– Bellator MMA and Impact Wrestling Star Bobby Lashley spoke with RealSport and discussed a wide variety wrestling topics, check out the highlights below:
On his upcoming Six Sides of Steel match at Bound For Glory:
“It’s home for me. It’s not a big deal for me. I was ready for almost anything. I’ve had little feuds with Moose from time to time, and I think Moose is a great competitor. However, right now my game is at a very high level so I don’t think anybody can really match the level that I’m at. It’s just for me, I just have to decide what I’m gonna do. That’s the big thing that’s been going on right now. It’s, am I going to go full time wrestling or am I gonna go full time fighting, but I think the pay-per-view is going to definitely determine what I do.”
On Samoa Joe’s current run in WWE:
“Joe’s great, Joe’s great. Everybody knew there was no doubt about it when Joe started and when Joe got his chance to be on a bigger stage, he was really gonna let loose and make it happen, and that’s exactly what happened. Joe is an incredible athlete, incredible talent, and he gets it. He’s always got it. I think the cool thing about Joe also is that everybody else has a lot of respect for Joe. Joe’s gone out there and had great matches with everyone, and everyone knows that they can get in the ring with him and have a good match. When I had the opportunity to wrestle with him at that time, it was the same thing. It was awesome. It was a good opportunity.”
On wanting to finally face Brock Lesnar:
“Whichever one pays more. I really don’t care. At the end of the day, we’ve gotta feed our kids, and right now I think either one will do it. It’s one of those things where UFC, with the Floyd Mayweather thing, I know it’s not gonna be as big as that, but Mayweather and Conor McGregor came up there and they actually crossed. It was like, Dana White shook hands with Floyd Mayweather in a different promotion and made something magical. I think at the end of the day, these people are gonna understand the same thing.”
On deciding between MMA or professional wresting:
“Yes, because I can professional wrestle forever. My body is in great shape. I feel good, and I have no problems jumping out there and doing it. So, that’s not the issue. The issue is you gotta be great at something. Right now, I have an opportunity that I can be great at fighting or I can be great at wrestling if I just focus all my attention on one or the other. That’s where I’m at right now trying to figure it out.”
