WWE Champion Bobby Lashley recently appeared as a guest on the Kinda Fun Sports podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.

During his appearance on the show, The Hurt Business member spoke about his belief that some online trolls on social media are just wrestlers under secondary accounts trying to take his spot, WWE trying to elevate babyfaces with him in a top heel spot and more.

Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.

On feeling like it’s possible that some online trolls are wrestlers on secondary accounts trying to take his spot: “One, I know a lot of ‘em are bots of guys that are in the locker room with me trying to hate on me so that they can get my spot. I’m 100 percent sure it is. I’m 100 percent sure it is. I’m not saying it is and when I say that, you got several different organizations and thousands of wrestlers so I’m not saying any particular one, but I’m saying it is a cutthroat business so, any little edge you can get on somebody else. But you know what I think? A lot of the times the office knows that. Some of these guys think they’re getting away with it and they’re b*tching and complaining. The office knows it. Some of the things that you try to do and try to get away with, it’s really not worth it.”

On wrestlers just needing to put in the work if they want to succeed: “It’s just put in the time, put in the work, try to figure out what your character is then you have fun with it. Just have fun and I think that’s the biggest thing is just let yourself loose and have fun, not caring about things.”

On his belief that WWE wants him to make their babyfaces come off as more likable to the fans: “I said, ‘You know what? They need me so that they can like their guys more,’ because if I’m out there, I don’t care if you don’t like me personally, you don’t like me anything. You know I’m a big, dangerous Black dude that’s in there that no matter who comes out of that curtain, there’s a huge obstacle and you don’t want me to do anything [bad] to that person, because if I do, you’re gonna be like, ‘This is bullsh*t. We want Finn [Balor] to kick his ass.’ He can’t! But if he does, you’re happy and if he doesn’t, you’re mad. So ultimately, I’m exactly what you guys want. I’m the heel.”
