Bobby Lashley Explained Why He Fits Better As a Heel
The All Mighty Bobby Lashley had an dominant run in IMPACT Wrestling before coming to WWE. He returned to WWE in 2018, almost after 10 years and had a run as a babyface. After having few feuds against Sami Zyan and Elias, he turned as heel for first time by brutally attacking Kevin Owens.
Later he joined with MVP and formed Hurt Business faction, which is one the dominant Heel Faction in WWE.
Bobby Lashley recently appeared on WWE’s After The Bell podcast with Corey Graves. During the interview, he revealed that why he suits better as a heel in the company today.
He said that he from a generation that social media isn’t biggest thing. He do little posting in Instagram and at home he will hangout with his kids or will train himself. So, he is inability to interact with the fans via social media will naturally makes him heel for the fans, he said.
“Now, it seems like this society and way things are a little bit different. Before, I was definitely babyface. Coming in, they said, ‘oh, Bobby’s a babyface. Military this, that, and the other’ – all the stuff. But I think this society’s a little different. I think this society’s more of — I’m a heel. I think the guys that are more engaging with social media, the guys that are more vocal [and] the guys that are more, I guess, in touch with the crowd, the crowd kind of takes to them a little bit more. My generation is a little bit of an older generation. Social media wasn’t the biggest thing.
“So, I’m not so big on social media. I’m not tweeting and going back and forth with people all day, everyday. I do a little post on Instagram from time to time, but I have kids, so when I’m at home, I’m usually either training or hanging out with my kids. So, I’m kind of a different animal right now. So since I’m not so in touch with the crowd via social media, I think that just naturally makes me a heel.” (H/T: Wrestling Inc)
