As of right now, I haven't realy seen him in a real match yet. Just a bunch of squashes. But at least he cna wrestle, unlike some other talentless big guys in the "E" right now.

I'm a fan of Bobby Lashley, he's ok in the ring, but he really needs to work on his mic skills. I wouldn't mind seeing him as champion some time in the future when he gets better in the ring and on the mic, I just hope the WWE doesn't push him too fast.

Lashley is one of the strongest athletes on SmackDown! right now, no doubt about it. It's not common to see a rookie get over in the eyes of the fans, to the extent he has done already. Although he has simply been thrown into squash matches lately, from what I've seen from him already, he could very well make a world champion someday. He needs to get comfortable on the mic though. I remember his Rumble promo earlier on in the year, the only one that sticks to mind too, simply because it was terrible.

He sucks on the mic. Hopefully he'll fix that sometime before they give him the belt.

i think hes very impressive, has a great entrance...and some creative skills in the ring.

i can see him being either the next u.s champ, or after benoit loses it to someone (possibly hardy). the feud with finlay was OK...to say the least, i hope he makes the 3rd spot in the MITB ladder match, just to add to the rivalry, because they couldn't have a match :(. i see lashley winning the feud in the end, though.

IF he gets better on the mic, then in a couple years, he could possibly be the next whc.

Big, athletic, raw talent.  But I agree, other than squash matches and a short feud with Finlay, we havn't seen much of Lashley, so we really don't know the extent of what he can do.  If he can build up decent mic skills, then that's all he'll need to be a success.

Has tons of potential. However, he was called up a year too early. Send him back to OVW for further development. He needs to be a little more comfortable on the mic. Besides, i loved how Heyman booked him throughout the fall. Lashley is the ultimate "cool tweener." When he's ready, i'd book him as someone's tag team partner or an enforcer for a stable. I'm telling you now, Ken Kennedy, Johnny Jeter, Kid Kash, and Bobby Lashley as a faction on Smackdown could be just as popular as DX.

I think he's great. He hasn't got mic skills, but he really doesn't need to cut promo's to get his message across.

His short fued with Finlay was awesome, it even made me like Finlay :o

He reminds me a lot of Brock Lesnar, and if he plays his cards right, he could be WWE/WH champion just like Lesnar....maybe even before 2006 is over.

I tend to agree with that..... I mean I really haven't seen him take much in an actual match and at this point, I'm a little suspicious about his stamina for a match that runs longer than 5 minutes.

I'm excited about this dude.  I've never seen him on the mic, but from what I've read it's not so great.  Maybe they can just give him a manager like the one Davari (sp?) plays or Heyman played for Brock.  Or he can be like Goldberg, make a big entrance, say "So, you wanna know who's next?....your next!" and then leave.......lmao.

If they book him right he will go to very high places. His feud with Finlay was good, entertaining, and nice to see. They need to keep putting him in some more mid card feuds, maybe put the US title on him, and show what he can do. Then he will be World champ material.

I really like the way they have been booking his non-squash matches,  either with a technical veteran (Finlay) or in Tag-Team action.  He is still not quite polished enough to take on some of the other guys but I have a feeling he will be in championship contention soon enough.

Actually he was choke slammed by Kane and Big Show.  Triple H was the man who eliminated both of them, at the same time I might add.

I thought Trips knocked them both out of the ring... in fact I'm almost positive.
