WWE star Bobby Lashley released an old photo on his Instagram of his days training at the Olympic Training Center along with WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle. The former Intercontinental champion reveals that on the day the picture was taken Angle pulled him aside and told him he would help get him into the world of pro-wrestling.
Lashley writes, “This picture was from the Olympic Training Center. I was training there and @therealkurtangle came in that day to do some filming for the @wwe. I had followed Kurt’s career since his college days to so I was already a huge fan. After practice Kurt pulled me aside and told me he wanted to bring me into the world of professional wrestling.😳 After a series of events I found myself at @ovwwrestling contracted by @WWE! It’s crazy how we are all just one decision away from a completely different life. Thank you @therealkurtangle.”
