Pro wrestling veteran Shelton Benjamin recently spoke with the Daily Star on a number of topics including how his goal is still to become a World Champion.

Benjamin said, โ€œTo me, thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m in the business.โ€ โ€œYou want to be the best and be at the top. Iโ€™ve read so many different rumors where people are giving their opinion or thoughts. The one that really bugs me is I was โ€˜happy to just be a guy in the backโ€™ and โ€˜happy to just be on the roster.โ€™ Bulls**t.โ€

โ€œMy goal, when I got there, was to be a tag team champion. Once I achieved that, my goal was, โ€˜I want to be a world champion.โ€™ Once I started proving to myself and to the world that I can hang with the best in the world, my expectations and goals were always centered around being world champion. I wish people would stop printing or saying otherwise because Iโ€™ve never been complacent as far as wanting to be the top guy.โ€
