6. Bobby Lashley Ditching MVP

Well, it's been one hell of a run.

MVP was a significant upgrade over Lana for Bobby Lashley. The seasoned promo man paved the way for Lashley to finally click as a dominant heel, and their union led to two WWE Title reigns for big Bob. Along the way, both guys fronted The Hurt Business; they made that work until those pesky writers ruined everything.

Seriously though, it's been fun, but there's just no way Porter can remain by Lashley's side if the company want to run with him as a top babyface. MVP cuts heel promos that rival Paul Heyman for poise and delivery, and it's unlikely that fans would cheer Lashley if he's hiding behind a manager.

WWE should put a bow on things when MVP returns from rehabbing his knee, but they shouldn't continue with the pairing beyond that. Bobby is gonna have to start cutting his own promos and find a way to connect to the audience as a baby.
