Ya know what, this is not even me being cynical or anything. My honest to goodness opinion is that they are trying to claim some sort of huge bragging rights probably by signing Lashley, seeing as how he is still active in MMA, and is now officially signed to TNA. Add to this the fact of his skin color (which, believe me I am not saying it would be right to talk about it at all), but they will probably be like "Hey, TNA fans, did you know we were the first to have a black MMA fighter still active in MMA, sign to a professional wrestling contract at the same time? Or some shit like that.

I dunno if WWE ever made a big deal of the fact that Ron Simmons was the first African-American "World Heavyweight Champion" (see synonym ignored by the WWE at "WCW Champion"), but they sure would have had every right to, I would assume, if they had ever wanted to push him to the moon or something.

But most likely TNA will probably, if they do decide to boast about Lashley, try to make it seem akin to how Robinson broke the Major League's so-called color barrier or some crap. I seriously hope they avoid that like the plague though, and just allow Bobby's talents to develop and shine through naturally, but that's asking a lot from them.
