LASHLEY ON LESNAR, ANDRADE RELEASE UPDATE, NEW WWE SIGNINGS, ALI ON RETRIBUTION, LANA ON OPPORTUNITIES AND MORE

In regard to Andrade requesting his release from the company, it was not granted.

WWE Champion Bobby Lashley talked up the idea of facing Brock Lesnar on TMZ.com, which given the timing as we head towards Wrestlemania, certainly is interesting.

Wrestlemania 37 is slated for a DVD release on 5/25 in both DVD and Blu-Ray.

If you missed it, our own Oliver Taylor broke over the weekend that WWE has signed Australian talents Matty Wahlberg and Steph De Lander for the NXT brand.

Mustafa  Ali was interviewed by Scott Fishman at TVInsider.com yesterday.  On getting the freedom to speak, Ali commented, "I can only speak of my experience with  Vince McMahon and the creative team, but not really. You can always tell them what you’re capable of doing, or you can show them. The first time I told Vince McMahon I’m a talker, he didn’t believe I was. So I recorded my own promos. I record my own videos. It’s a lot easier to show them what you’re capable of doing than telling them. I’ve got a pretty good range in terms of saying the things I do."

On how Retribution has fared thus far in WWE, Ali said, "The talent is there. The biggest obstacle and challenge the group faces is the “Why.” Who are we? Why are we here? What’s our vendetta against WWE and corporate infrastructure? We have not been able to tell that story. Retribution is still an opportunity to be on TV every week. We’ve done stuff, and everyone is aware who is in the group. But we’re not able to address who we really are. I haven’t explained why I’m the leader and what power I hold over these people. I’d like to do so. The fans have been left to connect the dots, which I never like to do. It’s a three-hour show. Stuffing 5,000 pounds into a five-pound bag isn’t going to work. We have to take our time. We’re doing the best with the time we’re given."
