Franklin Roberto Lashley (born July 16, 1976 in Kansas City, Kansas) is an American professional wrestler, currently performing for World Wrestling Entertainment on its SmackDown! brand as Bobby Lashley.
Career
In the beginning
Lashley attended Missouri Valley College, where he won three national wrestling championships between 1996 and 1998, placing fourth in 1995. Throughout 1997 and 1998 he was the NAIA National Wrestling Champion, competing at the weight of 177 pounds (80 kilograms). Lashley later joined the United States Army, where he continued to wrestle.
World Wrestling Entertainment
In November 2003, Lashley signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment and was assigned to its farm federation, Ohio Valley Wrestling. While in OVW, Lashley was known as Blaster Lashley, and was a member of the Bolin Services stable along with Mike Mondo, and Ken Doane. In mid-2005 Lashley appeared at over four live events, wrestling in dark matches for both the RAW and SmackDown! brands.
On September 23, 2005 Lashley made his televised WWE debut on SmackDown! under the name Bobby Lashley. Lashley was introduced as a three-time National Amateur Wrestling Champion, four-time All-American, a two-time Armed Forces Champion and a 2002 Silver Medalist at the Military World Championship. In his first match, he squashed Simon Dean. Lashley would go on to make his first WWE PPV appearance on October 9, 2005 at No Mercy 2005, where he once again defeated Dean.
Lashley went on to feud briefly with Nunzio and Vito. On the November 11 episode of SmackDown!, Lashley defeated Orlando Jordan in a qualifying match for a place in Team Smackdown! at the 2005 Survivor Series pay-per-view on November 27 where he was the first to be eliminated.
Thus far, Lashley is undefeated in televised SmackDown! matches.
