Tajiri's Burger King Ban & Jericho's Assassination Situation: Ten Things You May Have Missed In Wrestling This Week
Now with added Destrucity!
8. The World's Greatest Clothesline
WWE Hall of Famer JBL had an interesting response to a moment from this week's Raw.
The WWE on BT Sport account shared a gif of Shelton Benjamin taking Cedric Alexander's head off with a short-arm clothesline during their bout on the show, to which the Acolyte replied:
'Hey @Sheltyb803 if you ever hit me with this clothesline, our friendship will be in peril - as would my health. Cedric owe you money?'
Well, that was certainly rich coming from a man who practically made a career out of wrecking folks with his ultra-stiff version of the lariat, a hypocrisy that Shelton was all-too-happy to point out:
'I said that to you years ago when you were decapitating people every week with the CFH and you hit me with it 10 times. Where was that sense of friendship then?'
Bradshaw and Benjamin worked together extensively in 2003 and 04, when they were members of the APA and World's Greatest Tag Team, respectively.
Given the discrepancy in age and experience back then, I'm sure the big Texan was all too happy to put a little extra mustard on his strikes.
