Should be good business wise for TNA as he's still relatively well known.

Ok then. I'm not sure how doing both wrestling and MMA at the same time will work out but more power to the guy.

Lashley is a class act IMO, should be good for TNA Class act? He was released because he wanted more than what WWE were offering in a contract extension from what I hear. |

Didn't he make an appearance at Against All Odds or something like that?

Great news. I'm a fan of Bobby Lashley, and I look foward to seeing him on iMPACT! in the new future. A feud between Angle and Lashley would be amazing if pulled off correctly.

I'm not much of a Lashley fan, but I think it's a smart signing by TNA. If you're going to have the taping schedule of 4 shows in 3 days, you might as well take advantage of it. And in this case, they're doing it with someone who could bring attention to your product given MMA's huge appeal these days. At least the potential mainstream attention in this case would be on an actual wrestler instead of a Daffney as Sarah Palin or something stupid.

I can't believe that so many are in favor of this. He needs to stick with MMA because he sucks at wrestling.

Cause if a bunch of former WCW and WWE champions can't garner TNA longterm attention, a vacuum of charisma like Lashley sure will.

In an extremely nonsensical move, he'll be the one advising Samoa Joe. After the big reveal, the MEM will be laughed out of the building. They already shown a Taz Titantron, with the number 13, Survive If I let You, and FTW, All trademarks of Taz. |

Why is there a 15 minute video, when just the first ten seconds matter?

2 Things here
1)This isnt a great signing. Lasley wont put butts in the seats and sell tickets
2)Spike TV shows suck if TNA is the top primetime show on the network
