lashley will never be world champ as with that responsibility he'd be forced to entertain on the mic. paul is right, he's beyong terrible on the mic. his wrestling skills are nothing special either...he's pretty much a younger version of batista...just a big, powerhouse type. i think he's a multiple time u.s. champ for his career, nothing more. his only way to the heavyweight belt would be to give him a real prick manager (a bobby heenan type) who could do all the talking while lashley stood in the background looking mean.
