You might have asked that question when Lashley showed up at Lockdown. Lashley has a simple response; he needs to pay the bills.
Lashley explained his decision to work with TNA in a press release for an MMA show he’s appearing on this weekend. PW Torch’s James Caldwell provides the quotes along with his own interpretation of how contract negotiations with TNA went down. It’s nice to see he has readers that get butt hurt when he throws his own two cents in, too. I feel a bond with the man.
At any rate, Lashley sees TNA as a day job, a way to provide for his family while learning the ropes in MMA. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me, but I’m not sure his presence in TNA will make a lot wrestling or MMA fans happy. Not that it matters in the long run, given the whole “I want my family to eat” motivation for showing up in the Impact Zone a couple times a month.
