Shelton Benjamin has a long, storied history with Brock Lesnar.
WWE Superstar Shelton Benjamin was a recent guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet. When asked if he remembers the first time he met Brock Lesnar, Benjamin said he did and told the story of when the two men first met.
“Yes, I do, actually. And it almost annoys me to tell the story,” Shelton Benjamin admitted. “Because we were at a wrestling tournament in, I want to say it was Fargo at their university, and Brock was still in junior college. And of course, we’re gonna say, you know, he’s hungry. Long story short, he won the tournament because I lost a match, and we would have wrestled, but he won the tournament.
“And he was a junior college kid, and I just remember everyone who saw him was like, you see that? There’s never been a scrawny version of Brock that I saw like; from the time we saw him, he was rocking it with our coaches was salivating to the point where after just because he was junior college they started they immediately started recruiting him. So I’m kind of over in the corner like I’m your heavyweight, and you are recruiting another heavy right in front of me, but I mean, you see the guy, how would you not?”
A surprising Brock Lesnar fact
“Something that you will be shocked to learn,” Shelton Benjamin teased. “Well, yes, everyone knows the Brock Lesnar persona. Now, if Brock is your friend, he will give you the shirt off his back nice guy in the world, fun and cool to hang around with. That might surprise people how actually cool Brock can be if he likes you, keywords if he likes you.
“But if he doesn’t like you, he’s just he’s what you what you’re seeing on TV that’s not an act. Like you’re not seeing a different version of Brock. You know, I spoke on this earlier Brock is not acting. Brock is not playing a role. Brock is Brock. What you’re seeing that’s real. Brock does not. He’s not social. He doesn’t give a blip. Like Brock is Brock, so don’t get it twisted. And yes, he’s a world destroyer. I call them a juggernaut like Brock is; he’s a bad boy.”
