   I just caught Sportnet's MMA Connected and saw that Lashley was only 2 weeks too late from signing on with Strikeforce for their Nov. 7th card. He lamented that if it were not for his wrestling commitments, he would have fought, but has yet to finalize a deal with Stirkeforce for when/if he will fight next.
   Just an editorial, but Lashly seemed to legitimately regret his commitments with TNA, but his fulfilment of said contract speaks volumes about his character.
   On a side note, I met Lashley in Vegas this summer and he seemed excited about his jump to MMA but still did not downplay the power of his name in profesional wrestling. From what I got, he's a businessman first but truly wanted to succeed in the legitimate sport of MMA.

   Also, GSP said that since neither he nor his friends are fighting on the Strikeforce: Fedor vs Rogers event, he will NOT be watching (really???!!!???)

   GSP on Shogun vs Machida:
   "I do believe Rua was supposed to win the fight"

   Vera: "This is not a job anymore, this is my life"

   ^ Lahley is HUGE! wow he is soo big its unbelievable. Like hearing how he is a business man and sounds humble. and yes shogun should have won but rematch is soon i hope. About strikeforce card, dont care who wins both seem like nice guys but what an upset if brett rogers wins. WOOOOO

   come on bigmike, don't need the sarcasm. I'm bored and watching tv at 11:30pm and saw something potentially interesting that American tv viewers wouldn't get.

   Thanks for sharing, I do believe it possible he is not exactly happy at the way his TNA contract may have adversely affected his MMA career.

   @ devilman - thanks for the 411.

   From what I've heard from my friends who are majorly into pro wrestling, TNA's fortunes are about to pick up, as they've signed Hulk Hogan about 10 days ago.
   I know it sounds hard to believe, but from what I've been told, and read, Hogan still puts a$$es in seats, and bumps PPV numbers, even at like 55 years of age.
   Possibly this upswing in TNA business might put some more money in Lashley's pocket, and make him a little less miserable about his day job...
