WWE star Shelton Benjamin spoke with Chris Van Vliet on several topics, including the reaction he received backstage following his one-on-one match against WWE Hall of Famer “The Heart Break Kid” Shawn Michaels in 2005.

Benjamin said, โ€œSo standing ovation. When I went back to the curtain Vince and everyoneโ€™s like, clapping and like even Michael Hayes is like, you did something special tonight. And I was like, really? Again, I didnโ€™t realize how special it was, you know, until I watched it back. Like this match is great. Itโ€™s really good. And but again, Iโ€™m so like, is it really that good? I didnโ€™t think of it until like, I kept getting it the very next week. You know, the kick is in the opening promos. I am like Okay, now, Iโ€™m starting to get it now. Iโ€™m starting to really get it.โ€
