Bobby Lashley On If He Would Ever Return To WWE, If Bound For Glory Will Happen

TNA World Heavyweight Champion Bobby Lashley recently spoke to ESPN about TNA’s current situation, Bound For Glory and more. You can check out the full interview here along with some highlights below.

What Billy Corgan brings to TNA: “He brings a fresh outlook. He’s just another person to talk to. Billy is a cool guy. He is an open ear, that’s one thing. When different people come into your organization, especially what we’ve been going through, you get kind of worried that somebody is going to push their way in and change everything. He hasn’t really done that. He has been really open and has been a huge person to talk to. One thing he always says is, “My door is open and here is my personal number so just give me a call.” That’s one thing that has been really cool. Because at the end of the day, no one is going to tell us how to do our jobs better than we already know.”

Possibly returning to WWE: “It would have to be the right deal if it was. I don’t know if there is even an opportunity. There are certain people in the business who may not want you there and that’s why I left the first time. I don’t know if there is even a possibility of going back but their schedule is challenging. A lot of their guys are dealing with that. If I were to go back full-time, it would have to be something we sit down and really piece together and make it make sense. I would hate to say yes I’m doing it and get back and then it’s, “Oh no. Boo-hoo. What about my kids?” I don’t want to have a bad attitude. So I would have to really sit down and say this is what we can do.”

If Bound For Glory will happen: “Yes, because one thing people don’t understand is that [current owner] Dixie [Carter] is not broke. She was never close to being broke. Her parents are billionaires so it’s not like they don’t have the money. They are just trying to make the right deal and that’s what we have known all along. I think it’s just one of those deals where this is business and it’s going to happen every year. For at least the past five or six years that I have known, around that end of the year point there’s always this, “Oh no, is TNA going to be sold? Is TNA going here? Is TNA going there?” And then next thing you know, bam, everything is fine and then we run again. And then the next year it’s the same question. I don’t know why it’s the same deal every year and it gets to that point. I think right now they are just trying to make the right deals with the right people. I know a lot of people have their hands in the pot and a lot of people are trying to pitch different things. Whenever the deal is done, it’s done.”
