Shelton Benjamin says he cheated.
Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley have been friends for years.🍬 They previousꦦly had a run together as members of the Hurt Business in WWE. Now, they have reunited with MVP to bring The Hurt Syndicate to AEW.
Speaking on , Shelton Benjamin commented on his friendship with Bobby Lasꦑhley and recalled how they had a shoot wrestling ma🐻tch in OVW.
“My relationship with Bobby actually started before his WWE debut. I was coming off an injury, I had broken my hand, and I went down to OVW just to get a few reps in. At the time, Bobby was still there training. We actually had a bit of an amateur wrestling match because at the time, typically if someone came in as a shooter, with amateur wrestling, I wanted to know, well, how good is he? It was crazy because they cleared the ring, and we kind of shot around for a bit. Bobby likes to say he won, and I like to say he cheated [laughs]. I was fighting honorably. I almost took him down twice, but he kept grabbing the rope and holding himself up. So when he finally got in on me, I didn’t grab the rope. So we will argue about that probably until we’re old men and gray [laughs]. But yeah, that’s when I found out, okay, he’s the real deal. He’s a great guy," Benjamin said.
Benjamin previously said he got yelled at for shoot wrestling Daniel Puder. Check out his comments here.
