Bobby Lashley recently spoke with Jay Reddick of The Orlando Sentinel to promote next week’s GFW Destination X special on Pop TV. Lashley talked about various topics including working with Donald Trump at WrestleMania 23 in 2007, the recent changes with GFW and more. Here are the highlights:
The recent changes with GFW:
“We’re at that place where every company is when there’s a change in regime. There’s always a little bump and a backstep, then you move forward. I don’t want to say things are bad because I’m not a pessimist. We needed the change. There are a lot of insecurities, but at this point, I trust the decisions that are being made.”
Working with Donald Trump at WrestleMania 23:
“I think a lot of people want me to say he was arrogant and pushed his weight around, but I can’t. The first time we met, he just came over, introduced himself, shook my hand and said ‘It looks like we’ll be working together.’ Then we just joked around and he introduced me to his family and his kids. We only worked together a handful of times, but he was cool. He never tried to take over. He was all about ‘How can we make this great? How can I help make this better?’ He joked with me that when this was over, I’d be recognized by all the girls in Times Square – and he did what he said.”
Lashley also talked about wrestling Matt Sydal at Destination X and more. You can read the full interview here.
