PrintIn an interview with Heavy.com:
I had a talk with [TNA] a while back about doing both [MMA and wrestling]. Everything seemed to be working well," Lashley recently told Heavy. "I think maybe there were some complications there towards the end. I got back home and got all these calls from people saying that I had been released from wrestling. So as far as I know, I've been released, so yes, I can focus full time on MMA."
The fact of the matter is, it was going to have to be one or the other for Bobby Lashley if he ever was going to really try to become a legitimate heavyweight threat. Also, this is just another example of have non-exclusive contracts are not really that great for the most part. Because usually one side of the deal feels they are getting shitted on at some point. The rumors are swirling that Lashley will have his next fight on the April Strikeforce card that will air on CBS. His rumored opponent at the moment is Brett Rogers. Now what are the odds that Lashley can become a legitimate heavyweight since he''ll supposedly be training in MMA full time now?

Lashley isn’t “cut”, as all reports from the wrasslin’ side of things indicate it was a pretty open contract; he’s no longer on TNA’s “active roster”, but there is still a good relationship for him to come back when he’s done fighting.
I think that this is a good start for Lashley, but I don’t think that him wrestling was holding him back from MMA. Like, I could say that my eating habits are holding ME back from being a legit fighter (which they are), but I’m also way too damn lazy to even think of picking up a combat sport. Lashley is similar, although he has all of the physical gifts, and certainly the ability.. but he doesn’t seem to put it all together. From reports, he doesn’t train consistantly (and didn’t, even before returning to wrestling), but I suppose this frees up some of his time to at least give it a shot, if he wanted.
