Bobby Lashley came on Submission Radio for a chat on this weeks
episode.
When it comes to TNA getting cancelled Bobby thought if anyone
leaves it's going to be TNA leaving to go somewhere else "In my
contract it says nothing about negotiating deals with any
networks, so I try to stay out of that part of it. I know what
Dixie [Carter] does, and Dixie is good at trying to find the
right path for where she needs to have the show. You know,
they've been around for 12 years. I don't think they're going
anywhere right now, whether it's Destination America, Spike, or
whatever it is. I'm sure they're going to be able to reach an
agreement, reach a deal where they're going to have a home, and
they're going to be there for a long time. If they leave
Destination America I think it would be a shame because of the
amount of talent that we have on that show. I mean for the
people that watch TNA, they know the kind of talent. I mean
there's some really big names there. I mean you got the Hardy
Boyz, you got Kurt Angle, myself, MVP. There's a lot of really
high - Bobby Roode, Eric Young. There's a lot of really, really
good - Kennedy - over there. I mean there's so many guys over
there that it would be.....if they do die, there would be
another promotion somewhere that's just ready to scoop up all
these guys and already have a main level roster right off the
bat. So I don't know. I don't see it happening. It'd be
ridiculous for them to part ways. If anybody leaves it's going
to be TNA leaving to go somewhere else."
WWE NXT has taken the world by storm and when asked about the
show Bobby expressed that while he liked it he'd like to see
more WWE veterans hired for the program "I think it's great. I
think what they're doing down there is great. They're building
some guys up so those guys learning how to be superstars and do
some big things, and when they do come up to the main roster,
they're ready because they do get a little bit of superstar
status when they're there because they have a TV channel and
everything like that. The only thing that I wish that they would
do is that there's a lot of guys out right now that they could
really use to kind of mix into their program that I think would
give those guys even bigger boosts. You have guys like Shelton
Benjamin, you have Chris Masters, Carlito, you have John
Morrison, you have a lot of really, really good guys out there,
but they're like "No. We're not going to touch those guys
because we really want to develop these younger guys". I
understand that, but I think [Hurricane] Helms said it best,
it's like you can't go to a professional game and not have some
of the professionals out there. And I think what they have going
on right now they have some really good names, I think they
should just kind of mix it up a little bit more. And then
another thing is I think they should use some of the guys that
are out there right now, instead of these guys travelling around
the world, independent promotions all over the place. You've
already built these guys up, might as well use them to boost
your guys and then give them an honourable retirement after the
deal?"
While on the program Submission Radio had to find out what the
biggest difference between working for Vince and Dixie was Bobby
explained "I think Vince is more of a business man and Dixie is
more of a like a family person. Dixie kind of stays away from
the business aspect and lets the people run the company, but at
the same time Dixie is so big on the family, and I have no
problem brining my kids there, bringing them backstage, meeting
the guys and everything like that. She wants it to be more of a
family environment. Whereas Vince, it's business. It's really
business in the WWE. I mean both of them have their great
qualities, but I think that's the big difference between the
two."

Finally a man of few words Lashley was asked if he'd consider
returning to the WWE for one last run before it's all said and
done...Lashely's response "sure".
