Bobby Lashley celebrates 20 years in pro wrestling

Bobby Lashley started his wrestling career in the mid-2000s. He debuted for Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) (a former WWE developmental territory) in January 2005. Therefore, this month, he completed 20 years of his pro wrestling career, which is commendable.

During his vast career, Lashley has performed in top companies like WWE and TNA, where he has won many accolades. He has won top gold in both companies multiple times, and he has also won mid-card titles in WWE and TNA.
