Bobby Lashley looks like a million bucks and it’s little wonder why WWE was so high on him during his first stint. The story goes that Vince McMahon saw Lashley in developmental and called him up immediately, a move that some saw as premature (we’ve seen multiple premature call-ups through the years).

He was impressive in every sense of the world and his debut was hyped as he was termed as “The Real Deal”. As you’re about to find out, it isn’t just pro wrestling where Lashley has excelled. He has one of the most legit sporting backgrounds in WWE history and he only evolved through the years.

His second stint with Impact Wrestling proved helpful for him as he developed significantly as a wrestler. He proved to be a natural heel and his characters improved leaps and bounds. It was the subtlety of his character (for example, always using the word ‘fight’ rather than ‘match) that helped him become a strong heel champion.

Lashley has had an interesting life in and out of the pro wrestling world and we look at it through these five facts.
