JBL Mentions Shelton
Who are some of the guys in the WWE that you think would do well in MMA?
Shelton Benjamin is one of the best athletes I have ever seen. I think he’d do quite well. A few years ago we had Kenny and Steve Blackman. Blackman could’ve done well and Kenny was a champion. Bart Gunn could’ve been a great MMA fighter if he had any training. Bart was a big tough guy who hit really hard but he didn’t have any training.



Does Shelton have any interest in doing MMA?
I don’t know, he was a big pro wrestling fan and didn’t have any desire to get into it because it wasn’t as big then.
Shelton isn’t old and he’d kill me if I called him that so I will say he’s old because he will get mad at me. He called me one time when I was Fox News on live TV and I had to answer the phone on live TV. He laughed as he watched me answer the phone on live TV like it was the funniest thing he’d ever seen. I love Shelton. I think he would’ve done well if he had pursued it.
