Bobby ‘ The Dominator’ Lashley

Bobby Lashley is a powerhouse performer, known for his immense strength and intensity in the ring. He has been successful in both WWE and TNA. While at WWE, he won the United States Championship once, and was a two time ECW World Champion. He was also the first African American to hold the ECW World Championship title in the history of the company. He suffered a legitimate injury while working for the promotion, and was released in 2008.

While talking about his release, Lashley said that WWE didn’t have anything for him during his release and named a certain WWE Legend who told him about the same.

“Without speculation as to who that was, the person in charge at the time of writing me back into the show was Michael Hayes. He said he didn’t have anything for me. To make a long story short, or ‘this is what we’re going to say,’ I decided not to come back because and was going to pursue other interests. I can tell you I personally don’t like the guy”.

He made his debut for TNA in 2009, where he shocked and impressed everyone with his power as he cleared the entire Main Event Mafia stable from the ring, and saved Mick Foley in the process. TNA President even said in an interview that she wanted to make him a World Champion in both MMA and WWE. He was released by the company in 2010, but soon returned in 2014 as a heel. He defeated Eric Young on an episode of Impact Wrestling to become the first African American TNA World Heavyweight Champion. He has been a two time TNA World Heavyweight Champion, winner of the 2009 TNA Championship Series, and winner of the 2015 TNA Joker’s Wild.
