Bobby Lashley Discusses Leaving WWE, Kurt Angle; More

Former ECW Champion and former WWE Superstar Bobby Lashley recently sat down with Britain’s newspaper the Daily Star.

The following are highlights from the interview:

Departing WWE: “I asked for my release. I did. I was going through a bunch of circumstances out of my control. I wanted to keep going and make things happen, looking for a bigger year and do some main events. It’s always a learning business, and I was always looking to learn. Sometimes you don’t get that opportunity.  “Sometimes people want to halt you, no matter how hard you work, sometimes people wanna keep you down, and sometimes they win. I tried to move around and position myself in a different spots. I wanted to be able to move on and keep going. I shouldn’t talk about this because I want to stay in a good mood today!”

MMA: “I want to be an MMA guy who used to wrestle.”

TNA: “The one thing about TNA - they have a great thing going for them, and a lot of people don’t realise it. To bring Booker and Angle and Christian. You cannot continue to let stars like that go to the competition and expect them not to be noticed.”
 
Potential TNA Opponents:  “I never had the opportunity to fight, feud, or team with Kurt Angle and I want to. Samoa Joe - I’d love to strap on the mits with him one time, or wrestle or whatever. If I could go for one main event I definitely would. I have not crossed out TNA.”
