Forgotten WWE Superstar Shelton Benjamin Talks, WrestleManiArt - Jeff Hardy Painting - Video
The Cincinnati News has got an article on one of the most talented
WWE superstar on the roster today, Shelton Benjamin. In my opinion (which probably doesn’t mean much) is not properly pushed on the WWE roster.
Benjamin gave the crowd at WrestleMania one hell of an “Money in The Bank” kladder match to remember. Leaping off an 16 foot ladder accompanied with an swan ton dive…In the words of the WWE fans “HOLYY SHIT!”.
Here are a few snippets from the interview:
Benjamin believe pro-wrestling is the toughest sport out there today:
To me, pro wrestlers are the toughest athletes, period. And I say this very proudly, and I say this because unlike any other sport or entertainment profession, we don’t have an off-season. If you’re in sports, you have an off-season. If you’re in television, you have a certain number of weeks where you shoot your show and then you’re off to another project or whatever. For us, there is no break in the action.
Secondly, we are the only people that I’m aware of that go on no matter what. There are tons of times - people don’t even recognize it - that we get hurt in the ring, but we’re such professionals and most of us have such pride in what we do that even when we’re hurt, we still go on.
What does Benjamin what to be known for?:
In the ring, obviously, I want to be known as one of the best of all time. If they ever do a top 50 pro wrestlers of all-time, I’d like to be in at least the top 10. That’s a pretty bold statement, and there’s an endless list of people to knock off that I give much respect to, mostly guys I’m a fan of myself.
