Lashley looked destined to make the Olympic wrestling team before blowing his knee out in 2004. How did that happen? Well, the muscle man was privy to a bloody bank robbery, and he almost got shot in the heat of the moment. Yeah, that'll take the shine off anyone's day.

Bobby was in said bank when a few dudes started shooting up the place. Dodging a bullet, the wrestling hopeful dropped to the ground and tried to stay calm. Later, after helping others regain their composure, he realised that his knee had swollen up to the size of a football - the Olympic dream was about to die.

To his credit, Lashley didn't try to come across as some tough guy when recanting this tale to Austin on 'Broken Skull'. He admitted that he was scared out of his mind when bullets started flying (who wouldn't be?!) and was only thinking about saving his life.
