Miz chose to cower out and stall for time, while Braun Strowman picked that moment to demand a title opportunity, resulting in a match being booked the following week and Lashley having to beat Strowman to keep The Monster Among Men out of it. Lashley defeated Strowman to his own surprise, intercepted Miz's post-match run-in to beat him down for his troubles. March 1 saw Miz trying to worm his way out of the match via such tactics as trying to make a deal with Drew McIntyre to screw Lashley, pretending to have stomach cramps backstage, literally taking the title and running away as soon as the bell rang, questioning what kind of champion Lashley would be, then trying to cut and run again at the end of the night—before Shane McMahon finally shut him down by turning it into a Lumberjack Match. Cue one contender for the most merciless Curb-Stomp Battle in The New Twenties WWE. Miz chose the hard way, Lashley kept his word. And most agree that it was indeed awesome. | |

Arch-Enemy: Finlay, for being the one who ended his undefeated streak (he lost to JBL but it was because of Finlay) and for repeatedly hitting him with a shillelagh. Umaga was set up as one by Vince McMahon due to his desire for the ECW title Lashley had and for Lashley being the chosen wrestler of Donald Trump. Elias in fall 2018. Post Royal Rumble 2019 his main rival has been Finn Bálor, though he also occasionally assisted The Shield's enemies. Braun Strowman in middle 2019. Apollo Crews and Retribution in 2020. Drew McIntyre, Goldberg, Randy Orton and Big E for the WWE Championship. MVP and Omos after his Heel–Face Turn. Brock Lesnar in early 2022 and late 2022. Seth Rollins and Austin Theory for the United States Championship. Karrion Kross in early 2024. | |

Does Not Know His Own Strength | |
Bobby Lashley (Wrestling) / int_38291355 | comment |
Does Not Know His Own Strength: Since Lashley could already do legit body slams, he did not realize there was a cooperative version used for worked matches and continued to do the lift legitimately while trying to hold back on the slam itself. The first time an "opponent", or rather interfering manager, tried to "assist" Lashley, Lashley put him in the hospital since Blaster was used to putting so much more force into the move. | |

Batman Gambit | |
Bobby Lashley (Wrestling) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: With the help of his manager MVP, Lashley struck a deal with The Miz back at Elimination Chamber 2021 to help him beat Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship using the Money in the Bank contract. Bobby then immediately got dibs on the belt in spite of Miz's incessant stalling, ultimately defeating The Miz and winning the title eight days later on Raw. It was clear from the start that Lashley and MVP saw it much easier for Bobby to take out a weakened champion after the Elimination Chamber match and let Miz cash in and steal the title so that The All Mighty could cut in line and defeat a paper champion, than to become #1 contender and go at McIntyre or any other competent titleholder directly in order to win the championship. In hindsight, this also had the bonus of removing a potential cashing in of Miz's MITB briefcase by having him cash in on the previous champ beforehand. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: Lashley repaid The Miz's attempts to cheat him out of a WWE championship opportunity by absolutely vaporizing him and taking the title by force. What little offense Miz managed only seemed to make him angrier, if anything. | |

Would Hurt a Child | |
Bobby Lashley (Wrestling) / int_479d4e5a | comment |
Would Hurt a Child: Subverted during his 2021 feud with Goldberg. After defending his WWE Championship at SummerSlam, Lashley and MVP continued to attack Goldberg only for his son Gage to jump the rail and go after Lashley, who retaliated by putting him in a Hurt Lock. However, he did relent after MVP got him to realize who he was attacking, and in later promos MVP made it a point to tell everyone that Gage went at Lashley first, from behind (thus Lashley was unable to see who it was) and he reacted in self-defense. Didn't stop Goldberg from repeatedly swearing revenge and even screaming bloody murder. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
Bobby Lashley (Wrestling) / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: A gradual one in OVW, as he steadily refused to help his Bolin Services teammates (especially Ken Doane) win matches, since he increasingly did not get their help (not that he needed it). Happened again in TNA, as his increasing dominance as TNA World Champion made MVP feel the need to step up more to protect Lashley and control his championship schedule while he felt he didn't need it. Then after he lost the title to Bobby Roode, MVP talked his way into taking a title shot for himself while getting increasingly arrogant about "making" Lashley successful in TNA. By the time the Beat Down Clan became firmly established and helped him win the title back, he'd already grown tired of MVP and started embracing the fans' solidarity again. So he left, becoming the stable's enemy…and ironically, its last remnant. | |

Prejudiced For Pecs: Just look at the page photo. His only competition in WWE for pectoral superiority is Big E. It's one of the reasons for the Narmy Vocal Dissonance; a guy who is built like a brick wall should not have the kind of high, soft voice that he does. In true professional wrestling fashion, it is also said to be the reason why he was booked to win the ECW title ahead of the smaller CM Punk. It became a central issue in his feud with Mr. Kennedy and MVP (not directly between them, but JBL constantly accused general manager Theodore Long of favoring wrestlers like Batista and Lashley because of their build). | |

Face Your Fears: Fear of a freakishly athletic worm eating body builder who fights with shards of glass embedded in his head is a perfectly understandable fear for a professional wrestler, but Lashley overcoming the fear of the Boogeyman haunting his gym worked out well for both of them, as it lead to a successful Tag Team. | |

Juxtaposed Halves Shot | |
Bobby Lashley (Wrestling) / int_81045f89 | comment |
Juxtaposed Halves Shot: WWE got a lot of flack for putting him in one with Marcus Cor Von on the poster for an ECW pay per view. Besides maybe the fact the two were nearly the exact same size, there was no reason to do this, since Bobby was in the main event and Marcus was a jobber, and there was next to nothing going on in between them, past or future. | |

Jerk Jock: As a heel, his character naturally tends toward this trope, given his legitimate athletic background. Perhaps the best example of this was his run of dominance in 2016 TNA, where he smiled and pretended to be friendly to his opponents while telling them to their faces that they weren't good enough to beat him. | |

While it was all true, he usually did beat someone and was very capable of speaking, they had a good reason to insist on being his mouthpieces. | |

"Walking Armageddon". In his WWE heel run, his manager Lio Rush took to calling him "The All Mighty" (and the nickname stayed with Lashley for years to come) — which could also overlap with Blasphemous Boast depending on your particular belief system. | |

Face–Heel Turn | |
Bobby Lashley (Wrestling) / int_af3ea0e3 | comment |
Face–Heel Turn: In TNA his turn came about when he asked to be released from the company. This was because his wife Krystal had been attacked multiple times by Scott Steiner. Lashley said it was so he could focus on his MMA career, but in prior weeks, Krystal had stated she preferred attending Bobby's MMA matches because no one ever assaulted her during those. This evidently did not get enough of a negative response because he soon resorted to randomly attacking people to get his release. He did it in WWE after mercilessly attacking the already injured knee of Kevin Owens, much to the boos of the crowd. This act also served as a Face/Heel Double-Turn that solidified when Owens finally returned from injury as a face-leaning tweener. | |

The Ace | |
Bobby Lashley (Wrestling) / int_b5b4b077 | comment |
The Ace: In WWE's ECW. He didn't even lose the ECW title in his second reign — he was forced to vacate it because he got drafted to Raw. Since he was never beaten for it, this technically makes him the strongest wrestler in WWECW's brief history. Even how he lost it the first time was full of shenanigans that didn't make it a clean loss.note A 3-on-1 handicap match between Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon and Umaga, which was mostly Umaga (the only actual wrestler out of the three) beating the crap out of Lashley before Vince tagged himself in for the pin). This is also one of the reasons why he and CM Punk (his successor as The Ace of the brand) were largely kept apart from each other despite being on ECW's roster at the same time for several months and Punk being booked to be the best wrestler on ECW after Lashley (complete with a six-month undefeated streak), which should've made him a natural choice for number one contender — the bookers didn't want either of them to damage each other's credibility because they knew Lashley wasn't going to be on ECW for long. | |

Irony: When the Beat Down Clan got established with a name after helping him win back the TNA world title from Bobby Roode, he chose to leave anyway because of his issues with MVP and ended up becoming one of the stable's enemies as well as its first defector. With the Hernandez contract debaclenote MVP brought Hernandez back to TNA to be part of the BDC after he left Lucha Underground, but the man was still under contract to LU; TNA had to scrap weeks of plans for the BDC and cut Hernandez loose, and as punishment they also dropped MVP forcing the stable to dissolve and TNA not having plans for the other members in the aftermath, Lashley was literally the last former member of the BDC left in TNA before he took off in 2018.note Eric Young stayed in TNA the longest out of the others and had been aligned with the Clan since turning heel on the first show of 2015, but he was always stated to be an ally rather than a member. Low Ki ended up coming back again in 2017 before leaving again later that year. Lashley, on the other hand, was consistently a big part of the roster for three whole years after leaving the stable. Also, in 2007, he became the first man to cleanly break out of Chris Masters' finisher, the Master Lock - a full nelson submission hold. Eventually he started using the full nelson as a finisher himself, calling it the Hurt Lock. | |

Charles Atlas Superpower He's hit the Dominator on The Big Show and on Viscera. During a locker room fight with Finlay that spilled out of the arena, he attempted to crush the Irishman by flipping a car over on him. (Finlay moved, obviously, but still.) His response to being taunted by Umaga's manager outside of a steel cage was to knock down the wall of the cage on Umaga by doing a senton bomb on it. (He hurt himself there, but still.) He is also the first (and officially only) person to beat the Master Lock challenge (John Cena also did it at a live event). His second run with WWE proved he still has it when, during a Christmas-themed street fight with Elias, he got thrown off the top rope onto a pile of LEGOs. If that's not a testament to Lashley's toughness, it's hard to find anything that is. | |

Bobby Lashley (Wrestling) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: His "All Mighty WWE Champion" stint in 2021 run evokes elements of both his 2014 and 2016-17 heel runs as the TNA/Impact World Heavyweight Champion. He has MVP as his business manager, strategist, and primary spokesman, and had additional black backup in the beginning just as he did early in his TNA return. However, the mere fact that he's had years to come into his own in the promotion, leading to the clear directive that Lashley IS the intended leading heel champion of his brand and not a mere backup plan, in addition to his ability to speak and deliver on loud, boisterous, short-burst promos, all makes for a far closer parallel to his later dominance of Impact Wrestling. | |

Crossover: Fought in Bellator while he was TNA's World Heavyweight Champion because Spike TV wanted TNA to add more mixed martial arts to its programing. | |

Cue the Flying Pigs: Actually defeating Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules 2018. And doing so by countering Roman's spear with another spear, no less! | |

One-Steve Limit: Ignored by Antonio Inoki's IGF, where he was put in a tag team with Bob Sapp. Noticed in TNA, where they will avoid calling him "Bobby" when Bobby Roode is around. | |

Would Hit a Girl: Defeated Alexis Laree in a second round match in the OVW Television Title Tournament on the May 28 (taped May 24), 2005 episode of OVW TV after she had defeated his teammate, Mike Mondo. It wasn't something he wanted to do - he asked Alexis to withdraw - but another Bolin Services teammate, Ms. Blue, decided to hit the ring and attack Alexis, so Bobby had to go save her, and once Ms. Blue was out of the ring and Bobby was in, the match had officially started. That said, he probably could have put Alexis down with something softer than a running power slam, and definitely did not have to give her a second one after his victory. | |

Nobody Calls Me "Chicken"!: Overruled MVP's denial of further title shots for Bobby Roode when Roode accused Lashley of being afraid of him, or really, even doubting he could beat him. In actuality, Kurt Angle was going to overrule MVP either way after having taken MVP's job as TNA's director of wrestling operations, but Roode's accusations sped up the process. | |
