Bobby Lashley Discusses His Current Run in TNA, His Thoughts on CM Punk Moving to MMA, How TNA Can Compete with WWE, and More

GiveMeSport.com recently interviewed TNA world champion Bobby Lashley. Below are some highlights.

His thoughts on how TNA can compete with WWE: “I think right now that we’re building in the right direction and I don’t want to say they are declining but they are at a bit of a standstill. Getting mixed reactions, while that’s happening, we’re rising up. I think that in the future it will get to a point where there will be a little bit more competition between the two.”

His thoughts on the differences in his current run in TNA from his previous one: “Yeah, my first run I wasn’t completely right and wasn’t able to give it 100% like I wanted too. I had some time in between to wrestle a bit and this time had more chance to settle in. And this time it has been a lot better, my work rate has been a lot better as well as getting to work with some top guys. And I’m pretty proud to holding that title for TNA right now.”

His thoughts on the differences between TNA and WWE: “You know here I like the cohesive unit and everyone is on the same page, no real back stabbing and none of that politics that usually go on, especially in the wrestling business. I know that everyone coming here is like we’re about to blow this show outta there. Everyone is on the same page with that. People will enjoy the things we do and in the long run they’ll be a shift.”

His thoughts on CM Punk in MMA: “I think he’ll do great, he’s had plenty of time to train. Once he has got all of the training in. I believe he’ll go out there and show the crowd that he is ready for it and I think he’ll earn a lot of respect for doing it. I know a lot of people will be watching. I know I will!”
