Bobby Lashley says that, more so than many other groups, the members of The Hurt Syndicate are actually friends.
After a successful run as The Hurt Business in WWE, Bobby Lashley, MVP, and Shelton Benjamin have reunited as The Hurt Syndicate in AEW.
In an interview with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, Bobby Lashley discussed the authenticity of the group. (H/t Fightful for the transcription)
“It’s something that in the wrestling business is not too prevalent in its authenticity. Most people don’t understand what we have. A lot of times you see groups in wrestling and those groups are just people that are thrown together for no particular reason. Then it’s like, there’s all these guys running around doing stuff and the minute they’re done, they’re all like dispersed. They don’t talk to each other. They don’t know each other. They’re not friends with each other. They’re just doing it for the show. I think when people see us, they think it and they know it’s different.”
“I mean, MVP, Sheldon, they’ve been good friends for years….We’re actually genuinely friends. So when we do that, we’re constantly talking on how we can build this and how we can make this work for AEW and what we can do for AEW. So it’s something different and I think the crowd knows and it’s something refreshing for them to see.”
WrestleZone will have coverage of AEW Worlds End as it airs on December 28.
