Bobby Lashley to AEW?
The Hurt Syndicate
MVP and Shelton Benjamin have joined AEW in recent months. Now, they just await the third member of The Hurt Syndicate and that’s Bobby Lashley. The group were a faction ‘The Hurt Business’ on WWE TV during the pandemic era, but fans and competitors alike felt like the faction was cut short. Now, Bobby Lashley sat down with the Lame Guys Podcast to speak about AEW and MVP.
You think they have enough money for me? [Laughs] MVP is great. The one thing I know with Tony Khan, and this is one thing I’ve seen that’s really cool. The fans need to understand this because sometimes the fans come out and say, ‘They’re just getting old WWE guys.’ With any show, you need your guys that are established to help establish some guys that aren’t. MVP coming over brings a lot of notoriety and a fanbase and a level starting that they can use. Some of the guys there are fantastic wrestlers, they just need to be in the ring with certain (talent). If you put a fantastic wrestler in the ring with another fantastic wrestler and just try to sell the match, it’s hard because people are like, ‘Oh, well, they just did some cool stuff.’ Once you start mixing in different people like Daniel Bryan, Edge, Christian, Samoa Joe, those guys get a good rub off of them. What Tony Khan is doing, I’m still friends with MVP and I talk with him about going over there, I said, ‘How is it over there?’ The one thing people say when they are over there is ‘Tony Khan is a really good dude.’ He is genuinely saying to people over there, ‘You deserve to still carry on.’
Fans eagerly away where Bobby Lashley will be next.
