Lashley's TNA Future?, Knockouts Concerned Over Recent Firings

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

? TNAWrestlingNews.com is reporting that Bobby Lashley isn't expected to be doing any hard matches until October. He is trying to avoid any injuries as he is training for an upcoming fight with the same company that helped promote "Ultimate Chaos" back in late June when Lashley fought Bob Sapp. The company is running an event in Denver on October 3rd and there is talks of having Lashley take on former pro wrestler Ron 'H2O' Waterman. Believe it or not, there was a plan in place for Lashley to face Tank Abbott in Denver but that is now off since Tank is fighting that night in Birmingham. Lashley is expected to start having more matches in TNA after this fight.

? There is much concern among the women of TNA since Dutch Mantel and Savio Vega ? who were let go last week ? were usually the agents for their matches. Furthermore, Mantel was heavily involved in the women's segments. However, TNAWrestlingNews.com is reporting that the feeling is that as long as the women consistently draw the best ratings on iMPACT! (which is why their segments are often placed at the top of the second hour), there will be time allotted to them.
