TNA World Heavyweight Champion Eddie Edwards recently appeared on Interactive Wrestling Radio with host James Walsh to promote Total Nonstop Deletion, where he fill defend his title against Bobby Lashley in a Dome of Deletion match. The full interview can be heard here. Below are highlights sent to us by the show:
The Total Nonstop Deletion concept:

The product that is going on in the ring right now is top notch, top of the world. We’ve tried to put on the best show, the best product that we can and that has never wavered. As for what is going on behind the scenes, rumors are rumors. Sometimes even half-truths aren’t even half-truths, you know what I mean? We just have to go about our business and handle our stuff.
