In a virtual signing with K&S WrestleFest, former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley discussed several topics, including why he felt that The Hurt Business were overlooked by the WWE towards the end of their time with the company.
“I think it was kind of a spit in the face towards the end, we never were in front of a live crowd. During the pandemic, a lot of guys kind of sat back home and I don’t want to do it, I’m not going to do this, I’m not going to do that, and it was us that were saying, you know it’s work, so we’re going and we did everything.
Like, we were on half the show most of the time, and we were doing everything that a lot of people wouldn’t do and then we came out of the pandemic, then all of these people started resurfacing, oh I’m ready to work, I’m ready to work, but what about the guys that were putting the time in, in this dangerous time that we were having, and we got kind of overlooked, and I think that was kind of a little bit of a spit in the face.
I think we could have come back and we could have done some big things together, they just didn’t want us, I think different strokes for different folks, different people like different things. I think when the regime changed, the regime wasn’t too high on me at all, and was definitely not high on them, because they were the first people they got rid of.”
