It appears that Hulk Hogan and Shelton Benjamin will never be friends.
While making the media rounds today, Hogan spoke about his new business venture with Eric Bischoff – Real American Freestyle – while discussing his favourite professional wrestlers who also have amateur wrestling backgrounds.
He mentioned Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar and “Benjamin Shelton”, not only once but twice.
Excellent question, Benjamin!

Benjamin fired back on X referencing when Hogan was suspended for making racial remarks on the Bubba the Love Sponge show and then not really apologizing when WWE brought him back.
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 & pic.twitter.com/4ccA4I9Qef
