Bobby Lashley Says Brock Lesnar’s Team Doesn’t Want a Match Between Them, Talks MVP’s Influence On His Career

Bobby Lashley is ready and willing to go for a match with Brock Lesnar, but he says Lesnar’s people don’t feel the same. Lashley spoke with Josh Martinez for a new interview and you can check out some highlights below, per Wrestling Inc:

On why his match with Brock Lesnar hasn’t happened yet: “Because the people around him don’t want to make it happen. I’m always prepared. I am in my final run, I have a few years left, but I am open for anything. I train, I’m always in shape, I’m always ready to go. So, it’s never something where you have to call me up and you have to wait months and weeks, I am ready to go right now.”

On MVP’s influence on his career: “I came up with something before that I actually wanted to do myself. But after talking with MVP and him coming back, I was like, ‘man, you know what? This might be something better for you. I still have a lot more in the tank, so let’s start running together.’ MVP is one of those guys where, one of my favorite quotes, ‘sometimes you have to believe in someone else’s belief in you.’ I think that is the biggest thing that MVP brought to the table with The Hurt Business. Because, not only myself but Shelton and Cedric, he really brought out their full potential. He got those guys the Tag Titles and he got me a World Title. It’s cool to make money and work with your friends, that’s what we are able to do.”

On his future with MVP: “I think those times are going to keep rolling. I think we have so much more to go, I think we have another title run and another main event and a lot of things to go. So, MVP is my dude.”
