I was just thinking that Lashley seems to get a lot heat around here and I am not sure why.
The criteria for heat usually contains:
1)No ring skills and uses the same 5 moves. Lashley has pretty good ring skills and is athletic, and has to my knowledge like 3 or 4 finishing moves anyways.
2) An extended title run. Lashley held the ECW belt for 4 months the first time, and then 1-2 weeks the second time.
3) No mic Skills. Well he has none, but his gimmick is that he is a "hard hittin', soft spoken" guy.
So why does everyone dislike Lashley so much?

For me, I just think back to his match he had with Benoit (who1?!) at the draft thing.
I'll admit Lashley can wrestle at times, but part of wrestling is showing the other person can wrestle too.

One other word: No. I think the reason people don't like lashley is because hes too much like john cena, mr. i overcome the odds, i was shocked that at the bash wwe didn't figure out a way to have both cena and lashley win(then again they had chyna and jericho both hold the IC title at the same time) i think a new gimmick would help him out.

Because he never should have been ECW champion in the first place - and the only reason he went to ECW, was because he was whining like a bitch, backstage about being 'unhappy' on Smackdown... My main issue with Bobby Lashley, is that he was given too much, too soon... If he did more things like he did to Carlito on RAW, and he was still at mid-card level - where he should be, he wouldn't be so bad... Yes, he's athletic and he's got some rings-skill... The thing is, he was over-pushed, when he didn't deserve it - mainly because he's a former Army guy... and Vince has a hard-on, for anything US Army...

I just don't like good guys unless they have been around for a long time, like DX, Foley, Taker, etc. If Lashley turned heel he'd be one of my favourite, I believe his ring skills are underrated.

I dont like him because WWE is pushing him down my throat. Same with Cena. WWE should realize, they don't make the stars, the fans do. You can't just push someone overnight and say, oh now he's a main eventer...

I think Lashley could have some great in-ring skills. It's just that WWE likes Big guys to just do power moves.

..There's nothing to him?
He can hold a meaningless title for months and power his way through 567 squash matches.
Yawn, it's been done before; if he had any mic skills worth noting, maybe I might give him a shot.

I still think WWE should turn Bobby Lashley heel and give him an army silver medalist gimmick. Give him army camelflouge trunks, and let him wear his silver medal out to the ring like Kurt Angle did. I can just picture Bobby Lashley looking into the camera holding his medal in front of the camera saying... "I'm a three-time National Amateur Wrestling Champion, four-time All-American, two-time Armed Forces Champion and a 2002 thilver Medalist at the Military World Championship... you're just a bathturd."

I hate Lashley because he's way too green to be in the spot that he is in. He went from a mid-carder on Smackdown who couldn't beat Booker T and could BARLEY beat Finlay, to all of a sudden he is unbeatable in ECW destroying people like Big Show, Sandman, Dreamer and RVD.....that makes no sense.
Now all of a sudden he is on RAW going for the WWE title......I just think they are rushing him too much. If they had slowed down with Bobby Lashley I really think they could have improved the Intercontinental title division and established Lashley more....Because the IC title has also become a joke.
Instead they pushed Lashley too fast and nobody buys that this guy would do that stuff this fast.
