get it if Powerhouse Hobs is a mid

quarter what chance do you have

Lashley if big Cass is a Lackey what are

the odds of you not being a Lackey con

man don't respect big guys that is well

documented his contract ran out just

like Ricochet but I don't get it because

you clearly see see all the top guys in

all Elite fake wrestling they don't look

like Bobby Lashley they are not built

like Bobby Lashley but there's men on

this roster who are built like Bobby but

they are not top guys has he seen what L

has he seen less Archer listen I

guarantee it if Bobby Lashley signs with

this company he's going to be a job guy

I swear to God he's going to be a mcar

guy he's not going to be a man a ventor

what makes him so special compared to a

Powerhouse Hobs what makes him so

special compared to wlow because Lashley

is not a great talker so what are odds

of him being better than a wlo a hobs or

a tick a [ __ ] or a Big C okay let's say

he comes with MVP okay so what is that

going to do this is KH man we are

talking about he don't like big men he

jerks off to small men

so this is a huge mistake even more than

Ricochet this is a huge mistake because

at least Ricochet is a small man right

so he has upside in this company Lashley

will be booked to put over

mjf he will be booked to put over swerf

Scott he will be booked to put over will

Osprey he will be booked to put over

hook tell me I'm lying he's going to get

beaten by hook he's going to be beaten

by Oris Cassidy so there is a strong

possibility that they might reunite the

hurt business in all Elite fake po

wrestling okay once again this is not

good Tony K man does not know how to

book WWF factions ask Adam klaw ask

Ronnie Strong ask Kyle O'Reilly ask

Bobby fish he don't know how to book old

school WWF factions from the past when

it comes to booking a Triple H creation

when it comes to booking a Vince McMahon

machine wrestler God man don't know what

the [ __ ] he's doing look at Sasha Banks

look at [ __ ] aler black look at Edge

there's tons of people on this roster

that comment don't know how to book who

came from the World Wrestling

Federation okay will Bobby Lashley be

exposed as a Vince McMahon machine yes

he will so Bobby Lashley he don't see a

eye with Triple H but you think you are

going to see out ey with how way Tony KH

man books Bobby Lashley will be a star

on

collision he will put over Derby Allen

and guess what [ __ ] Tony Khan will make

sure that he will put over Jack Perry

like I said two months ago I said Bobby

Lashley he's better off going to 10 at

least they know how to book big guys

this is a serious issue this ain't no

rumor Tony kman does not like bigman

when was the last time we saw a big guy

with size in the main event in all Elite

fake for wrestle we just saw big Cass

get choked out by hook he is 7 feet tall

he is 7 feet tall and he got choked out

by a little ass hook that is a pattern

of behavior and the fact that Bobby

Lashley is bragging trying to drop a

hints that he's going to all elite

wrestling why this dude does not watch

the show it's obvious now if this is a

money grab okay cool but this might be

an issue on booking he thinks Cod man is

going to book him strong I guarantee you

this I'm going to make a video must from

now saying Lashley is buried in all

elite wrestling I can't wait and I'm a

huge fan of Bobby but this is a huge

mistake first off Tony Coman he is [ __ ]

when it comes to booking factions he

don't know how to book factions look at

[ __ ] Jack Perry the Young Bucks

okata Jack Perry is the one that's

carrying that

faction that is a bad sign so what makes

you think Tony Coman is going to book

the hurt business strong MVP you are

going to catch huge Karma you talked all

that [ __ ] about triple Lake okay all

right cool you talked all that [ __ ]

about CH blach okay you are going to see

how toy K man books you are going to be

begging to go back to the World

Wrestling Federation and this is going

to be a black faction so I'm assuming

this is going to be Lashley MVP and

Sheldon Benjamin okay a all black

faction all right so when was the last

time we saw a all black faction in all

Elite fake pro wrestling the only black

faction I remember is Shane Taylor and

his faction are jobbers so what makes

you think the hurt business will do good

under Tony Khan people y'all got to

leave the hurt business in the past okay

they were a good group

that fit the pandemic era once the

pandemic era ended they ended okay we

got over them we moved on we moved on to

the [ __ ] bloodline and in

highsight like I said that group was

made to make Bobby look good that group

was made to put over Bobby Lashley as a

man eventor okay mission accomplished

okay it's over your job is done Lashley

got over okay let's move on to new fresh

things I'm not saying that her business

was overrated but don't overhype that

group okay who the [ __ ] is show Benjamin

who the [ __ ] is Cedric Alexander those

guys were jobbers their job was to make

Bobby look good that's the job of that

kind of faction if it's a thre man

faction or a four man faction their job

is to make the top guy of the group look

good

that has been going on for decades now

that's the job of a goddamn faction make

the top guy look good by comparison look

at the new bloodline 2.0 their job is to

make sakoa look good right right so

let's fast forward to the upside of the

hurt business in all Elite fake for

wrestler okay if the hurt business

fought the BBC they would get buried if

they were

to fight the Don Callas family they

would get buried right because con man

does not know how to book WWF factions

if it is a Vince McMahon creation con

man don't know what the [ __ ] he's doing

that is a fact so here is my advice to

Bobby Lashley do you not watch the show

what the [ __ ] are you watching what

makes you think you are going to to be a

star in all Elite fake pop wrestling

they have never had a world champion

over 260 lbs let me repeat T Coman has

never had a world champion that weighs

over

250 over 240 he has never had a super

heavyweight worldy champion Bobby is a

super

heavyweight so what makes him think he's

going to break through the glass ceiling

like no it's not going to happen this is

so dumb he's been brainwashed by you

fans you think that J L is a racist okay

oh okay con man says hold my beard Tony

conman says hold my [ __ ] beer

because the only reason he gave s Scott

the world title is to serve a quota he

got tired of people saying he don't push

black athletes so he said [ __ ] it let me

give Isaiah s Scott the world title and

look what happened he had a bad awful

tole rain Bobby Lashley will be booked

like [ __ ] and him being black that is

not going to Bow well for him in All

Elite fake po wrestling ask Powerhouse

Hobs ask Isaiah sh Scott he had an awful

hideous Toler rain it was awful he was a

afterthought they made him tap out to

Daniel Bryan a guy that's going to

retire soon really so why would Bobby

Lashley be a star here this is so dumb

you marks you ruined Bobby's career

actually because this is career suicide

he was doing just fine with the

[ __ ] Street profits he was

doing just fine on

Smackdown he could have challenged Cody

Rose for the world title he was doing

just fine on SmackDown you have to say

oh Triple H is a racist what proof do

you have that Tony kman Ain no racist

against black guys what proof do you

have because the only reason he gave

Isaiah Sur Scott the world title is

because he was black not because he was

talented because he was black and he was

over so he said you know what I might as

well give him the worldy title I gotta

strike with honest hot that's what kmen

said but overall no he did not want to

give Isaiah s Scott the world title

hence his awful Toler Rin he will go

down as the worst champion in all Elite

fake pro wrestling history I have a list

of people that Bobby Lashley will be

forced to put over most likely Ricochet

most likely offs spray orange Cassidy um

hook oh yeah oh man I can't wait until

Bobby Lashley puts over Danel Garcia

I can't wait eventually he will put over

Max soon he will put over Samy G he will

put over Derby Allen Tony conman loves

to make an example out of bigman he

loves to embarrass them the fact that

hook has beaten big Cass he's beating

Brian Cage come on man you can't make

that make sense that's not real life if

Bryant cage is a jobber right now what

makes you think Bobby is not going to be

a jobber in all Elite fake for wrestling

I don't see a huge difference between

cage and Lashley I'm being real Brian

Cage is a former T world champion same

as Bobby Lashley and look where Brian

Cage is at he is a jobber he is

literally a jobber he puts over small

men that's going to be the fate of Bobby

Lashley and all Elite fake for wrestling

do not get excited about Bobby going to

all Elite fake pro wrestling okay I'm

done
