— Newark Patch has published an article on Big Time Wrestling’s BTW SuperShow 2012 event last Saturday featuring former WWE Superstars Bobby Lashley, Chris Masters, Daivari and Matt Hardy. Lashley, who defeated Masters in the main event, explained why he competes at independent wrestling events.
“I was an amateur wrestler and I wrestled for several years so I still paid my dues with amateur wrestling for 20 years before getting into the pro wrestling… [WWE] saw me. They thought that I had a good look, which I do!” Lashley said. “If [independent wrestling groups] need a little boost and bring in some names so be it. I think it’s a great idea, an awesome opportunity, and I’m going to try to do as many [independent shows] as I can.”
