Tom Lawlor shares his thoughts on WWE talent competing at Bloodsport events.
In 2024, WWE stars Shayna Baszler, Brutus Creed, and Julius Creed, among others, have competed at Josh Barnett's Bloodsport events. At Bloodsport XI, Brutus Creed defeated Tom Lawlor, while Julius Creed beat Matt Makowski and Shayna Baszler defeated Miyu Yamashita. Charlie Dempsey also competed at the show, and he lost to Royce Isaacs.
Speaking with Scott Fishman for TV Insider, Tom Lawlor was asked to comment on WWE working with other companies.
"It’s good in some ways, but I’m always leery of what the underlying motive is behind a lot of these things. We’ve seen for the past 40 years that WWE might play nice for a little bit, but at the end of the day, it’s about them. Of course, there is a new regime in there, but I don’t know. For example, I’m wrestling Brutus Creed, and to me, I was on the A side of that match. Brutus Creed wasn’t coming down to do me a favor. The guy puked before the match because he was so nervous. That match was about me. I think a lot of guys will go into those situations and downgrade themselves. Like, “Oh, he is a WWE guy. He is on a higher level.” It’s awesome to see these kinds of matchups, but it’s really to their benefit," Lawlor said.
Josh Barnett is set to face MVP at Bloodsport XII. More information is available here.
Bobby Steveson previously expressed his interest in competing at Bloodsport. Check out his comments here.
