Lashley – The Hurt Business Is NOT The Nation 2.0

Business is good right now for WWE’s Hurt Business. The contingent of MVP, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin added the United States Championship to their group at Payback with Lashley’s victory over Apollo Crews. The Hurt Business also added a new member on this Monday’s RAW as Cedric Alexander turned on his partners Crews and Ricochet.

Lashley spoke exclusively to Graham Matthews of Daily DDT about the group’s recent success and their comparison to another group of strong black men – The Nation of Domination.

“The pairing started to naturally occur and we started talking about all kinds of stuff like how we wanted to be represented. Everybody said, ‘Of course, you’re black guys, so you’re the Nation!’ We said, ‘Hold on a second. We are three black guys, but we’re businessmen.’ That’s why we’re The Hurt Business, not The Hurt Gang or The Hurt Mob or anything like that. We come in, and I’ve been doing this since I came into the wrestling business and I learned this when I originally started in 2003, you put on a suit and you walk in there because it’s a business. You conduct yourself like a star because you are a star, so we come in every day like that anyway.

“If I need to pull my jacket off and beat someone up in Raw Underground, that’s what I do. If I need to take everything off and put on my wrestling gear and beat somebody up in the ring, that’s what I do. That’s where the commonalities come with us in that we both have the same frame of mind: we’re going to look good and do big things.”

Lashley on The Hurt Business’s comparison to the Nation of Domination

Lashley, who previously held the United States Championship in 2006, said he bonded with his Hurt Business stablemates during their previous stint in WWE. Lashley and MVP were also aligned together in IMPACT Wrestling, where Lashley held the Impact World Championship on four occasions.
