0:00.0	Chris Van Bleed.
0:05.0	Yeah.
0:06.0	Oh yes. Welcome back to another one here on Inside. I'm CBV, Chris Van Fleet. Thank you for being with us on this episode. And thank you as always for making insight the number one wrestling podcast on the planet. I would assume you're already following the show if you're here and you're listening to
0:38.7	this right now, but check.
0:41.1	Just check right now to see if you followed the show.
0:44.6	And if by chance you haven't hit a running knee on that follow button, this interview
0:51.8	today has been 17, almost 18 years in the making. Bobby Lashie was my very
0:59.0	first wrestling interview that I ever did, January of 2007. He was the ECW champion in his first
1:06.0	reign. And I was just starting out my broadcasting career. I was less than two years in and I was living
1:12.0	in Vancouver working on a show called 969 on what ended up becoming MTV to Canada.
1:18.3	The clips from that original interview are up on my YouTube channel. I've got a silly blonde patch
1:24.5	in my hair. It looks like I was part of some pop punk band. Bobby, though, looks
1:29.4	exactly the same, of course, just the man doesn't age. And when someone has had a career,
1:34.3	like Bobby Lashley, it's just so hard to narrow it down for an interview like this. Like,
1:39.0	what are the things that you're going to focus on? What are the things you're going to talk about?
1:42.9	And we talked for about an hour and a half, and I feel like we still could go on for 12 more hours. What a career in
1:50.3	WWE. What a career in TNA. And I think people sleep on his MMA career. 15 and two in total,
1:59.6	undefeated in Bellator at 5 and O. So what an MMA career. And in
2:04.2	October, he made his debut in AEW, reuniting with Shelton Benjamin, an MVP in the Hurt Syndicate.
2:10.6	There's obviously a lot to talk about over Bobby Lashley's amazing career, so I hope that you enjoy this.
2:18.4	Snap a screenshot and let us know that you're listening.
2:20.9	He's at Fight Bobby on Twitter.
