-- Former WWE champion Bobby Lashley recently departed the company after his contract expired and the two sides were unable to come to an agreement on a new deal. Earlier this month, he made some comments that got people talking when stating that he had more of a relationship with former WWE CEO Vince McMahon compared to current head of talent/creative, Paul Levesque. Speaking to the The Bo and Them Show, Lashley noted that he felt his comments were taken out of context and he sought to clarify them:
"I just want to clarify - I made a comment about Triple H and Vince. First of all, when you look at any interview I’ve ever done, I’m never a negative person. I never badmouth anyone, I never badmouth the business. I left WWE in 2008, you can’t find any article where I said anything bad about the people there."
"I said something where I had more of a relationship with Vince than Triple H, and everybody was going after me. Vince did this and Triple H did this. It was a very simple, innocent comment. When Vince was here, I had more conversations with him. I don’t know what anybody does in their personal life. And where I work, that’s what I concentrate on."
"And when we were there, Vince was always trying to pull a different side of me. So there were different things I did at that time when I was in the wrestling business when Vince was in charge. What Vince told me was I want to see different layers of you. He was like man, there’s so much more to you, so I want to make you feel uncomfortable on TV so that we can get those different layers. So I had a different relationship with Vince. When Triple H came on, we didn’t really get a chance to sit down. He didn’t get a chance to get to know me."
