During a recent virtual signing for K&S Wrestlefest, MVP questioned WWE’s decision to remove Bobby Lashley from the title picture or not have him take on the role that Brock Lesnar previously held.
Lashley, along with MVP, departed from WWE earlier this year.
MVP said, “You could definitely make the case that with Bobby it’s about age. You want to go with fresh and younger talent, I get that. How do you take Bobby completely out of the title picture? He still looks better than everybody on the roster. He’s in better shape than everybody on the roster. He can literally kick everybody’s a** on the roster. If you’re trying to make these new guys, Bobby, on his way out, is somebody you should still keep. If you lost Brock, why wouldn’t you stick Bobby in that spot? Bobby is Black Brock. Why wouldn’t you use Bobby in that position and make guys on the way out? Triple H retired when he was 49 or 50. Bobby just turned 48.”
On a recent edition of the “Insight” podcast, Batista stated that he recently lost weight and muscle mass and that he currently weighs the least he has since his teenage years.
Batista said, “I’m getting super trimmed. This is probably the lightest I’ve been since I was 19 years old. The heaviest I’ve ever been was 370 pounds. When I started Deacon, I was about 325 pounds. Throughout most of my wrestling career, I was about 290 pounds. Now I’m about 240 pounds. Just a year and a half ago for Knock At The Cabin, I went up to 315 pounds and that’s when the nightmare started. Getting that weight off has been a real challenge.”
Batista’s new film, “The Killer’s Game,” will be released in theaters this week.
