Bobby Lashley has been lucky enough to have a long career inside the squared circle and over the last few years he’s achieved major success by winning the WWE Championship and beating big names like Brock Lesnar.
No one can wrestle forever, and at 46 years old it’s probably safe to say that Bobby Lashley has more matches behind him that he does ahead of him. He’s not ready to hang up the boots just yet, but during an appearance on the NotSam Wrestling show he admitted that he’ll stop when he feels he’s slowing down.
“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.”
It was recently confirmed that Bobby Lashley will face off against Brock Lesnar once again at the Crown Jewel premium live event on November 5. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
