On a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famers Bully Ray and Mark Henry shared their thoughts on how AEW has been handling The Hurt Syndicate, particularly focusing on the roles of Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin. The two legends gave their insights into the direction of the faction and offered critiques of how AEW has portrayed them so far. Below are some key highlights from their discussion, as reported by WrestlingInc.com:
Bully Ray on how Shelton Benjamin has been booked in AEW:
If I had the pencil, there is no way in hell Shelton Benjamin would have been treated the way he has been treated since the day he came here. Shelton is in the same position — almost same position — that he was in the WWE.”
Mark Henry on how AEW should use Bobby Lashley in The Hurt Syndicate:
Now you gotta give a reason of why he should be feared. Swerve — they need to find Nana bloodied up and Bobby wiping his hands off. Bobby needs to walk around there like a living, breathing horror movie, and if they do that? Then everything is fixed.”
Give the storyline some time, they just started.
