WWE wrestler turned MMA phenom Bobby Lashley recently remained undefeated by beating Mike Cook at MFC 21. It only took him 24 seconds to Cook his opponent with a guillotine — Big John McCarthy stopped the fight. Lashley’s now 3-0 and looks like what the Kimbo Slice hype machine wanted Kevin “Turd” Ferguson to become. Hell, he looks like he could be the next Brock Lesnar. Like Lesnar he was a collegiate wrestling champion (NAIA).He’s been wrestling for the better part of two decades. He’s even spent over a year now learning boxing and jujitsu. Not only that, he seems like a nice, well-spoken guy, and not some ass clown like Lesnar.
One problem; he desperately needs a new nickname. The Dominator isn’t gonna cut it. Neither will the Real Deal. That might have worked in Vince McMahon’s meat market, but not in MMA.
Let’s see…
Bobby “No Neck” Lashley
“Beatdown” Bobby Lashley
Bobby “Trapezius Maximus” Lashley
“Classy” Bobby Lashley (an homage to another former wrestler, Classy Freddie Blassie)
Bobby “Atlas Shrugs a Sh**load” Lashley
Bobby “The Last Effing Guy on Earth You Want to See in a Dark Alley” Lashley
Bobby “Lash Out” Lashley
Bobby “Last Rites” Lashley
Bobby “From Vinnie Mac’s Steroid Farm” Lashley
No, no, no. Wait a minute…I got it…
Bobby “Trapasaurus Flex” Lashley
I think we’re going to have to start rolling with Trapasaurus Flex. I think he has the biggest traps this side of NFLer Takeo Spikes, who allegedly doesn’t even have to wear shoulder pads on Sundays. Screw it, I’m gonna go on the record and say Lashley’s are even more ginormous. Homeboy makes Goldberg look like a pencil neck.
Anyway, enjoy his latest beating. And, remember, the name’s Flex, Trapasaurus Flex.

This guy has fought no one so far, but I would like to see him and Lesnar square off with Dana White fighting Vince McMahon on the undercard.
