Default Anyone else sick of Bobby Lashley?

I didn't mind him too much when he was on Smackdown, but I feel like his rise in ECW has been a joke. I know Vince loves his musclebound wrestlers, but his overall gimmick feels like such a rip of Goldberg.

- Similar moveset like spear/running powerslam/t-bone suplex
- Military background hyped up
- Looks invincible often (has he lost in ECW yet?)

Not all his fault, as his feuds have been god-awful so far. Test is a lousy wrestler with no gimmick except "being mean". Hardcore Holly a mediocre wrestler with no reason to fight Lashley except "being mean". Snitsky the same case. So any real potential feuds with legit heels (which there really are none) give me no reason to give a crap about a feud, nor do any potential heels have any reason to go after him except for the title.

Also, why should a champion be "quiet, soft-spoken, and humble"? I can see Rey Mysterio doing that, but this guy is a beast. He's no underdog. Champions should have drive, passion, charisma, intensity, a purpose. He's just "happy to be there".

Maybe Vince just wants to drive ECW into the ground. It needs a two-hour show. It needs to let some of these guys cut promos (which none of the featured heels can do either except for Matt Striker). /end rant (and no I won't tell Vince I have ideas and have him steal them from me).

Yes, he's similar to Goldberg/Lesner.

Have you heard him speak? You don't really want a guy that big to sound like he does.

Lashley needs to turn heel. Then maybe he'd be more interesting.

Right now he reminds me of a less intense, lamer version of Brock Lesnar

I can live with Lashley. The guy needs some edge and some character, though.

I disagree. Usually big heels need mic time. He sounds like a friggin girl. Nobody will ever hate him.

I didn't hate him until tonight when we found out that its official, Lashley vs. Umaga in the Donald vs. Vince match.

They can do nothing to this match to make it more than a bathroom break during Wrestlemania for me. As of right now the Intercontinental and ECW World Title aren't being defended. You gotta be kidding me.
