Weird. I wonder if the firing of his girlfriend Krystal had anything to do with this.
I'm not sure how to feel for the guy. Vince pushed him down our throats for several months and now because of that I'm kind of happy he's out. However, I didn't want to see the guy fired. Just get some more training under his belt.

I remember thinking during his match with Benoit on the draft show, that I wished he wrestled like that more often. He was using more of a mat based offense and going for takedowns a lot. I dunno, I just dug that approach.

Now that is a surprise ...
If he has left WWE, then TNA would be foolish not to make an offer for him. He's in his prime has fan support and is despite the naysayers talented in the ring.

Wow. I can't believe that the guy who was pushed to the moon at last year's WrestleMania has been released. This has to be steroids related.
I wouldn't mind him in TNA if he came in as a heel.

While Angle may not have sparked ratings, he's given TNA publicity, consistently good matches, and fun promos. While TNA is doing a lot wrong, there is nothing wrong with signing a star like Kurt Angle. Lashley isn't a star like Kurt Angle. Kurt can open his mouth and not sound like a kid in middle school. Yes, but TNA has actual wrestling people behind the scenes and not Hollywood rejects, so they'll understand how to use him, something the WWE could never dream of. The WWE caters to small children, teenage girls, and mental retards, TNA caters to wrestling fans. |

But this is a surprise to me I guess it was something to do with Crystal |

So the love child of Ahmed Johnson and Sgt Craig Pittman was released.
Casting calls for the next musclehead who can't speak comprehensible English forms at noon.

I'm thinking it might be fake, the administrator on that board who was supposedly Lashley was acting weird, saying stuff like ""y2jbrock, denzil, ratto and shawndust1983.....You three are new to the forum will you please identify yourself." after they made posts in that thread. Why would he be asking random fans on his forum to "identify themselves"?

Really to me he was another Brock Lesnar, a guy so bland I just didn`t care about him. If he has left over the Krystal situation, then the dude needs to grow up somewhat. TNA will likely sign him, it would be a good aquisition I suppose, but they dont really need another guy in the main event, especially with Joe being supposedly readied for the title, Kaz and Roode ready for the next level and AJ back in title running. This is Bobby Lashley here. Quite possibly the greatest athlete I've ever seen in a WWE ring. A guy chiseled out of stone who can do a hands-free plancha over the top rope. A guy who, with the right booking/manager, could be the biggest star in wrestling. If you have a chance to land someone of Lashley's talent, you say to hell with doughboy Joe and the rest of the gang and you sign him up and make him one of the faces of your company. |

It would explain why he didn't reappear on WWE TV for all of this time.
Oh well.

I'm in the camp that says the guy is a hell of an athlete and has talent. Right before he got hurt, he started to catch fire. His match with Cena was good stuff and he started to really come into his own. But then as it got closer to his return date I realized Raw was stacked, SD is the place for Raw talent to be bred, and ECW...is Ohio Valley Wrestling North so it seemed like he was the odd man out. Well, if this is true it's a shame.

If[/b][/u] this is true .... I blame HHH. No reason; it just seems to be the thing to do these days.  And if this is true, I can totally see TNA snatching him up. Hell, they might even grab Kristal to make him happy; if she can learn to wrestle, she might actually be valuable to them, too.

Has it even been confirmed that the website is really an official site run by him, and not just some fan?

I'm waiting for further confirmation from the WWE's site.
This is a very surprising report none the less. I never have had a problem with Bobby Lashley's in-ring style but I wish the WWE would have allowed him to use some of his amateur background during his matches instead of making him more one dimentional. If this is true, I think TNA should give him a look. I think he would work well with Samoa Joe because of their styles.

He will be back in WWE as a silent masked destroyer, a true ring general.
Of course our favorite announcers will act shocked as to who he is and why he's on the warpath. Perhaps 'Mr. McMahon' will manage him.

No I don't think so. The fact is there are guys who don't get half the push Vince gave Lashley. I'm not arguing what a push is I'm arguing to the degree of the push. |

Someone should sign up to the Official Bobby Lashley Forum and find out what they are saying.
