I just went to the website, and indeed it looks very "low budget' and amateurish. It's registered to some 31-32 year old named Jessica Douglass in Springfield, Massachusetts. Why would she be the webmaster of Bobby Lashley's official website? She's clearly not that talented at designing websites.

98.7% chance it's a fake. Tis a shame, the idea of Lashley in TNA had me mildly excited.

Ehh, it's not a bad website. It's no worse then wrestlecrap.com (not bashing, just saying). Not everyone needs to spend money on having a professional website made. I mean, have you seen the Kurt Angle website? What about the Kevin Nash website? Neither of them are really that "special" design wise, but they are legit. Nash's site is registered to Kat Conran from Arizona, and Angle's site has domain registration privacy enabled. Neither are disputed as being the real thing.

A lot of times the workers will meet someone (fans) who they generally like and then by the fans own desire, a proposition for a site will come up in conversation. It happens a lot more then you'd think. More then likely, going to guess that's the case here with Lashley's site.

I love reading the comments by people saying; "point blank, it's not real." Those are just funny as shit to me, because you might as well open up your mouth and prepare to put your foot in. I'm not saying it's real or fake, but if it is real, I laugh at you guys.

TNA would be dumb not to hire Lashley. He's not the biggest star in the business, but he's got a good enough name that they could exploit him for about another .1 rating increase (laugh all you want, lol). I probably will dislike the direction they take, just as much as the next guy, but they should hire him if it's true.

I have mixed feelings about this, assuming it's true. On one hand, I'm happy he won't be forced down our throats anymore. On the other, he's the most unintentionally hilarious guy on the current roster.

So this is what it sounds like when doves cry

I knew it all along

Wikipedia has confirmed this, so it's now 100% fact.

I also heard that it was confirmed on Supercool's mega WWE fan page/matrix fanfiction HQ too, between these two sources I'd say it's rock solid.

I'll believe it when it's on wwe.com or someone gets a mobile alert.

Agreed...hell, I'll even take a newz site at this point confirming it.

[Hulk With A Mustache]

Maybe Bobbly Lashley quit but forgot to tell WWE!

[Push R Truth]

So, this begs the question.



Do we love Bobby?

Okay...if Punk suddenly gets a lot of air time on Raw, will he be "pushed down our throats"? Or will it be okay because the Internet smarks like him?

In a thread on the message board of the official web site of former ECW Champion Bobby Lashley where fans were speculating his return date, an administrator account claiming to be Bobby Lashley posted the following message at 9:04 PM on January 21, 2008: �I'm sorry all but there will not be a Bobby Lashley return to the WWE.�

Few fans were taking the message seriously as they accused the poster of covering up for a return storyline. The person who says they are Lashley reassured fans that he was serious yesterday morning (January 22, 2008) in the following message that was posted at 9:48 AM: �I am sorry to everyone here but I am serious when I say I won't be back. Everyone wants to come here and hear the real story and I am telling you the real story. Circumstances which are out of my control left me no decision but to leave the WWE. I can't go into details of this now but like I said before sometimes people will hate you personally and try to destroy you which has happened here. Evil has prevailed however like I said before if you continue your struggle doors will open around these people. You have not scene the last of me so please don't stop your support. Add Bobby Lashley to the list of RECENTLY RELEASED!�

The person claiming to be Bobby Lashley became frustrated with fans that refused to believe that he was telling the truth. The following message was posted under the account 6:04 PM yesterday evening: "I feel like there is no reason to come to this chat room any more if nobody listens to me. People this is Bobby Lashley and I am serious, no surprises. I just wanted to be the first to tell all the people who supported me." Just three minutes after posting this message the person claiming to be Lashley wrote, �My release from the WWE will probably be online soon, maybe by the end of the week.�

Shortly after the forum administrator to the official message board of Lashley�s web site told readers to listen to Lashley, that he was telling the truth. Yesterday at 7:09 PM the account claiming to be Lashley wrote the following in the same thread regarding his future: �Thanks for the nice words Jess (the forum admin) and everyone else. Like I said before I will be doing something big really soon. You can't keep a real fighter down. PS

In what I found as a very odd message, making me doubt the entire thing was true, the following was posted from the account claiming to be Bobby Lashley at 1:08 AM this morning: �I am pretty torn on what to do next. Please can i get some input from all of you�

At this point we are unable to confirm or deny anything. From everything that we have heard, Lashley is due to return to WWE sometime this month from shoulder surgery. However, these messages from the person claiming to be Bobby Lashley indicate otherwise. As of the time of this writing there are no mentions on the official WWE web site nor has any official announcement been made. We will keep you updated as this story continues to develop.

if this is true, i cant say i'll miss him. but for now im considering this a work

[Professor Chaos]

Oh my God, they fired Lashley! You Bathturds!

[EvilMasterBetty, Esq.]

Sadly, if true, Lashley is shooting himself in the foot. It is clear Vince wants big things from him so he shouldn't need to worry about politics. Plus he's got tons of natural physical talent, just sadly he has no mic skills. He's put on some very good matches, it's just "TEH INTERWEBZ" doesn't like him because he was big, muscular, and not an Indy guy and got a push.

But if he thinks he can make it in MMA he's mistaken. Brock was an NCAA D-1 champion. He has some legit wrestling cred. Lashley doesn't have that. Sure he might be able to make it with hard work, but he won't get the publicity Brock gets.

[Mr. Mediocre]

WrestlingNewsWorld is now confirming that Lashley is indeed gone.

In a phone call placed to WrestlingNewsWorld.com’s Ryan Gray, Lashley said that he is gone from the company. While he would not give any specifics he made it clear that he did not want to leave but had too due to circumstances beyond his control.

Lashley told WrestlingNewsWorld.com’s Ryan Gray that he was training hard for a potential career in Mixed Martial Arts. The former ECW Champion said that despite the fact that he wanted to pursue an MMA career, it would not be with UFC.

Lashley would not comment on whether or not he would be interested in going to TNA Wrestling. He said that WWE has granted his release but it would not be announced until the paperwork was finalized.

[Tyfo]

I can't say that Im gonna shed any tears over this.

I wasn't looking forward to his return at all.

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

I'll tell you, a black Mr. America better not show up next week.

[Steveweiser]

So it is true then. He must really want this MMA career.
