Should TNA bring in Bobby Lashley?

[03mnm]

With all the rumour going around about TNA wanting to bring in Bobby Lashley I was thinking would TNA fans want Lashley to come into TNA. I have a feeling this wont happen i believe lashley may have his eyes set on some sort of MMA career but he is good friends with Booker T and Kurt Angle so you never know.

Personally I Wouldn't be opposed to it i was never a lashley hater, I always thought that the fact that he can't talk is a poor excuse for disliking him. Wrestler make use of their natural abilities as much as their trained ones, lashley can't talk without sounding stupid so don't have him talk, just let him get across what he wants through actions. plus you can always hook him up with a manager someone like Julius Smokes from ROH, James Mitchell, Shane Douglas or even Simon Diamond. This guy could be a monster heel if used in the right way anyway Discuss should TNA bring Lashley in?

Have him come in and be a heel with Booker, Angle, Tomko, and 3D. Then they could set up a WWE vs. TNA feud.

They should have pushed him heel at least once during his run with the E. Shame they didn't. But atm, I don't think TNA needs him. They are just fine with the roster size. As you mentioned in your last thread, they just need to learn better marketing strategy and ways to advertise better. They have enough stars for now if you ask me.

TNA should definatly NOT bring in Bobby Lashley!

Bobby Lashley may be worse the Scott Steiner on the microphone which basically means hes the worst in all of wrestling. Lashley also is pretty terrible in the ring, all of his moves are overrated and he botches them alot anyways. If they brought Bobby Lashley in it would be a huge waste of Money for TNA and it woulkdnt contribute to the ratings at all unless they are trying to lose ratings. I would save up that money and instead of Hiring Lashley maybe bring in someone who actually has talent and can use a microphone.

Instead of Bobby Lashley they should be looking for the ROH and Indy wrestlers to sign, now that would make a huge difference in TNA!

lashley would fit good in tna.
i didnt think he did great for wwe.
but if he did go to tna, i think it would be better for him because he can form a tag team with tomko. how dominant would that be?
he also has lots of superstars to feud with too...

I think the thread should be titled "CAN" tna sign Bobby Lashley.

Like him or not, they would be stupid to pass up on him if they could get him. (Assuming he's officially done with his no compete clause) I'd dump a handful of wrestlers off the current roster, just to have money to sign Lashley.

Also as previous mentioned, that Tna should look to ROH and Indy guys. Most of the ROH talent signed 2 year deals with ROH, due to the simple fact they didnt want to get their talent raided. (like ecw) However i'm pretty sure Jack Evans never signed, and he's "mr. X division" in my opinion. Not sure what everyone is waiting on.

But yeah, I'd possibily cut Sting to even make room for Lashley. Def. guys like Steiner/Tomko/Morgan/Rhyno/James Gang/Black Reign/Killer/Dutt/ you get the idea.

hell no....lashley would be a major push in tna and it doesnt need that. if they were to bring him in get rid of rhino/steiner/ or any other main eventer *cough*Christian/Sting/angle*cough* because tna has too amny of them...its turning into another raw

 

[Montana]

They really don't need him, but he's one of those talents you just don't pass up on. Not to much the TNA roster has gotten a little stale. I'd find a way to make room for him.

 

[STDeeFree]

yea but speaking like that roh should be jumping at the chance to sign him....any indy federation with a former wwe superstar would be enough for ratings

I would hate TNA forever if they were to sign Bobby Lashley, I agree with you freeing up Money by firing James Gang, Killer and Reign, Scott Steiner but Not Rhyno, Matt Morgan, tomko and Dutt(who is in a fued with lethal and is skilled).

The only possible thing to do with Bobby Lashley if they signed him would to make him put over all of the other guys like, Tomko, Matt Morgan, Abyss when he gets back, Samoa as a Champ and maybe a few others.

I wouldnt go all out firing guys just to bring in Bobby Lashley because he really isnt worth it but I still think they could fire a couple of guys and bring in someone worth like Jack Evans as you were saying or some other popular Indy guys...

 

[Soulpower]

HELL NO! TNA has a shitload of problems, and they don't need another roid-head, ex-WWE guy making things worse. Besides, Lashley is NOT a big name. He wouldn't boost ratings, nor would he increase PPV buys.

 

[STDeeFree]

he is not a big name yet.....and i think tna sees that in him. still think he would go better in roh

 

[Qwake]

^ if you havnt noticed but most wrestlers in ROH are great athletic wrestlers or they very really botch and know how to talk on a microphone...

when you see Lashley wrestle a match with a minimum of 1 botch and have him do a 30second promo without fucking up or saying: ummmmmmmm... then tell me and then maybe he could go to TNA.

He won't bring ratings either, I mean, look at what he done to ECW

 

[STDeeFree]

...no theres an indy promotion with all like muscle head, heavyweights...thought it was roh. not ring of honor roh, something else....i might be wrong though..sorry

 

[Montana]

Why would he go to ROH? They wouldnt pay him anything. He will likely end back up with the wwe. I dont know why im having this conversation. I'm not saying lashley is the greatest thing ever, or he would even fit well with tna. But they need to shake up their roster a bit. They really havent done much or that in the past 3 years. And its not like TNA's ratings are sky rocketing right now. Im going to go with my gut on this one and it would be foolish to pass a 24/25 year old guy from the wwe who was main eventing ppv's last year.
