Bobby Lashley Pioneered Bridging the Gap Between MMA and Pro Wrestling

BAD MMA News — Sun, 30 Jun 2013 00:00:03 +0000

Courtesy of Damon Martin and official MMAWeekly.com content partner Bleacher Report . Before “King” Mo Lawal and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson landed their historic deals that saw them sign with both Bellator to compete in MMA as well as TNA Wrestling to begin their pro wrestling careers, Bobby Lashley was an old hand at the trade. A former collegiate standout in wrestling, Lashley was a quick pickup several years ago for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) where he cut his teeth in the industry and became one of the company’s biggest stars during his years with the organization. Following an injury that saw him exit the WWE in 2008, Lashley began pursuing his new career in mixed martial arts, where he competed in several promotions including a few fights in Strikeforce. During that time, Lashley found his way back into pro wrestling as well, working local shows as well as becoming a mainstay at TNA wrestling. Lashley has known since day one that he decided to dedicate his life to both MMA and pro wrestling that it was going to be hard on his body and mind, but his passion never faded and he continues to walk both roads today. It’s not an easy path to travel, however, and Lashley is quick to offer advice to both Lawal and Jackson that being the best in MMA and pro wrestling won’t come easy.

Could UFC, Daniel Cormier Help Save Olympic Wrestling with Crossover Matches?

BAD MMA News — Fri, 28 Jun 2013 22:17:54 +0000

There has been a rallying cry in the wrestling community ever since the Olympic committee decided to yank the sport from the Games starting in 2020. Since that time, wrestling has made it onto the short list to be re-added to the Olympics with a final vote coming later this year, but the supporters of the sport have learned a valuable lesson that anything less than growing is dying. In that vain, it appears the wrestling world is looking to take the next big step in promoting the sport on a national level. With the success of the jiu-jitsu promotion Metamoris putting on a major show just a few weeks ago that attracted a solid live audience, as well as buyers on pay-per-view, wrestling may be headed towards a similar format. On the heels of the recent U.S. World Team Trials in Oklahoma, efforts are being made along with USA wrestling to potentially build a promotable event similar to Metamoris featuring the best of the best in the wrestling world competing against one another. Sources have indicated that an event is potentially being planned for September with wrestlers from all walks of life being asked to participate in the event. In one of the biggest moves, however, rumors have it that the group organizing the effort is also targeting some of the biggest stars in the mixed martial arts world to participate in the event. Many of the top fighters in the UFC , Bellator and other promotions have come from wrestling backgrounds, so it makes perfect sense to showcase them on this type of event.
