WWE Star, Who Destroyed Brock Lesnar, Once Pitched a “Severe Depression” Storyline to Vince McMahon: “Just be Fat”

WWE’s characters and plot lines are what set it apart from other professional wrestling organizations. And former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was the key creative force behind many of the characters. So, last year, when McMahon was still running the company, Bobby Lashley, who is currently engaged in a feud with Brock Lesnar, once proposed a character to the company, but McMahon rejected it.

On the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Lashley admitted he had planned to adopt a character change that had depression after he faced a loss. And in this storyline, he would have put on weight and just be obese. However, McMahon eventually decided not to go with the character.

He stated, “I told Vince a year ago, I think a year or two ago, I told him, I want to do this character. He said, ‘What is it?’ I said, If I get beat one time, I want to go into the severe depression and put on like 40, 50, 60, or 70 pounds and just be fat.” Lashley added, “And then be a completely different character. And then have like somebody like an MVP, or somebody that’s on my side, kind of like, pull me back and then have the crowd watch his transition back to me. He said, ‘There’s no way you can do that.’ I said, ‘Man, I think I can.'”

Many people are aware of McMahon’s past, which tells that he wanted to avoid characters who were just a little bit overweight since he preferred his wrestlers to be in peak physical condition. McMahon may have rejected the proposal for this reason. Nevertheless, it seems rather intriguing.

Bobby Lashley is set to face Brock Lesnar once again

These days, Lashley is among the most well-known superstars in the company. Brock Lesnar’s pre-match attack last week also brought an untimely end to his reign. Lashley concentrated on Lesnar, therefore Seth Rollins was able to successfully dethrone Lashley as champion.

After The Almighty overpowered The Beast Incarnate in the 2022 Royal Rumble, there is a lot of intensity in the feud. It will be intriguing to see who wins this time at Crown Jewel since Lesnar and Lashley still have unresolved issues.
