Lashley to Network Television
Jake Rossen Mar 18, 2010
Plumbers! Auto workers! Bouncers! Auditions are available now for
an April 17 booking against Bobby
Lashley -- according to MMAJunkie.com, the latest addition to
Strikeforce’s primetime network card.
Since debuting in late 2008, Lashley has taken on a who’s-who of less than intimidating competition. Lashley frustrates not because he’s not any good, but because audiences seem to have more faith in his potential that he does.
Considering that a quality heavyweight is unlikely to take a fight on less than a month’s notice, it’s a trend that will probably continue. If that’s Lashley’s preference, fine -- but why subject network television audiences to it?
