Shelton Benjamin recently sat down with Kenny McIntosh from Inside The Ropes and discussed his matches in the 2024 AEW Continental Classic tournament.
Following his arrival in AEW, Shelton Benjamin has reminded the fans that he is still an amazing in-ring worker at this stage of his career. Putting on consistently great matches in the Continental Classic, Benjamin admitted he was surprised that the matchups have been this good despite the fact they have all been first-time-ever bouts:
“My biggest surprise is that the fans really appreciate what I bring to the table. I found that I have a lot of great chemistry with the guys I’ve been working. I feel like I’ve been having nothing but just great matches with pretty much everyone I’ve been in the ring with.
Just the fact that I’ve been able to gel so well with guys who I never have worked with before and put on great performances, that has been the biggest surprise to me. It shouldn’t be, because again, these are some of the best athletes in the world, some of the best professional wrestlers in the world. But it’s definitely a pleasant surprise.”
