TNA Officials are hoping that they can sign former WWE superstar Bobby Lashley. They see him as a potential big signing and they think he will do great with the company. Kurt Angle and Booker T have been trying their hardest to recruit Lashley for the company as they are both 2 former WWE superstars. Most reports link to Lashley joining TNA very soon.

Ugh. TNA has too many former WWE wrestlers at it is, and Lashley was overrated and overpushed by the WWE to begin with. Signing him would not be a good idea unless he has a manager (because his softspoken voice kills the whole image) and adds a few moves to his arsenal.

Terrible. They don't need him. They need to push the guys they have. I agree that he is overrated and he can't talk on the mic.
People watch TNA for TNA, not for WWF!

If I were a TNA writer I would make lashley loose to the lowest rated wrestler from the roster showing that tha TNA stars are better then the WWE stars ;))

Of course he will go to TNA. This whole "Monday Night War" WWE and TNA is trying to build is engineered. I know that's far too out there for most of you to understand and you will just say I am full of it.

lashley goes to tna that is funny, he would be better of with wwe, if they got rid of the guy who lashley dislikes.

Hahaha, 'out there'. Nah. If it were engineered then TNA would be a LOT more like WWE than it currently is, and probably just be another 'brand' of WWE by now. There are so many obvious delicious angles they've inexplicably passed over again and again, in this supposed conspiracy - far longer, crucially, than it's worth pausing for in order to build some kind of illusion of competition. I don't buy it. They're genuine rivals.
I don't see Lashley going far in TNA, personally. They got rid of Andrew Martin because he looked too 'roided up, didn't they? What did they say at the time - "this isn't the kind of impression we want to put out". Lashley's no bigger a signing than Andrew was. I don't see it working out.
ps. they might seem to have dual reasoning what with Steiner and now also Williams, but Scott actually does look very different from a lot of the other very defined wrestlers (aside from being a bigger name and a great character)... and people already know and love Petey who's been with the company for years. So they are genuine exceptions I think to that policy.
Unless Lashley looks a lot different by now, I'll be very interested to see how exactly they propose to fit him in.

Bobby Lashley did an interview with PWB (Pro Wrestling Blog), and he said how he was thinking that if an offer was made, he might take it. BUT! He said it wouldn't be for a year! He's been MMA fighting, and wants to go to UFC or somewhere like it.
