Bobby Lashley comments on what drew him to The Street Profits.
In recent months, Bobby Lashley has aligned with The Street Profits. Under his guidance, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins have unleashed a new side of themselves, and they have gained momentum on WWE SmackDown.
Speaking on WWE After The Bell, Bobby Lashley described how The Street Profits reminded him of himself.
“A lot of people know me in the wrestling business and backstage, whatever, everybody’s like, ‘Bobby’s a nice guy, Bobby’s a good guy.’ I always carry myself that way,” Bobby Lashley said. “But in this business, you see a lot of people just walk over and step over and get their treatments and get their special treatment and everything like that. If you’re not one of those guys to get that kind of treatment, you gotta start taking what you want.
“So that was me personally. But then looking at the landscape of some of the guys in the business, I’m looking, who are those guys that kind of fit the same ideal that I was in. The first people that came in the mind is the Street Profits. The guys are extremely talented. Take the gloves off, they can whoop anybody in the business right now. But they’re sitting back, eating catering, not getting spotlighted, don’t have titles, not in the title picture. Like, come on, man.”
Bobby Lashley Compares Street Profits Alliance To Hurt Business
Bobby Lashley went on to describe how, in joining forces with The Street Profits, he’s doing something similar to The Hurt Business. he noted that the group was full of talented guys who weren’t getting their due.
“It’s the same thing that we did before, when I had the group, the Hurt Business,” he said. “It was a lot of guys with huge amounts of potential that weren’t getting their just due. So that’s kind of been my MO in this business all along.
“I’m that guy that if you need me for something, I can be there for you. If you need me to represent the company, I can represent the company as a professional wrestler. I can represent the company as a businessman. I can represent the company any way that you need it to be represented at a high level. But the spotlight is what’s important in this business.”
Bobby Lashley will face Carlito on the November 10 episode of WWE SmackDown. WrestleZone will have coverage of the show as it airs.
