92]

@gazz12345a Not all black people are how mainstream media depicts them.

[gneisenau321]

@MEZ92

Since when does the mainstream media ever accurately portray people?

[Blackhaze3000]

@gneisenau321 ha thank u.

[gneisenau321]

@Blackhaze3000

No prob.

[eslubin]

blowaway diet. lol

[JoBo6772]

LOL SIMON SYSTEM, funny that they had Simon Dean on right before the interview started then they talk about it with Lashley

[boru25]

Lashley didn't bring up any real facts like Jim Cornette does.

[MachoManDeeShaw]

Lashley sucks. He can't sell, he's a musclehead and he cant cut a promo to save his life. TNA got rid of him. Thank god, the first good thing the company has done.

[HollywoodKendrick]

WHY IS HE SUGAR COATING?? TELL THE FUCKIN TRUTH!! he must be under WWE contract right now.

[richman2425]

If you turn back the clock, would anyone pay their money to see Lashley against any legend? Ultimate Warrior? Kamala? Junkyard Dog? Curt Henning? Butch Reed? Afa and Sika? Jesse Ventura? Big Bossman? Rick Rude? Tony Atlas? Paul Orndorff? Owen Hart?

[mapscannotcontainme]

I would not pay to watch Ultimate Warrior. Ultimate Warrior never sold and I just never liked watching him. His entrace was awesome but after his music stopped he was just a muscle head.

Anybody else on there would be worth watching, if the rest of the card was up to par.

[BXmuffslayer]

@mapscannotcontainme someone memorized the Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior DVD perbetum.

[mapscannotcontainme]

@BXmuffslayer

Neither I nor Merriam-Webster nor the OED know what perbetum means. Are you trying to say verbatim? If so, then no, I have not memorized the Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior DVD verbatim. However, rather than me having copied what the WWE said about the Ultimate Warrior, isn't it just possible that I could not like him b/c he was a stiff worker who never sold or jobbed cleanly and routinely hurt performers in the ring? I didn't need a DVD to tell me those things.

[BXmuffslayer]

@mapscannotcontainme I was hoping someone would catch that, Kudos, even though you had to look it up,but its neither here nor there. and i hate to break it to you but youre still quoting off of the DVD, 97% of the workers (even the greater ones) worked stiff in matches, that is no Secret, but he did Sell and did job cleanly to alot of guys during his Tenure in AWA,NWA and WWFE, He just didnt do it all the time. He wasnt suppose to either because it was his Gimmick,the unstoppable Ball of energy.

[mapscannotcontainme]

@BXmuffslayer OK if people are into that, then good for them. I like the guys like Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels, though, who made more about the match they wrestled than whether they won or lost. If you have to win all your matches, then you don't impress me. If you're a great wrestler and have the charisma and ability, the fans will like you no matter how many times you lose. You guys can have the Hogans, Goldbergs, and Warriors. I'll take the Flairs, Harts, Michaels, Savages, and Steamboats.

[BXmuffslayer]

@mapscannotcontainme You guys? Look, The Hogans,Flairs,Warriors,etc. Made Wrestling Mainstream for people to get to know the Steamboats,Harts, Michaels,Jannetys, Hakushis,etc. I got into Wrestling because of Savage and Bret Hart, Ive been watching Wrestling for over 25 years and have seen Wrestlers hit the pinnacle and drop to Obscurity. Seen People who were the greatest Workers of all time, only get as high as the Intercontinental Title or TV/US title or not win a Title at all. So "You Guys"?No

[mapscannotcontainme]

@BXmuffslayer

Yeah Flair and Hogan did make wrestling what it is. I think you're giving Warrior a little too much credit, however. The difference between Flair and Hogan though is that Flair would regularly put over somebody clean other than 7 foot tall, 500 lb giants or a 600 lb. sumo wrestler. Flair got very predictable and too formulaic in the last ten, fifteen years of his career, but his 70s and 80s and even early 90s matches are beyond comparison /w anyting Hogan ever did technically.

[HollywoodKendrick]

@BXmuffslayer I dont know any adult who didn't watch wrestling as youngster, who says they never liked the Ultimate Warrior. It's mostly people who started during the attitude era.

[HollywoodKendrick]

@mapscannotcontainme You're the first person who never liked the Ultimate Warrior....Did you just start watching wrestling on youtube or something?

[mapscannotcontainme]

@HollywoodKendrick

No and no. I'm not the first person who never liked the Ultimate Warrior and I did not just start watching wrestling. I've been watching wrestling since the early 1990s. I just never liked the Ultimate Warrior because his matches were always the same...just like Hogans...those guys either got the buts kicked most of the match and came back at the end by hulking up and doing a lame finish or they would lose due to interference. It was too predictable for me, even at 5.

[HollywoodKendrick]

@mapscannotcontainme You're lying. You LOVED The Ultimate Warrior as a kid. Now you hate him because you're feeding into that self destruction crap.

[HollywoodKendrick]

@alansalt You're a piece of shit thats why.

[HollywoodKendrick]

@alansalt Well go watch amateur wrestling then!!! This is pro wrestling. What the hell! You want Warrior to do a boring wrist lock? A boring waist lock? Clotheslines and gorilla press slams are ALOT better. You want the ULTIMATE WARRIOR to be a technical wrestler. HULK Hogan to do an armbar. Theres only one reason you don't like the Warrior. Because you suck.

[HollywoodKendrick]

@alansalt You dont have the RIGHT to disagree. You don't have any rights! You are the moron!

[jaryd12345]

@alansalt There's no need for you lot to bitch and argue, you like sports entertaiment, watch WWE. You like wrestling, watch ROH or maybe NJPW if you like a different style. And if you like clusterfucks, watch TNA, simple.

[Zamudiokid]

@mapscannotcontainme he was my favorite, but i know you are correct

[HollywoodKendrick]

@richman2425 Thats a different timeline...thats when wrestling was good...so that doesnt count.

[richman2425]

Did Lashley ever talked about Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero's death? Also about his matches with JBL and Booker T who are greats in this sport?

[wwfchamp]

Hah, so if Arn Anderson or Ricky Steamboat walk passed u, u have to show them respect. Gay

[smx2006]

Just saying hi i watched you as a kid i really liked some of your matches and i think this and that move you did was really cool

[UltimateBelief24]

suck balls with that... You can show your respect without kissing ppls monkey asses with that and if u cunts dont like it and give me thumbs down, I culdnt give two hoots hahahah...

[dcummings3990]

lol great

[emuholic]

what does he mean when he says when you walk past them in the corridoor and you dont show the veterans respect? what are you meant to do, get on your hands and knees and lick their boots? would saying hi and walking on without kissing their ass be disrespectful?

[kenjinator]

he's saying for example, if u walk past them and dont acknowledge them after all they done to make that person a big star, its like a slap in the face to them. he says u gotta be hard working, show appreciation and respect when the time comes, not just whenever!

[emuholic]

he said nothing about on the condition theyve made you a big star, he just said if you get into the business, when they walk past you in the locker room/corridoor/ back stage!

[nautaliz]

he means dont just walk past them thinking that they're some road agent or script writer. recognize who they are and what they've done for the business
