Saw this on the reddit thread, thought I'd share.

This happened after a ECW PPV

"The next day, December 4, Heyman and McMahon among those flying to Charleston, South Carolina, Heyman pitched opening the December 5 ECW show with Ariel and Kelly in a match, telling viewers interviews with Lashley, Van Dam, and Punk were going on right then and would be seen later in the show. McMahon didn’t like the idea, fearing fans in the arena would chant for Punk. Heyman asked why that was a bad thing, as it showed the fans cared about someone on the flagging ECW show. McMahon reportedly threw his glasses on the floor and shouted, “Get this through your thick fucking head—my focus is on Bobby Lashley and only Bobby Lashley! That man is the brand's icon, the brand's superhero. He is ECW and he will be, at the expense of Rob Van Dam, CM Punk, Test, and everyone else, and you can hit the door if don't like it!”

And now lashley is in TNA lol

 

[Chris JeriG.O.A.T]

Lol do people talk like that in real life?

 

[Trivette]

The logic behind the 2015 Royal Rumble match's booking affirmed.

Pretty crazy stuff. I do think Lashley could have been a big deal in WWE but you should never have to hold any talent back to extent Vince does to push another wrestler.

I liked lashley he was cool in my book.

 

[SKYE-BLUE-SHIVVY]

Never change Vince. You still dont get it and i am enjoying the freefall of your ratings.

 

[Godway]

Shouldn't this be a positive as it showed Vince doesn't really hate black people?

This guy beat me to it. No more excuses for those "why no black wwe champion, rock is Samoan" threads.

Most of the time people mention old stories about Vince he sounds like a complete arsehole.

Assuming he actually said that which we should believe, why?

"Listin Dunn screw the Coyote Reject Ambrose and his Asylym. Screw Cesaro and his stupid section. Screw the Eater of Worlds. Don't you get it its all about my main boy Roman, we go way back. Now if you don't get I am going to come back and throw my other glasses on the floor!". As it is why would Vince, if he Is a reasonable, decent human being (WEll he is isin't he, is their any reason to think he hates anyone). Hate black people? If this is true then their you go. Yeah Rock's samoan, but he is of color. Reigns has one advantage over everyone in WWE right now, he's Vinces boy.

“Get this through your thick fucking head—my focus is on Reigns and Cena and only Reigns and Cena! They are the faces of the WWE and at the expense of Ambrose, Ziggler, and everyone else, and you can hit the door if you don't like it!” This type of decision making and micromanaging is nothing more than dictatorship that should not be tolerated. That egotism is what killed ECW, it could do the same for the WWE too!

 

[DGenerationMC]

Please, for the love of God, tell me Vince really did not say that.

 

[skarvika]

I loved Lashley but damn, Vince is a freakin' buffoon.

 

[Mastodonic]

I've read the whole story about the December to Dismember debacle between Vince and Heyman. He's either been out of touch far longer than people realise or he doesn't care what the fans want, only what HE wants and the fans better suck it up and learn to love it, damnit.

 

[Not Lying]

Oh crap Lashley... god THE HORRIBLE SUPERMAN-PUSH BOOKING OF 2007, winning everything , breaking the master-lock challenge with no build-up, it was horrible.
I can't believe that I survived a time where Lashley, Batista and Cena were all world champions.

 

[Mr. WrestleMania]

Never change Vince. You still dont get it and i am enjoying the freefall of your ratings.

Gotta love this kind of history repeating itself. :lol

I'm personally enjoying how fucked the WM card is going to be this year in comparison to what it could've been. They are literally fucked; no exaggeration.

 

[Krokro]

Guys Vince also told me that he hates Daniel Bryan.


In all seriousness despite the lack of credibility, I can believe he wanted Lashley to be their guy, which is a good thing isn't it? I mean his entire way of saying it (if he said it like that) is fucked, but he likes black dudes! Woo.
