Lashley joins TNA! Debut kept secret...

[MikeRaw]

Bobby Lashley arrived backstage at TNA Lockdown on Sunday night at about 10:00 PM Eastern, just moments before his debut with the company. The former ECW World Champion’s debut was kept a big secret by everyone in TNA, with his late arrival to the building being the ultimate way to prevent spoilers from leaking to the net. Lashley appeared at the top of the entrance ramp at the conclusion of the Lethal Lockdown match while everyone in the ring looked on with shock, except M.E.M. front man Kurt Angle who was smiling.

There have been rumors of Taz signing with TNA over the last few weeks and debuting at Lockdown, but the Human Suplex Machine was nowhere to be seen on the PPV broadcast.

The second former champion identity that was "unlocked" at Lockdown Stevie Richards, who had previously only been known as the faceless Dr. Stevie. He has held Heavyweight championships for numerous indy promotions.

I must say, they did a good job of keeping it a secret. Very good. As for it not being Taz, I love how that very same site said a week ago that Taz was basiclaly confirmed for TNA.

I was right that it wasn't Taz. Wewt for me.

Anyways, I loved Lashley. This is so awesome.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I think they tried hard to make us think that it was Taz. I was shocked it wasn't Taz. During the PPV when the music hit I was like Taz in the SB...then I seen Lashley's name pop up and I was like...or not. But I think this could be an awesome gain for TNA if done right. Wonder what Angle was smiling about. Hopefully he isn't joining MEM.

 

[★Chuck Zombie★]

I hate Lashley. Hope this is very short-term.

I dont think Stevie is the second former champion if anybody watched Lockdown last night it look like the second champion is going to be revealed at a later date and will most probably be taz especially from what spoiler sites are saying.

I like Lashley and he is going to join M.E.M you can just tell. On another note Taz could join very soon, in my eyes

 

[Beer Money Army]

hmm Lashley. I can see the TNA originals being pushed back once again, by a former WWE talent. shame on them

but we can hear Lashley say "bathturd" in tna form.

I like this, imo Lashley fits the TNA style. He can go in the ring, and will probably have great matches with the likes of Daniels, Styles and even Jarrett. Can't wait for Lashley vs. Joe, that'll be his first fued (assuming he joins MEM)

 

[C4]

I was pretty shocked when I heard this. I've always loved Bobby Lashley.

At least it's better than Tazz.

 

[MJ807]

I cant wait to hear that womanly voice of Lashley again.

 

[THE Brian Kendrick's Biceps]

I like this, imo Lashley fits the TNA style.

rofl. The guy who can't cut a promo suits a company that has twenty minutes of wrestling a week?

But instead of lashley saying bathturd in a 4 sided ring, this time it will be in a 6 sided ring. Everyone will mark out. :shifty:

 

[JurassicBonez]

TNA hid this very good. But with all that read about him being dedicated to MMA training and getting into UFC, I don't think this will be long term. If it is, hoping he'll be in the Mafia.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

Bobby Lashley on the Mafia really doesn't make any sense

Bobby Lashley on the Mafia really doesn't make any sense

Agreed. He's not trying to hold onto his spot and he's not necessarily old.
