Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Mark Henry recalled going to AEW CEO Tony Khan months ago about signing Shelton Benjamin after WWE let him go.
“The first day that Shelton got let go, I went to Tony and I said, ‘Tony, you got to pick him in. Bring him in. Let me work with him. Anything. He’s the guy. Nothing happened. I’m glad that they’ve seen the error of their ways and they got him on board. Shelton is special, you’ve got to use him like he’s special. It’s only going to be good for everybody in the long run.”
