WWE Star Shelton Benjamin spoke with Chris Van Vliet on a number of topics including if he remembers the first time he met “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar.
Benjamin said, “Yes, I do [remember] actually. And you know, it almost annoys me to tell the story. Because we were at a wrestling tournament in I want to say it was Fargo at you know, their university and Brock was still in junior college. And of course, we’re gonna say, you know, he’s hungry. And 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?”
Benjamin also spoke about how there has never been a scrawny version of Lesnar.
Shelton Benjamin said, “There’s never been a scrawny version of Brock that I saw. From the time we saw him he was rocking it, our coach was salivating to the point where after just because he was in junior college they started they immediately started recruiting him. So I’m kind of over in the corner like you know, 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?”
