Bobby Lashley Isn’t Wrestling For The Money At This Point In His Career

Bobby Lashley has wrestled in multiple promotions over the course of his career. He made his WWE debut back in 2005 and had a solid first run before he was released in 2008. He returned to the company ten years later and is now an integral part of the main roster.

The Almighty appeared on the latest episode of the Notsam Wrestling podcast, where he spoke about his career and when he’ll be ready to retire. Lashley stated that he is solely concerned with leaving a legacy and that money is the least of his concerns.

I’m not doing it for the money right now. Over the years I’ve compiled a really nice real estate portfolio and different things like that. So that I’ve taken care of my kids. Right now, I’m doing [it] more [for the] legacy. I love wrestling and I have the ability to do it. I think I’m showing people something different. I’m that guy. That guy [in] the morning workouts. I’m that guy that trains hard. I’m okay with being a role model. I’m okay with all these different things. So I want to stay in the business as long as I can for that reason. But if there ever comes a time where I am running a little bit slower, I am moving a little slower, I take a bump and it’s like, ‘Oh no, this hurts coming back up.’ You’re gonna get that anyway. But if it ever gets to that point where I feel like I’m slowing down then let’s stop.

Somewhere during the conversation, Lashley said he hopes that people are honest with him when he is not able to compete at high level anymore. Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar will compete in a singles bout at the Crown Jewel premium live event in Saudi Arabia next month. You can check out the card right here.
