Abyss and Bobby Lashley Updates, TNA Wrestler Misses TV Tapings Due To College

source: www.prowrestling.NET

-- TNA newcomer Consequences Creed was unable to appear at this week's set of Impact tapings because he still attends college and he had some classes to attend to. His role in TNA has been limited as of late due to college and thus he can't work a full-time schedule.

-- TNA taped several vignettes with Abyss at this week's tapings to set up his return. Also, TNA is looking to scale back his reliance on thumbtacks and blood & gore. A few of his peers believe that he relies too frequently on gimmick matches and doesn't have enough confidence in his actual wrestling ability.

-- TNA officials are hopeful that former WWE star Bobby Lashley signs with them because they see him as another big name with star power. Kurt Angle and Booker T have been doing their best to recruit him for the company. Most sources believe that it's only a matter of time before Lashley joins TNA. Lashley has also had some discussions with the NWE promotion (the promotion Ultimate Warrior is returning to) and Mexico's AAA promotion.
