Shelton Benjamin was not too impressed with Hulk Hogan
getting his name wrong multiple times in media interviews.
Hogan mentioned Benjamin’s name while promoting his new Real
American Freestyle Wrestling league when discussing how some
wrestlers found their calling by transitioning to pro
wrestling.
But The Hulkster called him “Benjamin Shelton” on more than
one occasion, seemingly unaware that his name is the other
way round.
Reacting to it on X, the now-AEW star wrote, “You lost me
forever with your ‘don’t get caught’ …or as you would call
it ‘apology’ speech. So rather than screw up my name and
pretend we ever had any sort of camaraderie which we never
had. Please do me a favour &…”
He then added a GIF of Will Smith at the Oscars a few years
back telling Chris Rock to “keep my name out of your f*cking
mouth.”
The “don’t get caught” dig was when Hogan was told to
apologize to the WWE locker room after he returned from a
ban following the release of a video where he said racist
remarks. In his speech, Hogan cautioned the boys and girls
in the back to be careful of what they say and not get
caught because everyone has a cell phone and could be
filming nowadays.
Benjamin’s team mate, MVP, also chimed in on X describing
Hogan as a “pathological lying piece of human excrement.”
