Bobby Lashley Details Intense Storyline He Pitched To Vince McMahon

WWE

Bobby Lashley has shared an intense storyline that he once pitched Vince McMahon that would have seen him make a big transformation.

In speaking with the NotSam Wrestling podcast, Bobby Lashley described an interesting storyline he once pitched to Vince McMahon.

Describing an angle in which Lashley would undertake a physical transformation in order to portray a deep emotional experience visually, Vince McMahon apparently wasn’t sold.

Lashley saying of the concept:

“I told Vince a year ago, I think a year or two ago, I told him, ‘I want to do this character.’ He said, ‘What is it?’ I said, ‘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.’ And he said, ‘There’s no way you can do that.’ I said, ‘Man, I think I can do it.'”

In a follow up tidbit, Lashley didn’t refute the idea that he would be willing to pitch the idea again to Triple H, rather just laughed.

Is there a character transformation in the future for Bobby Lashley after he recently lost the United States Championship.

We’ll have to wait and see if he is able to to reclaim the title or if perhaps there is something else entirely in store for Lashley as we see the return of Brock Lesnar.

Brock Lesnar is set to appear on tonight’s October 17 WWE Raw after waging a vicious attack on Bobby Lashley ahead of his aforementioned title loss last week.
