Although his WWE career might have been short-lived, it’s not hard to see why Bobby Lashley was picked to be Vince McMahon’s ‘next top guy’. The man is built like an eighteen-wheeler, possesses the quickness and agility of a much smaller wrestler, and has developed an impressive MMA resume since jumping ship to TNA.

Before joining WWE, Lashley won several amateur wrestling championships during his college years, and even wrestled as part of the US military. Bobby was also present during a bank robbery, a near-death experience that stopped him from training for the 2004 Olympics, but spurred him on to chase his dreams of glory within both the cage and the squared circle.

Across various MMA promotions, Lashley has won an impressive 15 out of 17 fights, and is arguably one of the toughest legit cmobat athletes currently dividing his time between pro-wrestling and mixed martial arts.
