This professional wrestling article is a frequent target for editors to add a week-by-week synopsis of storyline events, unconfirmed information, rumors, and other content inappropriate to an encyclopedic article. Please make sure to familiarize yourself with what Wikipedia is not, and consider whether your additions to this article will serve to make the article larger and harder to edit for style, clarity, and grammar.

Entrance

Does anyone think Bobby Lashley´s new entrance since moving to ECW should be noted on trivia as formerly used by Brock Lesnar? if no say so untill it will be there.

Spear

I don't know why people keep changing spear off of bold. WWE.com recognizes it as his second finishing move. In WWE fantasy, they label it as his new finisher, added because of his recent usage. Other wrestling articles base finishers off of what wwe.com labels, so I don't see why it wouldn't work here. --Sentinel boy 20:50, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a finisher it is not on the WWE profile as a finisher and he has never used it to finish a match... it is not a finisher!!!!! --- Paulley 21:54, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Look in WWE Fantasy, they have added it as his second finisher. I am fairly certain he has won at least one match with it(I think it was Joey Mercury for some reason). For the most part, though, I'm basing it off of the fact that WWE.com is saying it. For example, the naming of Carlito's overdrive and rolling cutter were based off of what the WWE Fantasy section labeled for his finishers. --Sentinel boy 20:50, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He has never won a match with the move... i will admit its is his biggest signature move other than his Dominator finisher but he has yet to win a match with the move... Carlito's moves were used as finishers in OVW and WWE respectively and have both featured onhis WWE.com profile at somepoint with its naming... when, and only when, Lashley hits this move and pins an opponent will it become bolded.... ok so as soon as i see proof he has finished a match with it then you can do as you wish --- Paulley 08:48, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bobby Lashley has now won a KOTR semi-final match against Finlay with a Spear on SmackDown's 11/5 show in San Diego. I will now bold it as a result. But DO NOT italic bold it please. ;)

Scrum

Fair enough, but i dont think anyones gonna italic bold it... unless he starts calling it something different. --- Paulley

Why wouldnt it be italic bold.. he won the WWE US Champion from the move against JBL.. Not any different from Goldbergs using it as a finisher.. And it seems he stoped using the Dominator now.. I even heard the comentary call the running powerslam the Dominator once or twice. Im not saying it should be called that.

its a generic name... italics are used if he named the move --- Paulley 11:39, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ring name

His current ring name is not "Bobby Lashley," it is "Lashley." He was only called "Bobby Lashley" for about a month after his callup. Yeah, the ring announcer might still say "Bobby," but looky here, it's just "Lashley." Tromboneguy0186 21:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WWE rarely update there profiles so its now back to Bobby Lashley (Its what he's known as on the SD! Show BionicWilliam 02:22, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WWE have updated it. He is now officially called just Lashley. And rightly so, Bobby sounded too comedic. The only person that still says Bobby is the ring announcer.217.42.229.18 15:22, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've been hearing him as Bobby Lashley lately on TV, and not just by the ring announcer. --J Fred 06:54, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was not moved. Eugène van der Pijll 16:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Franklin Lashley → Bobby Lashley – Better known as Bobby. Seems to be supported by WP:NAME. --J Fred 06:18, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your opinion with ~~~~

Oppose - to early in his career real name is fine --- Paulley
Oppose - As Paulley implies, his ring name could change at any time. --Jtalledo (talk) 18:37, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose WWE can't seem to decide between "Lashley" and "Bobby Lashley," and even if they do lean toward "Bobby," it's not defintive. Tromboneguy0186 08:00, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

The general rule of thumb with professional wrestlers is to use their real life name instead, unless there's compelling evidence to do otherwise (i.e. a wrestler like The Rock who uses the name for his movie career). --Jtalledo (talk) 18:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But I remember when he was first signed, he was known as Bobby Lashley, so it sounds like he goes by Bobby outside the ring as well. --J Fred 19:07, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, in OVW, he was apparently known as "Blaster Lashley". [1] --Jtalledo (talk) 19:09, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not just talking about wrestling. I am under the impression that he was always known a Bobby. If someone can find proof to either support that or prove me wrong, feel free. --J Fred 21:10, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Did a google search for both Franklin Lashley and Bobby Lashley. Apparently when he was wrestling for college and the Army he was known a Franklin Lashley. I guess we should keep it at Franklin for now then. --J Fred 21:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What was with that thing about Lashley dieing?

I was on last night and the bio said that two weeks after his Elevated Enzimes he died in a car crash, was it the same thing as the Ron White Thing where it was just made up? Or was he really in a car crash?

That was vandalism and false information. To cause suspection just like this. Thoug the part about the elevated enzymes of the liver was real. --Mikedk9109 20:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ECW

Is on ECW offically or just temp. It had been rumored that he wanted to leave his Smackdown Contract.--Kevmicester2000 02:51, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I thought he had moved to ECW, due to being in the Extreme Elimination Chamber at December to Dismember, and because of this I edited the article saying he was performing for ECW. However, WWE.com is promoting a tag team match on Friday Night Smackdown with Booker and Finley vs. Batista and Lashley, so at the moment, I don't think we can know for sure. He's still listed under the Smackdown superstars, but WWE.com has been known before to not being the most punctual when it comes to adding superstars or changing what shows they're on. I saw on the article page he's just listed as performing for WWE, and I think that's the right move for now, at least until we know for sure which show he's on. Anakinjmt 21:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can I get some help with the finishing and signature moves section?

So, someone messed with the finishing and signature moves section. I'm doing my best, but I don't really know HTML code or Wiki code that well, so if someone that does know what they're doing can fix it, that'd be sweet. Anakinjmt 21:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed it. -- Mikedk9109 (talk) 22:07, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lashley is on ECW

Bobby Lashley is now on ECW; he signed the contract for the Elimination Chamber at an ECW Pay-Per-View; WWE.com states Lashley's last Smackdown match was tonight as he's headed for ECW; and all through the night Michael Cole kept saying Lashley was ECW bound. So, please, stop taking out the fact that he's on the ECW brand, as he is. Maybe you want him to stay on Smackdown, but that's no excuse for taking it out. Anakinjmt 03:23, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Again, until it is confirmed on WWE.com, and his profile is moved to the ECW section, then it stays as is. -- Mikedk9109 (talk) 03:25, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't it WWE.com OR announced on TV? I'm pretty sure it is. Matches are put that are announced on WWE television long before it ever gets up on the web. Now, the case for Survivor Series was different, as those matches were first unveiled on WWE.com. But, for this, it was announced on WWE television. Not to mention, WWE.com isn't the most punctual when it comes to updating profiles or moving them to different shows. It's been made official; therefore, it should be here. Anakinjmt 03:29, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He is officially on ECW now. He will be challenging the Big Show for the ECW championship in the Elimination Chamber, and Joey Stiles kept calling him "ECW's newest extremist." OR, maybe, but it is still official. I'm going to check WWE.com real quick. BRB, -- T H L^CCD 04:18, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, they haven't added him, but remember how long it took them to add Jeff Hardy? -- T H L^CCD 04:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If he appears on the next edition of ECW competing as an ECw star or his profile is moved then change it... but until then leave as is --- Paulley 15:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heres proof, from right here on WWE.com

The match marked Lashley’s final bout at SmackDown before he leaves to join ECW. The future extremist went out with a bang as he helped the Animal take on some formidable competition. -- Mikedk9109 (talk) 15:48, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

well, thats proof enough for me --- Paulley

And his profile is now in the Extremists section. -- Mikedk9109 (talk) 16:45, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Elevated enzymes in the liver

What does it mean to have elevated enzymes? How do you get this? And was this real or just a part of the show / coverup? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.248.238.6 (talk • contribs)

It means that you have too high of a concentration of certain proteins. It was real, and it is caused by the use of certain steroids. -- T H L^CCD 07:41, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

can sb change the photo of lashley? this one sucks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.218.42.248 (talk • contribs)

can sb change his photo? this one really sucks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.218.42.248 (talk • contribs)

If no ones replaced the photo since you last asked, it means that we don't have one better. -- T H L^CCD 07:21, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not steroids, hormones. Steroids enhance glands to make more of the hormone testosterone, but he was using hormones, not steroids. -m.d.

ECW sub-section

Okay, I wanted to make it easier for editors and editing and also dividing up his profile by adding a sub section for ECW. Can't we at least do that? We all know that ECW is part of the WWE now. But you must understand this is like a new Era for Lashley and you have to have division somewhere... Govvy 10:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well i think editors can find the bottom of the career section easy enough... If over time we did section it it would most likely be done by year rather than brand... also if we did do it by brand it wouldnt be under "Extreme Championship Wrestling" as WWE's brand is just "ECW". -- Paulley

Lashley's ECW belt

What about the debate this wiki is getting about "ECW World Heavyweight Championship" vs "ECW World Title", even though the wiki article for the belt in question is ECW World Heavyweight Championship - thoughts? --Mikecraig 02:46, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you're referring to my recent reverts of an anon trying to switch the links, it should be taken care of by now. I explained the article title thing to him/her on his/her talk page, and they haven't shown up on my watchlist yet. Cheers, -- T H L R^CCD 02:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes hopefully that will stop...--Mikecraig 02:55, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The belt clearly says heavyweight on it! heh. Govvy 12:07, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dominator

I'm putting the Dominator back onto the list. I know he doesn't use it as often, but he still uses it sporadically. Usually in a squash match. Jam

Belly To Belly Suplex

Someone switched Overhead Belly To Belly Suplex to Side Belly to Belly Suplex. Based on how the fact it usually varies depending on the weight of the opponent I shortened it to Belly to Belly Suplex. Jam
