Lashley chats Omos.
Guest appearing on the newest episode of The Lame Guys Podcast was Bobby Lashley. As the conversation went on, he began speaking about working with Omos.
Lashley went on to share that prior to them working together on-screen, there were people trying to get Omos fired from WWE.
That was cool, that was cool (working Omos at WrestleMania 38) and I’m taking the credit for Omos. Everybody else will, because he started turning it on after that, because when he first came on, they were gonna fire him because he hurt a couple people. He’s a freaking giant. He makes me feel like a child and when he came in there at the beginning, he was wrestling with certain people and there was a couple people like, ‘Gosh dang it!’ And yelling at him and trying to make him look bad to the office and trying to get him fired because he hit a dude hard and stuff like that. So when they put him with me, I was like, ‘I’ll work with him,’ because I understand where he’s coming from and I had the mentality of Taker. Taker looked at somebody like him saying, ‘I wanna work with that guy.’ Some of these guys are like, ‘I wanna work with my buddy because we can make a cool match, we can do cool stuff.’ Man, you gotta overcome obstacles. That’s what wrestling is about, and I was like, he’s an obstacle for me. Not too many people are but he is an obstacle for me. He’s bigger, stronger — well, I don’t know about stronger (Lashley laughed). He’s bigger.
The last time Omos wrestled for WWE was in April as part of the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. In a separate media appearance, Lashley expressed his opinion that he thinks Omos will not get the opportunity to return to WWE television.
