Damn, I wonder what the evil is that he is speaking about. My money is on Triple H.

That sounds like it came straight out of Ultimate Warrior's mouth.

Evil has prevailed? Man, this is deep.
PWInsider is reporting today that Lashley has most definitely informed WWE that he wants to leave the company at this time. While there are said to be a number of reasons for Lashley coming to this decision, one has to do with his girlfriend Kristall Marshall and the way she was treated by the WWE leading to her eventual release from the company.
Another reported reason has to do with Lashley's frustration with a lack of communication with WWE while he has been out rehabbing. There was said to be little to no communication between Lashley and Vince McMahon while he was away and was told there were no firm plans for a return to TV even though he is now healed and ready to go. At this point, Lashley is expected to negotiate an official release from WWE as he is still under contract with the company. Plans can always change, but as of now Lashley's plan is to move on according to reports today.
I think Marshall left as she didn't want to do any of those bra and panties type matchs or something.
Damn, Lashley grew on me. He was great in the 06 Rumble and that cage spot with Umaga was incredible. A pretty big loss for the WWE as he was very over and could have been a big name for them over the next few years.
Wonder if he too will go to TNA?....
I guess that means he is not in the rumble, shame.

There has been stuff going around about Lashley doing MMA, which seems to be the way most wrestlers go now.
As for Kristal, she did refuse to do those matches so Stephanie fired her for having a bad attitude and then was backstabbing her right infront of Lashley.
I'm to guess WWE don't know a good thing when they have one. Like Lesnar, Lashley was a big man who could wrestle. Something WWE don't have many of.

I feel sorry for him and his girlfriend but I dont think hes a particular loss, generic muscle men are ten a penny, he will be replaced by someone else who can spear someone, he was carried to a good match with Umaga and he has as much charisma as a plank of wood dipped in anti charisma paint

Lashley was a prospect with no personality. He was booked completely wrong in my opinion.
He should have been booked as a heel with a manager to say all his lines for him, as he was obviously too nice to act nasty.
Whyever WWE did not embrace managers full-time again is beyond me.
Now more than ever is the time to bring back managers and stables, especially in the aftermath of the Benoit thing, which demanded a return to Kayfabe and the cartoon era, if only to take our minds off the real problems with the industry.
I feel a bit sorry for Lashley, as he definitely had the look of a champion. I just think his positives were a bit neglected by creative. Instead, his gimmick was that he was a a "soft-spoken" hardcase.
How weak is that?
He should have been the new Warlord for crying out loud.
Imagine a tag team with him and Tomko and there you have the new Powers Of Pain.
Nostalgia has more of a place in wrestling now than it has for the last five years. I want to be reminded of the glory years, and the characters of bygone days.
I don't really care much for trying to be original. Originality is spontaneous, that's why it works. It's always unintentional.
People like what they like, not what they are told to like.
I like to think us wrestling fans are a bit smarter than the easily-pleased knob-head off the street.

Sorry to double-post, but WWE just took down Lashley's profile from WWE.com.
I guess this is almost official. He's a goner.

Unless it's a huge swerve and he shows up in the Rumble?!
Probably not, but it would be great if it was.

Dont know which is worse for him, cause he wont ever be top of his game, and he will never be as good as Brock Lesnar |

More Lashley news:
Source: Wrestling Observer
- Despite Lashley being the one that instigated his release, at a recent Smackdown/ECW taping Vince McMahon told the stars that he fired Lashley to make an example out of someone that complained in the company. In other words that's what happens if you complain.
--------
'Yeah so if you complain....you can quite of you own free will!" Nice one Vince. He really is a dictator.

Vince is less than a dictator, he's a dick. We are still carrying on that English lesson here Steala.
Everyone knows Lashley left because he wanted to. Vince's ego is stupidly huge.

I was just reading though that Lashley was bitching about only gettiing $250,000 for his Mania match. What a greedy bastard. After hearing that I lost respect for him.
