Five years ago, a petite, young, pretty model took part in a little competition called the Diva Search — who knew then that she’d open her mouth and turn out to be one of the best talkers we have right now? A Vickie Guerrero for TNA if you will, Kristal Lashley has been extremely impressive since she became the mouthpiece for her husband, Bobby Lashley in the company. Check out her promo from Monday’s live Impact below:

Even though she had a brief run as a wrestler in WWE, I think she’s found her true calling in the industry. She comes across so comfortable on the microphone, has fantastic inflection and makes you really feel the words she’s saying. Given that Bobby Lashley, as great an athlete as he may be, isn’t much of a charismatic talker — what a match made in heaven!
It’s crazy to think that this girl, who was in WWE for two years and flew under the radar, had all this potential bottled up inside of her. It just makes you wonder what many of the girls in WWE are capable of that we don’t know about yet.
As Steven says, Kristal really is a bad bish!

There’s quite a lot of Knockout wrestlers already, and if she got involved, she’d probably get lost in the shuffle. Kristal is a great mouthpiece, and I think she’d fair better as a manager in TNA.
well bobby lashley might soon be done with TNA since he just signed with Strikeforce, so I assume she would also leave TNA.
Macho Madness why would she leave if he leaves? you know that she’s the kayfabe wife of him?
amare – there’s nothing kayfabe about their marriage, silly. she’ll definately leave when he leaves, sadly.
that video has been removed… can you replace it cos i’d like to see it?
Here is a really good clip of kristal on the mic in WWE interviewing the divas backstage, it’s also quite funny so you should all watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78SWRJbIRVQ
amare135x they are dating in real life, they have a son!
They are really together in real life. I don’t think they are married yet, but I could be wrong. They have a son together.
oh oops.
Kristal is amazing. I hope when Bobby go to Strikeforce she doesn’t go because she a great mouthpiece. She could be Hamada and Kong manager.
not only this xxChristinaxx but she has the basic wrestling skills to back herself up to :D
according to wikipedia: “On the January 4, 2010, Monday night edition of Impact! Bobby and Kristal Lashley requested for their immediate release from TNA Wrestling.”
does anyone know if this is true?
they did thomas, but it’s kayfabe, part of their “we’re better than pro wrestling” storyline.
Kristal is good on the microphone. She was also progressing nicely as a wrestler in the WWE. She showed promise in some of her matches against Jillian.
okay thanks.
I don’t think Bobby’s leaving anytime soon. It could happen in the future but they wouldn’t be making a big storyline of it if they knew he was already out the door. I agree with xxChristinaxx too. If she still wants a job if/when Bobby eventually leaves, she’d make a great manager for Hamada/Kong or really just about anyone on the roster.
I have always loved Kristal. She was one of my fave women to come from the DS and I thought she was a great performer. I hope even if Bobby does decide to leave she stays and does something.
The video doesn’t work, anyone got a link?
Wait DW, got a link.

She truly is gold on the mic.
She’s a great example of someone being used in the capacity in which they are best suited.
It was embarrassing to see Kristal try to be Vickie. She even shouted “SHUT UP!” but it didn’t help her. She got scared. haha
