10 Worst Ideas That Actual WRESTLERS Came Up With

2. Bobby Lashley Tries To Get Fat

Bobby Lashley probably couldn't get fat if he tried; the man somehow turns 47 years old in July of this year and still looks as if he has been chiselled out of marble.

He did however wish to try, as he revealed to Not Sam Wrestling (h/t Metro) in 2022.

"If I get beat one time, I want to go into this severe depression and put on like 40, 50, 60, or 70 pounds and just be fat and be a completely different character. And then have like somebody like an MVP, or somebody that’s on my side, kind of like, pull me back and then have the crowd watch this transition back to me."

In addition to being mildly offensive - the idea that being overweight automatically makes one sad is a bit much, even for WWE - it wouldn't have worked because people simply enjoy watching an ultra-shredded monster f*ck people up.

Why, in general, is that so hard to grasp?

Why does WWE have to make Bron Breakker sell for so long in his matches? Why can't they book a fun babyface World title reign?

Why does Lashley feel like he has to rip off a story beat from the MCU?
