If Shelton Benjamin gets the call to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame at the end of his career, he knows exactly who he wants to induct him.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Shelton Benjamin was a recent guest on Gabby AF. When asked if he believes he’ll be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame someday, Benjamin said it would be a nice touch to end his career.
“It would be a nice touch to the end of a long career. Will it happen? Shawn Michaels said they would hold a spot open for me and things like that,” Shelton Benjamin revealed. “I’d like to think I made a big enough contribution to the business that I would go in. I would love that. I’m a bit of a WWE product. I was discovered by them. I was trained by them.
“Most people know me from them. It’s not a situation where because I’m with AEW now, I am anti-WWE. I am absolutely not that. I do not believe in tribalism as a performer between companies. Whether I’m wrestling for WWE, AEW, IMPACT, New Japan, I’m wrestling. This is what I do and this is my craft. If I can’t apply my craft one place, I go to another. As a performer, there is no time for tribalism. I have so many friends in companies, it makes no sense for me to hate on them.”
Shelton Benjamin would like Kurt Angle to induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame
When asked who he’d like to induct him, Benjamin’s first choice is Kurt Angle. However, he also mentions MVP, Arn Anderson, and Gerald Brisco.
“Probably, my first thought, Kurt Angle. That’s my first thought for induction,” Shelton Benjamin said. “Now, possibly MVP. Arn Anderson. Gerald Brisco. People that really helped me get there. There are a few candidates, but number one would be Kurt. He helped introduce me to the world and his name helped catapult me to the immediate public eye and notoriety. That would be my first choice.” [H/T: Fightful]
