We reported earlier this week that Bobby Lashley & EC3 both finished with Impact Wrestling this past weekend at the television tapings and the belief is that they could be headed to WWE.

PWInsider reports that EC3 is completely free from his Impact obligations and is free to sign with WWE at any time. Lashley won’t be free until February 1st, so that would eliminate any chances of him making a special appearance at the upcoming Royal Rumble event.

Speaking of EC3, Dixie Carter posted the following on Twitter regarding his departure:

Can’t tell you how proud I am to be the aunt of @therealec3. This guy is special. He deserves great things. Excited for your future E, whatever it holds. @IMPACTWRESTLING @wwe https://t.co/xUGkhlhKrq

Jimmy Jacobs Crashes WrestleCircus’ Party

Recently “freed” former WWE writer Jimmy Jacobs seems to be popping up everywhere since he and WWE parted ways. Last weekend, it was at ROH War Of The Worlds, and tonight, it was WrestleCircus in Texas. Jacobs showed up at the end of Sami Callihan’s match and proceeded to take Callihan out.

The Zombie Princess got on the house mic and didn’t hold back on how he was feeling.

”For the last two years, I’ve been writing promos for guys who couldn’t hold my microphone.”

He then encouraged fans to take pictures with him during the show’s intermission. Apparently, his “You’re Fired Selfie” is a big thing these days.

Bobby Lashley On Bound For Glory

During a recent interview, Bobby Lashley talked about stepping into the Six Sides Of Steel at next month’s Impact Wrestling Bound For Glory.

“It’s home for me. It’s not a big deal for me. I was ready for almost anything. I’ve had little feuds with Moose from time to time, and I think Moose is a great competitor. However, right now my game is at a very high level so I don’t think anybody can really match the level that I’m at. It’s just for me, I just have to decide what I’m gonna do. That’s the big thing that’s been going on right now. It’s, am I going to go full time wrestling or am I gonna go full time fighting, but I think the pay-per-view is going to definitely determine what I do.”

ESPN recently interviewed TNA wrestler Bobby Lashley. Lashley spoke about a variety of topics during his time with them.

The former WWE Intercontinental Champion revealed in this interview, his exact feelings when he first arrived in TNA after having a successful run with the WWE. Here’s what the TNA World Champion said:

“When I came over from the WWE, I didn’t know what to think. Wrestling is wrestling. WWE is the flagship program, of course. But there’s just so much incredible talent [here]. …When I came over and worked with Bobby Roode, we did two matches together, I thought he was amazing. Amazing. The guy is really good. Bobby Roode is born to be their star. And I’m glad they found something with him. That ‘Glorious’ thing is pretty nice.”
