Shelton Benjamin says he and Bobby Lashley are a one-two punch.
The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin) has established itself as a force to be reckoned with in AEW. In addition to their on-screen success, they are also friends in real life, and they have been for years,
Speaking on AEW Unrestricted, Shelton Benjamin discussed his friendship with Bobby Lashley. He went on to compare the group to The Avengers.
“When I choose my actual friends, I look at not so much…obviously, I respect what they do in the ring, but as a man, I see Bobby, I see him all the time spending time with his kids, doing all these things, and as a father myself, I admire stuff like that. I look at all his hard work, his work ethic. For me, birds of a feather flock together. When I see someone working that hard and someone who is so dedicated to his craft and his family, for me, those are the kind of people I want to be around because those are the kind of attributes I want to emulate. Obviously, me and Bobby, we’ve had quite a few matches in the past too, so again it’s that friendship formed through now. So now, we’re kind of a one-two punch. I guess the best way I would describe us that would make sense to people, if you’re watching The Avengers, MVP is clearly Tony Stark, I would like to say I’m somewhere between Thor and Captain America, but Bobby is clearly The Hulk [laughs]. That is the dynamic that I like to [say]," Benjamin said.
