If he could healthily gain and lose the weight, I'd be down for The Unworthy Bobby Lashley.

[@ryanm7905]

There's no healthy way to become fat.

[@etherealtide]

I like it, kinda reminds me of Undashing Cody

[@InfamousCue]

Like Unhappy Corbin 😂

[@jimmyvega3735]

he just wants to eat what he wants for a year

[@Arukea]

Reminds me of Thor lmao

[@kimmomac4082]

This storyline legit needs to happen do you know how many people will legit be inspired to want to lose weight if this fool went and did a fat Thor oh my God

[@JarrettWilliam]

He was just fired. What if that is the beginning of this storyline?

[@antcash1111]

@@JarrettWilliam he didn’t get fired, AP said he took it back

Fool ? That's rude

[@overlordghosthd7428]

He's 46 years old he's doing none of that fat Thor mumbo jumbo

[@letsoffend695]

That's actually a good storyline for mental health and depression. Seriously good thinking Bobby regardless of that was his intent it's cool.

[@jooreff]

I doubt Bobby shares an obsession with mental health like most zoomers lol

[@letsoffend695]

@@jooreff oh I doubt mental health was his intent but it would be a good side effect of the story he wanted to tell.

[@rubenlopezjr8733]

Please do

[@Motorata661]

I like it but i understand why Vince said no, there isn´t enough people that can do what Bobby can do, People would miss the muscular superhero and my be put off. It think it would pay off but it would be risky,Having the almighty character already there it would be seen unnecesary

[@zombievikinggaming4258]

He just wanted a bulk season squeezed into his career

[@alanheyes694]

Pretty much. Come back over three hundred pounds. Just a tank.

[@soulofanerd9364]

Fat and bulking ain't the same

[@Big_H2]

You mean dirty bulk

[@TheKyleMark]

@@soulofanerd9364 I mean it kinda is. Can’t gain one without the other. That’s why fat dudes who lose the weight while preserving their muscle as best as they can almost always look fairly yoked underneath.

[@J.Wiki23]

​@@soulofanerd9364 it's dirty bulking. Still bulking regardless if your training regime consists of progressive overload.

[@Grillmonger]

Vince was like "No way you can do that, Bobby.... Hey Corbin, get in here I got an idea!"

[@jms7265]

😂😂😂😂👉

[@dharantejav3375]

Honestly baron corbin could've been a badass heel, but they made him a comedian 🤦

[@lamarrwelch88lw]

🤣🤣🤣

[@WFXMedia]

Didn't CM Punk say that happened to him when he pitched an idea to Vince then turned around an used it for someone else? I forgot what and who tho🤔..

[@SuperSaiyanD48]

​@@WFXMediaMark Henry. Brodus Clay supposedly came up with the idea for the Hall of Pain, and they rejected it and gave it to Mark instead.

[@LOSKOSKI]

It's said often about different people but Lashley looks like he's hardly 25 and has looked the same since I first seen him wrestle. Amazing.

[@TheDragosdragos]

he does look younger than his age but he doesnt look any younger than 37-38 mate

[@Heavy_C]

That’s like how Morgan Freeman looked 40 for about 30 years 🤣

[@fusrodah4663]

I stopped watching wwe like 10 years ago when I saw that Bobby Lashley is still competing I said DAMN I know the undertaker and Kane did it for 20 plus years but I was still like DAMN

[@PBMdanya]

Bobby has good genes.

[@jamaaldagreatest2748]

He really does have good genes and probably the most intense work ethic. Like when brock first came back look at the difference in his body. Yeah he could still eat me but he didn’t have that muscle definition like he used to. Bobby came back and still looked like a video game character

[@lylaznboi01]

The dude really wants to pull a Christian Bale or a Tom Hardy move for WWE.

[@LouChivas914]

50 cent too

[@alexanderball6326]

Rob McElhenney

[@teyvang3953]

If anyone could pull that character off, it is definitely this man.

[@TheAustinKendall]

IMAGINE THE MEMES! Fat and Sad Bobby memes!

[@H.K.5]

Yeah the guy has crazy discipline.

[@thebigdog5269]

I’d genuinely be into it, the crowd is already behind Bobby naturally so this would get them even more on his side

[@wilfordbrimley6938]

Mac from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia 🤣

[@oshikuru09]

Bobby doing mac's coming out dance would make WWE jump the shark. They could never top that lol

[@Mike-ze1by]

How did you know that's what I was thinking.

[@KingLex87]

😂😂😂 He would say that he's not fat he's cultivating mass

[@retro_jandro7530]

"Breathe and eat separately."

[@Arisconleche]

This story would hit great with the current generation of done right, mental health is big and some one going through depression and being brought back by people who care about you could be pretty big

[@haywardhummus8777]

I agree whole heartedly that this would be great to see however, knowing WWE they would have him mocked for a while and come up with names and embarrassing angles for Lashley. I just don’t see them taking it serious

[@natronsneed8011]

Bobby’s only 47 and still In amazing shape

[@Trayxxxx]

His workout regimen is ridiculous. Just as warm ups alone are brutal. (To me, not.....not to him.)

[@blacksheep7741]

He's 42

[@thegreatdel9679]

@@Trayxxxx😂 it’s more about taking care of your skin to have a youthful face

[@GuiItyUniverse]

This is a brilliant idea for a story. So many people that watch could go on this journey with him. Inspiring shit.

[@Chefrondon]

Exactly, he would inspire people, it could even turn into a reality show on the WWE network

[@mjohn3126]

Honestly as long as his health isn’t at risk, I’d love to see this over like a year long storyline. This would be great

[@jsan118]

Dude got “fired” recently by Adam Pearce.. watch this story line end up happening

[@GHOSTHOUSEJD]

I was looking for this comment, was thinking the same thing

[@sneakykamon]

Yooooo!😮I was just thinking that!😂

[@mikemiken1963]

Thats part of bringing back hurt business.

[@BIGGDAVE064]

Now Triple H has plans to repackage The Hurt Business to take on The Bloodline

[@thenightmare92]

They literally did a watered down version of this when Corbin was down on his luck, went broke then got his fortune back at the casino then did the Happy Corbin gimmick. Believe Vince stole that idea from Bobby just to use it on a different guy.

[@IMeanIGuessWhatevs]

An MCU Thor moment would be such a cool idea and add some dimension to Bobby. I wanna see it!

[@jms7265]

Lashley, wanna go fat Thor? Nah leave that for after you win your 3rd WWE Title Dominantly.

[@shaungarrett5291]

If that story line gets The Hurt Business back together, then I'm all for it.

[@stayfresh2468]

I'm glad his voice has improved since he debut in 05

[@Bones4Hire]

I haven’t watched WWE in years, I would tune in for this.

[@Thelonedrifter]

BDE fans we're getting Bobby Nasty!

[@Doby9X]

thank you

[@itizwhatitiz9560]

If he can do it, that would be a fantastic storyline. Because we don't see much physical storytelling done in WWE. If we see him change physically, get fat, we get more connected to him and if he can revert it back. It would honestly make him a big face

[@theone3129]

That’s a very inspirational storyline, I swear I would be down to see it!!

[@Gboogs24]

Sounds kinda like the baron corbin storyline where he lost everything and went into a deep depression

[@juniorhernandez3347]

Came back with new clothes…. That’s it.

@@juniorhernandez3347 sounds like his was a more tame version than Lashley’s

​@@juniorhernandez3347 no he literally got a streak of luck and won at the slots.. WWE destroyed the potential, but it wasn't "just new clothes"

[@jvjustvibes9103]

That would honestly be such a great storyline. The amount of people it could help seeing him come back would be great. It’d be a super inspirational story

[@copekillzz]

I know it would be unhealthy for Bobby to do this, but I like his thought process about fan participation

[@ceoofgoogle817]

Actors and mma fighters do this all the time. He'll be fine

[@copekillzz]

@CEO of Google both aren't great examples since both are riddled with chaotically unstable people..I'm sure he'd be fine also, but I just don't feel it's worth the risk

[@magnificusB]

This could help and inspire SO MANY people.

[@Mid-AirMan]

This would elevate him in my mind, plus he seems legitimately excited by the idea. Would love to see it happen.

[@187btokes]

That would be actually sick. It's original, and people would have no choice but to buy in because it is real

[@cjpockets]

Man I love me some Robert Lashley

[@STEDEL82]

Sheesh. That would be bizarre for him because I can tell he's a supreme health buff.

[@Xone9]

So basically Thor in Endgame.

[@maxbillig4255]

Mac from its always sunny gained and lost 60 pounds for a single season. I’d love to see Bobby do it too

[@kingofthemultiverse4148]

Man, this really shows Bobby got no insecurities, he is secure in who he is, and is open to experimentation.

[@whydoesthisexistpod]

[@drawingsnwordz]

Corbin kinda did that from Sad to Happy Corbin... minus the weight gain

[@MrClawmaster]

[@zwebackshyper9307]

that's genuinely a good idea if done right and in the most healthy way possible and if anyone can pull it off its bobby

[@98kreB]

I feel like he wants to make this character as an excuse to not go to the gym everyday for a few months and I’m for it

[@JackgarPrime]

Oh he would definitely still be in the gym everyday. What it would really do is let him be way less strict on his diet!

[@Mathias6x]

He'll get released half way through his transformation knowing Vince 😂🤣

[@TurtleShellConcrete]

BOOK IT! I watch every week for that storyline

[@majestikbouba9456]

That would be a good arc! We need some ‘undashing’ Bobby Lashley

[@FloridaManRacer]

As someone else said, as long as he can do it in a somewhat healthy manner, I think that'd honestly be pure gold lol. Vince liked to shoot down good ideas from other people to create his own ideas that made him happy and no one else. That's the #1 reason (actual business-wise) I'm glad that old crusty fart is gone... HHH has been killing it overall since taking over and I want him to have a long time at the helm to really flesh out his ideas and his direction because I honestly think he can do a better job than Vince ever did, even during the attitude era. You let this guy run wild and you'll be shocked.

[@Wazzles96]

Jeez imagine that's what he's doing right now 😂

[@mileswashington6692]

That’s what I’m thinking

[@xdeejae99]

Ohh actually I seen that he’s be storyline fired sooo possibly he will be bigger when he returns 👀 wow

[@sixpathskaiokentv]

10000000% this needs to be done. I Guarantee it would inspire so many people

[@atlien1988]

This would be such an amazing storyline & one of the greatest of all time because it’s so grounded & real. People would buy into this instantly as they’d see Bobby sink into depression, then fight to overcome that by getting back to peak shape & overall health. The fact that they didn’t immediately go to doing this storyline (in a safe & respectful way) is just asinine. Then think about him getting over with The Hurt Business once he reclaims his glory. Gold!!

[@Klippa403]

If it worked for Mac on Sunny, it can work for Bobby. 😂

[@booboo7502]

If anyone could pull that sort of physical transformation off, I think Bobby is the one. He’s always been a beast, and in superb shape. Seeing him carrying extra fat around, depressed, I think would add a really cool dynamic to his characters legacy. Let’s do it papa H!

[@forgottenmma3694]

Honestly that would have been a great storyline

[@Ctallyonz]

“I wanna be fat then inject myself for a comeback story” Bobby underrated. Definitely my favourite powerhouse growing up as a kid 💯

[@ohmannotnow272]

[@slanderman3296]

This is 1000 amazin and absolutely unique.

[@Azazel-bj5iy]

[@marvin3872]

This kinda reminds me of when Matt Hardy version 1 was cutting weight to challenge for the cruiser weight championship. Great storyline

[@brysonoduyela5779]

So a better version of the Sad Corbin storyline. I’d honestly be into seeing that. Maybe it’s how the Hurt Business gets back together.

[@faisalwani1239]

It's cool to see all these Big guys who look scary and serious about everything when in character, actually have a good sense of humour

[@theclonemachine8782]

That is the best storyline for Lashley that has ever been presented he would get over big time with the wrestling fans

[@YakBat]

I need this NOW!

[@certifiedfnhater4038]

I don’t watch wrestling but that would be a good story line imo. We get to see this man “sink “ into a depression to have his friends come and help him out. It would resonate with a lot of ppl
