‘It Was A Very Simple, Innocent Comment’: Bobby Lashley

Recently in an interview with The BO and Them Show the former WWE champion has clearly said that he only shared his experience from his statement by making innocent comments and had no intentions of taking any potshots at anyone including the company. 

“I said something where I had more of a relationship with Vince than Triple H, and everybody was going after me. Vince did this and Triple H did this. It was a very simple, innocent comment. When Vince was here, I had more conversations with him. I don’t know what anybody does in their personal life. And where I work, that’s what I concentrate on," Lashley said.

There is no doubt that Bobby Lashley's use was limited under Triple H's reign as compared to Venice McMahon’s. The former WWE Champion called Vince’s reign the era of creative leadership and added that he wanted to promote him on a television show and used to support him throughout his tenure.
