Bobby Lashley Bio
Bobby Lashley was born and raised in Junction City, Kansas on July 16, 1976. His father served in the army and had to travel often; so his mother Clara Lashley raised him alongside three sisters.
Unfortunately, when he was young he had to deal with their divorce; coming to terms with knowing they wouldn’t be together was difficult for him.
Furthermore, Lashley had a tendency for mischief; his sisters would take him off into the woods where they’d tie him to trees for hours on end. By seventh grade Bobby had discovered wrestling as an alternative sport to football during off-seasons.
Wrestling became his passion and he found solace from his family’s drama. Additionally, Lashley saw his mother struggle to support four children so he began working at an early age; additionally, he attended Fort Riley Middle School for his primary schooling.
Lashley then pursued a degree in human-service agency management and recreation administration from Missouri Valley College, following in his father’s footsteps by joining the Army.
He continued to wrestle and fight in the army’s top-notch athletic programs, earning several medals during his service. Thus, he was even eligible to wrestle for Team USA at the 2004 Olympics; unfortunately, some thugs shot him in the knee with a pistol during that season.
