Shelton Benjamin gives high praise to Bobby Lashley.
Bobby Lashley worked very closely with Shelton Benjamin as part of The Hurt Business business in 2020. Not only has Benjamin gotten to with Lashley as a partner, but he has also had the opportunity to face him inside the ring.
Appearing on the Kurt Angle Show podcast, Benjamin reflected on what it was like to work with Lashley and why he feels that Bobby Lashley is almost too grateful, a rarity in the wrestling industry.
"Bobby Lashley, extremely generous in the ring, to a fault. There were times we would be putting together matches and guys would suggest things to do with Bobby, and Bobby is nice. Bobby is like, ‘Yeah, sure.’ That’s when me or Cedric or MVP would step up and go...we understood where Vince was trying to get Bobby and we would go, ‘No, no. You can do that with me, you can do that with him. You can’t do that to Bobby.’ We were protecting Bobby even when Bobby wouldn’t protect himself. When Bobby was willing to do business, we were like. ‘No. We know where they’re trying to get you.’ Everybody was working to help everybody else," said Benjamin.
Elsewhere in this interview, Benjamin opened up about weighing his options as a free agent. Read more here.
