Bathturd has been flushed down the toilet.
 

Former ECW champion Bobby Lashley, who was expected to return from his injuries this month, has parted ways with World Wrestling Entertainment, according to Lashley's official website.

Lashley, who debuted with the Smackdown brand in 2005, moved to the ECW brand in December 2006 with the idea that the brand would be built around him. He received a huge promotional push and won the ECW belt at the December to Dismember PPV.

WWE's push continued featuring Lashley going right a Wrestlemania 23 headline match against Umaga with Donald Trump and Vince McMahon as their respective seconds which was promoted heavily to the media due to Trump's involvement and the hair vs. hair stipulation that saw McMahon shaved bald in the center of the ring.

The Wrestlemania match led to a feud with McMahon where Lashley lost and regained the ECW title. Lashley was drafted to the Raw brand in June 2007 and vacated the ECW belt. He had been out of the ring since last July, when he finally took time off to have surgery and rehab rotator cuff and shoulder problems that had been nagging him for several months.

On the forum of his official website, www.BobbyLashleyOnline.com, Lashley commented, "Circumstances, which are out of my control left me no decision but to leave the WWE. I can't go into details of this now but like I said before, sometimes people will hate you personally and try to destroy you, which has happened here. Evil has prevailed. However like I said before, if you continue your struggle, doors will open around these people. You have not seen the last of me, so please don't stop your support. Add Bobby Lashley to the list of RECENTLY RELEASED!"

Lashley, a former amateur champion who also served in the Army, originally signed with the company in 2003 and spent time in Ohio Valley Wrestling before being brought up to the main roster.

Lashley teased a potential MMA interest on 1/16, writing, "I am not sure what I will be doing the next few months. I said I am in fighting shape because if I am not wrestling, I will be fighting. Wrestling is my passion but sometimes things are out of your control. The time off I've had was well needed and was not in vain. I had surgery in August, which was pretty serious. I had to have 5 connectors put in my shoulder to repair my torn labrum. I was slated to be out for 6 months but I think that diagnosis was for an average person. I’m ready for action and I have been for some time now. Whatever action that may be, I will be ready."

Lashley noted that he had just purchased a home in Parker, Colorado and that he expected WWE to acknowledge the release by the end of the week. Word of his departure made its way around the WWE locker room at tonight's Smackdown and ECW taping. As of this writing, he is still listed on the Raw brand's roster page

It's not April 1st yet.

There's nothing on his site

How many "e"s in Swerve?

If it was even him that posted that.

I'll believe it when I see it on WWE.com. However if this is true then that is very shocking!

Read the front page, he posted it on his message board.

Remember, Booker T parted with the company well before they actually announced it on WWE.com

And you need to register to join the forum, someting that to be honest I can't be fucked to do.

It is on Wikipedia, though it's up to you whether you wanna believe it or not.

Looks like TNA gets another wash-up... Borby Lorshly.

I say he pulled a Jerry Lawler and packed his bags too after Kristal quit.

High five

But damn him for not coming back from injury, not giving me the chance to make fun of his cruiserweight body

This smells like one "Work".

:shifty:

I take it all back, it's true.

Boone is reporting it!

:'(

"Do we love Bobby?"

"NO!"

:rofl:

Honestly, I think he will be resigned within the year.

He will realize "I maed a boo boo guys, I want back into WWE"

and WWE will say,

"We love ya bobby"

And then wrestlers will job to him.

*Bobby's music hits..."

Tazz: Oh my God, Joey! Here comes the-... Oh, nevermind, it's only Lashley...

And we thought he was going to win the Rumble. Maybe this is just a publicity stunt. A lot of kids and women are going to miss him.

"I PLANNED TO BUY THE ROYAL RUMBLE TO SEE BOBBY LASHLEY... EVEN THOUGH HE WAS NEVER ADVERTISED! I'M NOT GOING TO GET IT NOW!!1!! :mad:"

"I didn't take no thteroids!"

So a white guy with a huge push with the initials BL quits...

Then a black guy with a huge push with the initials BL quits..

I can't wait to see the asian guy that gets the big push with the initials BL

Great news. Looks like he'll be off to TNA then.

Good thread title btw.

So why did Kristal get fired again?

Because people were being EVIL!

Pay attention damn it.

And she's black.

I think this might be fake. I certainly wont believe it until its posted on WWE.com.

Dixie Carter: "Welcome to TNA Bobby and may we hire on you're girlfriend too?"

Soon enough...soon enough.

We're not this lucky.

I feel no loss here....

Now only if Cena would go the same route....or the route of The Rock....Just get him off my TV and finally wrestling will be a little bit more watchable from me again.

Lashley would get no ovation in TNA yet West would act like its the biggest signing ever in TNA.

Guys, its appearing more and more to be a fake.

I think this is fake and Lashley's sticking around.
