“So I respect you, I respect everyone, and if you could send me an article where I downplayed someone or made them look bad or said something negative send it to me because I don’t know that I’ve ever done that and I never will,” said Lashley.

Bobby Lashley clearly doesn’t want to be caught in the middle of this storm. He adds that wrestlers are out to entertain the fans and make money. He hopes they get over with this and states Henry has a legacy and Rush is a tremendous talent.

“We’re all going out there with one goal, and it’s to entertain the fans and make money together. I hope that when I read this stuff with Mark Henry and Lio, it’s not going to be something that’s gonna bring each other down. [I hope] it’s just a confusion of something, and they can keep moving forward.
