AEW star Shelton Benjamin spoke with Gabby LeSpisa on the Gabby AF podcast on a number of topics, including getting used to how the company does things.
Benjamin said, โSo far, I have noticed a lot of differences in their approach and things like that. And Iโm still learning the system. Like I said, Iโve only been there a month? So you know, Iโm not going to learn everything I need to know in that time. But from what Iโve seen, Iโm starting to understand there are some very, very different ways of operation. Some I think are wonderful. Some I think are absolutely groundbreaking as far as their approach. And then there are, you know, obviously, there are some things I go โHmm, I donโt know about this.โ But at the same time, Iโm too new to really pass judgment right now.โ
On tribalism in wrestling:
โThe whole tribalism thingโฆI get it, itโs Coke and Pepsi, itโs Disney and Warner Brothers. So I get that. But me as a performer, that doesnโt matter to me. Thatโs an argument for the fans to have. And Iโm not a strong supporter of tribalism. Iโm a supporter of great talent, Iโm a supporter of giving guys and girls opportunities to shine. I want to see everybody succeed.โ
