Corey Graves has lavished praise on Bobby Lashley for the manner in which the champion has been carrying himself. It is no secret that he has an impeccable physique, but the fact that he is 44 has made it much-more astonishing.
Corey Graves: ‘I Haven’t Been This Excited About Anything As I Am With Bobby Lashley Being WWE Champion!”
It was that strength that ended his 16-year title drought as he defeated The Miz to claim the WWE Title on Raw. The victory was even sweeter given the comprehensive manner in which he defeated his opponent. In an interview on the After the Bell show, Corey spoke on how good Bobby has been looking on RAW.
He said: “Oh my, am I in. It was unbelievable. The lightning, it felt huge. Bobby is built like a Greek god, and the graphic reflects such. I’m getting fired up just thinking about it. That’s what I want my world champion to be. Redefining what it looks like to be a WWE Champion.”
Wrestlers have been criticized in the past for promising much, but bringing little. Bill Goldberg, for his part, has been accused of doing such things. Although his career did skyrocket, fans always held it against him, given that he did not possess the ‘x-factor’. Bobby, though, could not be further from the truth. That is why Corey, and the fans alike, have gravitated towards him.
He added: “I’m just a fan of. I say this without trying to sound anything like a corporate shill, this is me as a wrestling fan saying, ‘My god, I haven’t been this excited about anything as I am with Bobby Lashley being WWE Champion!”
But it is not just Bobby that has impressed Corey. Roman Reigns has also caught his eye. Primarily because he possesses such fortitude, and this was apparent none more so than when he battled to overcome Leukemia. And such courage should be applauded, which is why Corey is so desperate for Roman to headline WrestleMania.
He continued: “I want Roman Reigns headlining WrestleMania. Whether it be against Edge or anybody else, to me, Roman is the guy we need as a company, as a culture, to realize what we have with Roman Reigns. That’s the guy.”
