In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet for Insight (via Wrestling Inc.), Bobby Lashley reflected on his memorable feud with Vince McMahon over the ECW Championship in the mid-2000s. Lashley described the storyline as a “great story,” acknowledging its impact on both his career and WWE programming at the time. The rivalry, which saw Vince McMahon unexpectedly capture the ECW title, shocked fans and became a pivotal moment in WWE history. Lashley discussed the creative direction of the feud, the challenges it presented, and how it ultimately played a significant role in his rise as a major WWE star.
Bobby Lashley said:
“I never understood what he was saying at the time. I was like, you’ll get it all back, what are you talking about? You guys have me down. But that was a great story, and he taught me a great story. The whole crowd, [were] just like, kill him. And then the minute I grabbed Vince, boom, they were on me. So it took it away. We had a lot of heat with that story. Of course when he won the ECW title and he came in wearing a do-rag.”
