Lashley gone from WWE!

[Gillberg: 0-175]

Yeah, it sucks that a guy lost his job, but I won't miss Lashley one bit. I never felt any reaction towards him except that he was really unneeded. They have Cena and Batista. How many jakked up freaks do they need?

I expect him to be a surprise entrant in the Rumble this weekend nonetheless.

I don't give a damn about Lashley. I just wanted to say that you have the BIG SIG OF ALL TIME.

So long Leslie

Theres two ways to look at Lashley's situiation. Either hes a pectulant whinner whos taking his ball and going home because hes not happy the E axed his girlfriend, or hes standing up to the powers that be and saying take this job and shove it.

I do agree that his character was used wrong, he should have been a silent but deadly
assailant letting his actions speak for him. He could have been a mega huge heel if used
correctly like Lesnar was when he came on the scene.

If he does enjoy the business like hes claims, he can go to Japan or even TNA.

[Haulk]

I think hes gone over strict wellness enforcement and his inability to be "Lashley" after losing 40 pounds.

So did Bob Holly beat Umaga last year at WrestleMania?

[rubber johnny]

i'm delighted right now

in all honestly, lashley was probably my least favourite wrestler of all time

[BorneAgain]

About Lashley ending up TNA, its a bit of a toss-up.

On one hand, the whole Wellness Policy issue could be a problem. (And as far as appearances, its a lot more obvious with Bobby then it is with a guy like Booker)

However, he has definite potential, and it wouldn't surprise me to see the likes of Booker or Angle putting in a good word for him.

Nope, it was Headbanger Mosh.

[kswolf]

If I were WWE, I'd refuse to let him out of his contract. Just force him to job out to everyone on the roster until it expires.

A clean and dominant victory over Lashley could really help give Chavo's World Title run a boost. And if they're really serious about pushing guys like MVP and Jeff Hardy into the main event scene, a victory over Lashley could really help cement them as headliners as well.

You say your name is Sinister and you love to fight...

[Crappler El 0 M]

He sure did have a lot of potential, but his mic skills were horrid. He's definitely a loss for WWE.

If so, then Holly had one busy night.

Kennedy beat Punk, Matt, Jeff, Finlay, Orton, Edge, and Booker Holly in a Ladder match.

Benoit Holly beat MVP

Dreamer, Sandman Holly, RVD Holly, and Sabu Holly beat Thorn, Burke, Striker, and Cor Von Holly

Lashley Holly beat Umaga

Also, Masters Holly, Eugene Holly, Cryme Tyme Holly, Brooke Holly, Trinity Holly, Krystal Holly, Daivari Holly, Scotty Holly, Sylvan Holly, Vito Holly, and Holly Holly all served as Lumberjacks/Lumberjills.

Give Holly a hand for all that hard work.

You know what would be perfect here? A clip from House... that episode where he's treating a major league pitcher. He comes in the room and says professional athletes spend millions trying to hide steroid use... but there's one thing they can't hide. Then he pulls off the guy's bedsheet and says "Hypo-gonadism! Steroids shrink the testicles."

Considering what girl a Lashley's being, it fits on multiple levels. $$$

--This is what we've been able to ascertain regarding Bobby Lashley. The story is real and Lashley himself has apparently talked with some web sites to confirm it, including saying he's looking at MMA. Friends of his say he is leaning in that direction, but his prime focus now is just getting out of his WWE contract. It will be interesting to see if, because he has a long-term deal, if WWE will attempt to make him sign a non-compete, how long, terms, and if it will include not doing MMA for a time period.

Lashley was training out of San Jose's American Kickboxing Academy to go into MMA when he got the WWE offer in 2004. He has not given any reasons. We're told the release itself hasn't been finalized, which is why WWE hasn't reported on it, but that Lashley does want out. Several sources have confirmed his being upset at the way Kristal Marshall's firing went down. While some in WWE were aware of it last night at the Smackdown tapings, the word had not spread within the company. Most found out about it this morning from the various stories. Several different people including on the creative side weren't even aware of the fact it had gotten this bad, although there were friends of Lashley's who have seen this brewing for some time. We also know that key people in TNA or UFC who would know if Lashley was looking to go there didn't know anything as of this afternoon.

[bradyfan]

i'm glad he is gone. He was useless.

[Garee]

Really not a big loss in my mind, All the time he was gone with the injury I never really missed him

[texaswhopper]

Wrestling has flops and he might be one of them. Not in terms of ability but the way he was handled by the company. It wasnt good in my view and so hes a flop.
