Bobby Lashley shouldn't be here.

When the man-mountain romped onto Raw the night after WrestleMania and received the customary 'holy sh*t' post-'Mania pop, things looked bright. Month by month, segment by segment, WWE have chipped away at that aura and necessitated the decision to put hype man Lio Rush in his corner to do the talking.

Lashley critics might point to his limited mic skills, but he hasn't been given much of a chance. Dreadful material like yakking on about his childhood in excruciating sit-down interviews with Renee Young, being called 'Bob' like he's someone's pet cat by Roman Reigns and doing yoga with Jinder Mahal hasn't exactly given the muscle-head a fair shake.

Impact Wrestling booked Lashley better than this. At least they (sometimes) focused on his relentless training regime, attempts to break into MMA and kept promos simple by letting Bobby speak from the heart. In WWE, he hasn't lived up to his billing, and that's down to creative's own shortcomings as much as him.
