Hard-hitting and soft-spoken, Bobby Lashley has become one of the few rookies to have a strong influence in a major wrestling company like WWE (formally WWF). Get a glimpse into the life of this former pro-wrestler.
BATTLE OF THE BILLIONAIRES
Lashley worked closely with U.S President Donald Trump a decade ago during the build to WrestleMania 23. Trump and Vince McMahon were caught up in a “Battle of the Billionaires,” and Lashley, representing Trump, crushed Umaga, which permitted Trump to shave McMahon’s head. “It was one of the largest WrestleMania’s in history, it was an incredible experience. That’s one thing, love him or hate him, he (Donald Trump) brought a lot of attention to our match and that was a big thing. I mean, I’m not really going to sit here and get into some kind of a political debate about whether or not he’s doing good or bad because that’s irrelevant. We’re talking about our wrestling match and in our wrestling match, I think he did an incredible job and helped that wrestling match to be the biggest in WrestleMania’s history,” says Lashley.
ON LEAVING WWE FOR MMA
“There’s a time when you have to focus on different things, and for me now is the time. I think it’s a perfect time for me to step ahead and focus on things that are going to garnish and bring me a little bit more money. My whole mission and goal with whatever I do, whether it's fighting or wrestling is to feed my kids well. Presently, I’m getting support from the mixed martial art so that’s what exactly I’m going to do.”
