A old confrontation between Heyman/Vince over Lashley

[Kidd Dibiase]

I remember hearing about this I also remember hearing about Heyman was a Lashley supporter he just wanted ECW to be like it was when he was running Smackdown to focus on the main guy but not take away from the others.

I'm sure Heyman would've had no problem eventually getting the title on Lashley but that night was supposed to be for Punk. Take down Big Show who was on a fukking tear in ECW

I thought WWE and Vince hates black people

Vince will push anyone that has a roided up look.

Ahem...Ryback

And then? It's so easy to name splash performers that got "a chance", only to dwell FOR YEARS in obscurity after. Was just saying the push isn't so automatic. Actually, it's counterproductive, just like what kinda happened with Lashley (Hayes irritated him while he was also simping). You put a rocket on people who can't talk, and they get exposed a lot faster, so you don't think they're ready for the ball, when patience would've won.

Too many expectations set in too little time killed his roid heroes, outside of Lesnar, which just burnt him out. Still, Ryback is the beast of the roster, outside of Cena, and he's NOWHERE near the title now(even with its depletion due to injury/breaks). Reigns doesn't look roided, he looks dominant and able to crossover.

Vince has gotta go, one way or another.

And just think that was almost a decade ago.

Lashley was home grown talent if I'm not mistaken. That's probably why he was backing Lashley.

So is this one of those common sense things again where I'm supposed to know what the source of this paragraph is?

McMahon didn’t like the idea, fearing fans in the arena would chant for Punk. Heyman asked why that was a bad thing, as it showed the fans cared about someone on the flagging ECW show. McMahon reportedly threw his glasses on the floor and shouted, “Get this through your thick fukking head—my focus is on Bobby Lashleyand only Bobby Lashley! That man is the brand's icon, the brand's superhero. He is ECW and he will be, at the expense of Rob Van Dam,CM Punk, Test, and everyone else, and you can hit the door if don't like it!”&f=false
