AEW wrestler and former WWE Superstar Shelton Benjamin responded on social media to comments made by Hulk Hogan during a recent TMZ interview.

Hogan mistakenly referred to Shelton Benjamin as “Benjamin Shelton” while discussing his new American Freestyle Wrestling project.

Benjamin, a former NCAA Division I collegiate wrestler and All-American, tweeted,

“Message to @HulkHogan. You lost me forever with your ‘don’t get caught’ …or as you would call it ‘apology’ speech. So rather than screw up my name and pretend we ever had any sort of camaraderie which we never had. Please do me a favor & [Keep my name out of your f***ing mouth]!”
