I'll go ahead and say I don't mind the guy in TNA. He could be good, as I always knew he was even when the rest of the smart marks turned on him. Hopefully this doesn't mean another depush for AJ and Joe, but as long as that doesn't happen I'm okay with it. Your thoughts?
Bobby Lashley is a great wrestler, I am looking forward to seeing what he can do wiht some of the TNA Talent. I think that TNA will stop pushing Styles and Joe for the time being.

My WWE Universe NOC is UP! Check It Out! Credit and Thanks to: Doctor Doom for Banner. AWESOME DUDE!
I think he really wants to kill his MMA career. I think he needs to make up his mind on what he wants to do. Either he wrestles or he continues to fight. With the announcement that he's fighting Bob Sapp next, I think MMA is the way to go. TNA, imo, is a mistake.

He can easily do both due to the light schedual TNA has.

I didn't mean that his schedule wouldn't allow it. I meant that most people in sports/media don't respect professional wrestling and practically frown upon anyone apart of it because of their view of it being fake. Lashley doing real fighting and "fake" fighting is basically an oxymoron. It doesn't go together and would most likely put a damper on his career. I know that Dana White most likely wouldn't sign him if he's still wrestling for TNA.
I'll go ahead and say I don't mind the guy in TNA. He could be good, as I always knew he was even when the rest of the smart marks turned on him. Hopefully this doesn't mean another depush for AJ and Joe, but as long as that doesn't happen I'm okay with it. Your thoughts?
Oh, don't be silly if they were really as "smart" as they thought they were then they wouldn't have to turn on him because they wouldn't have liked him from the get-go.
Lashley was quite horrible from the time he started with WWE. I say that as an eye-witness who attended a small Smackdown house show a bit over a month prior to his debut. When you're sitting front row in an intimate setting and WWE doesn't have the production means or the pre-taped nature of Smackdown, it's pretty impossible to even try to cover up how green he was.
Then when they bring the guy up to television, and eventually get the guy backstage and tell him to open his mouth, everything starts to become crystal clear. He wasn't a great pro-wrestler by any means. He couldn't talk worth a damn. He was BAD.
That said, even with WWE pushing this walking broom stick to the moon I don't know how they did it, he started to get over. Not only that, I'm pretty sure he showed a bit of improvement in the ring by relying on more of his amateur wrestling background. For him to get over, that says a lot about what a character like Vince McMahon can do to elevate your career, since Lashley really only started to take off once they stuck McMahon in there.
When something starts working you can't take it for granted in the way you book them. Fortunately for TNA here, WWE didn't take it for granted.
The hurdle I see for TNA is that their fanbase isn't going to be a very big proponent for Lashley. Considering he didn't seem to get any reaction for his debut appearance, that isn't good. Of course, that was Philly -- it didn't sound like the hardcore ECW mongrels, but it was still just Philly nonetheless.
Lashley is one of the bigger assets for TNA, but there's no surety that being off WWE television for well over a year now is going to affect TNA in any substantial way.
I'm not a big fan of much of TNA's programming, but I've been following their stuff a bit more than usual and I'll probably tune in see how they manage with him.

Just so people know, his deal is apparently short-term and he still has MMA as his top priority, so..... yeah, good signing TNA. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Oh, and he's also an awful wrestler to boot.

I never liked Bobby Lashley. He's also not gonna go anywhere on his MMA career. He'll just end up like Rikishi: Wanting the TNA title so fast.
Not going anywhere? If he beats Bob Sapp, his mma career is going to sky rocket. He'd probably be in the UFC right after or at least in TUF, which I think he'd win.
