10 WWE Money In The Bank 2018 Impulse Reactions
8. Bobby Dav-No
Sami Zayn probably could have bumped-and-fed for Bobby Lashley for ten enjoyable minutes if instructed to do so. Instead, he did barely either of the two in 6:35 of a squash that apparently justified the worst segment of the year in the build-up.
Why can Vince McMahon still not find the connective tissue between his perfect vision of a wrestler and his grimly disillusioned audience? He had the same issue in 2007 when the crowd yearned for anybody but an inexperienced muscular greenhorn, but 11 years of tangible improvement should be rendering those old complaints moot. Lashley's got his working boots (and headband) on these days, with glorious white tights that elevate his already-glorious physical appearance even further. For all the failings of the woeful story going in, Zayn was a perfect pr*ck from first promo to last pinfall, and yet fans simply refuse to care.
Is a heel turn already required for Big Bobby to avoid the road to Roman Reigns-esque ruin? He's smaller than Braun Strowman and less over. Channelling his own inner-bastard seems the only logical solution.
