MVP Clowns Hulk Hogan for Mixing Up Shelton Benjamin’s Name

MVP is always proud of his background and doesn’t shy away from speaking his mind. Recently, he criticized Hulk Hogan for his racist comments and now it appears he even mocked Hogan for messing up Shelton Benjamin’s name.

MVP took to his Instagram and uploaded a video while on a flight, heading to Detroit for AEW Dynamite. In the video, he sat across from his close friend, Shelton Benjamin, and mocked Hulk Hogan for messing up Benjamin’s name. MVP joked that Benjamin wasn’t amused and added that he didn’t want to get hurt.

“On a flight, getting ready to go to Detroit. Sitting across from my very good friend, Mr. Benjamin Shelton. [Laughs] He is not amused. Okay, I’m sorry, I don’t wanna get hurt.”

This comes after Hulk Hogan recently promoted his new Real American Freestyle Wrestling promotion alongside Eric Bischoff, he gave shoutouts to several amateur wrestlers who impressed him over the years, including Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, and Shelton Benjamin. However, Hogan referred to Benjamin as “Benjamin Shelton.” He messed up Benjamin’s name in the past as well.

Benjamin would then fire back on Twitter, not holding back as he wrote, “Message to @HulkHogan. You lost me forever with your ‘don’t get caught’ …or as you would call it ‘apology’ speech. So rather than screw up my name and pretend we ever had any sort of camaraderie, which we never had, please do me a favor &” — the tweet ended with a meme of Will Smith yelling, “KEEP MY NAME OUT OF YOUR F**KING MOUTH.”

Hulk Hogan’s racist comments were made public in 2015 and since then, his reputation has changed forever. While Eric Bischoff has downplayed the racist remarks as a one-time mistake, it’s clear MVP will never forget what Hogan did.
