Shelton Benjamin tells the reason Vince McMahon told him The Hurt Business had to come to an end, and he's not exactly buying it.. #wwe #wrestling #sheltonbenjamin
Agreed. Even just having a Hurt Business vs Bloodline Feud before breaking up the faction was such a compelling and easy storyline to write. I don’t understand why Vince said this was as far as the Hurt Business could go.
Its a White business Hell the samoans are just now gettin the love and acknowledgment. (See what i did there ) unfortunately. They will never let a full black stable run the show like the blood line did. But at least the samoans are the closest we will get dont get me wrong we get black champs

Was about to say this too. Someone wanted to give The Bloodline higher favors. The Hurt Business facing them would have beget a greater competitive edge to both factions. And given both praise for carrying the company during the Pandemic.
Say it louder plz. He always did that with blk groups when they get steam he cancels. If it Make them look. Like fools or stereotype. He will make sure u will have to time. Go back. Nation of domination. And Mable's group the other group that the guy e passed away yes ago
Yeah, I was about to say the same. Then there was the Hurt Business volume 2. Where you saw Camelo Hayse, Amos and The Street Profits all in The Hurt Business. They definitely could have gotten over. Probably could even been just as big as The Bloodline or Wyatts. But that's too much diversity for WWE.
And that’s why the Bloodline did so well. The story made sense. The Hurt Business could have done the same. But they would have had to put the WWE championship back on Bobby and they didn’t want to do that.
They were getting over. Vince did not want them getting over, so he nipped it in the bud. A lengthy list of wrestlers and groups he did that to exists.
Yep getting over without Vince approval is a death sentence basically, just ask Cesaro and Zack Ryder.. hell they was about to bury Daniel Bryan if his fanbase wasn’t so powerful at the time
@blablablaa14 It was a product of its time. Saying that's stupid is like saying Hogan's gimmick was stupid. Maybe by today's standards sure but I wouldn't say it was DEFINITIVELY dumb. Especially since people ate it up at the time

I remember reading somewhere that Cedric was receiving too much of a rub from being part of the group, and Vince was not his biggest fan. Maybe they just don't want certain wrestlers in prominent spots.
Let's be real: with WWE's past history with certain fighters, it's no shocker that Vince ended this early. It's the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about yet most know it's there.

Shelton deserved a much bigger push during that time. Not just the Hurt Business stuff, but on his own. The guy is a phenomenal wrestler and a great talent. His only drawback was on the mic.
I saw his early career when he first started in the wwe. He was heading on strong. Then vince decided to kill him by making him a bi- wirh the cringy n tap dancing mama's boy gimmick n kissing booker's ring🤦🏿
The Hurt Business had so much more potential. Imaging competing against Bloodline at war games. Giving shelton another US championship reign and so much more
when Vince didn't let Cedric and Sheldon celebrate with Lashley after he won the title ik they were abt to get buried. next thing ykno they lost the tag titles a week or 2 later and then lost a handicap match clean against Drew, the booking was OBVIOUSLY not in the Hurt Business's favor🤧
They were the black version of Evolution and they were gaining some serious momentum, but Vince had to be Vince. No wonder why he’s no longer in charge.
@dddking9284 people are quick to see racism but forget all the petty reasons that Vince sidelines a talent. He hated Christians face. Thought Jericho was too short. Paul London smiled at him during a segment. Etc, etc
@@Captain_Insano_nomercy Christian was also World heavyweight champion twice Jericho was Undisputed champion and beat the two top stars in the same night. And still got a lengthy title run several years later. London got a lengthy tag title run and saw a lil bit more success shortly after before he was let go. Your argument doesn’t add up.
@@DallasAK330Christian was world heavyweight champion only after edge had to abruptly retire, and then he lost the title two days later, and continuously got beat by Orton over and over until he finally won it the second time. If edge doesn’t retire Christian doesn’t win the championship just like if Eddie doesn’t die Rey doesn’t win the rumble.
The Hurt Business could still be around today like the Bloodline or Judgment day .. But Vince wanted to keep certain groups down and regulated In regards to both talents and the audience They could’ve brought in Farooq. And the talents to replace members? Carmelo? Trick? Oba? Wes Lee? Vince didn’t want to represent.
@@dariusthegreat3097 Its true. Vince let HBK run wild but every black star was on probation for best behavior? Better shuck 'n jive. They had HIT ROW and STREET PROPHETS to step up too. Swerve outing Bobby as leader could've been sweet. I knew back with how he handled Bad News Brown & Ron Simons.
That faction unfortunately came up about the same time as Roman’s bloodline so Vince chose his golden boi. Lashley had plans to expand , recruit more members (the profits , Melo, B-Fab etc ) Maybe he can do that again and give up and coming young black wrestlers some rub(guys like Wes Lee could need that sort of faction to grow quickly if they joined the main roster)
See the story of The Hurt Business versus Retribution. And how The Hurt Business became became the star of the billboard was the only thing that interested me during the pandemic
Wasn't vince idea why it didn't last thought was going come n good, but fans got behind them, and it was different. Four black men wearing suits being series for once, not dancing to get over, was good to see that why wyatts never got over it wasnt vince idea bray got that group over with the fans vince just kept bury them from reaching the ceiling so these probably two faction vince didn't let get it shine what they deserve
I also hated that they never put Ricochet in the Hurt Business despite teasing it for months. He would have been perfect for the group and then you could have had a 4 on 4 match with the Bloodline
Black team being close to top tier of all time or being the new face. Ahh heck naw vince or and yt owed company is going to let that fly. Sure some of the other talent didnt like it as well
Amazing faction, and they were too over. Vince canned it because it was a better faction than the bloodline, in my opinion. He probably didn't like that and ended it, too soon. MVP was almost as good as Paul Heyman.
@@boogidwnej179 Better than being Chinese. I had 3 wwe tryouts before 2010. (Before they even really gave asians a chance) Could walk the top rope and hit moonsaults.

The Hurt Business was perfect. You had a great manager in MVP, Shelton Benjamin one of the best all around wrestlers of his generation, who I kinda wish they made the wise old guard like Ric Flair in evolution, Bobby Lashley a genetic freak in his prime the leader, and a young up and comer who looks bigger physically than he actually is in Cedric Alexander.
Exactly 👍. But when mvp said it last week you had people calling him bitter and washed up even though he was 100% RIGHT. Now Shelton Benjamin is saying the same thing and people believe it.
Hurt Business was one of THE reasons to watch during pandemic era WWE. The fact they had such stop and start booking after Bobby’s title run was a waste of
Vince did push them, but only a select few. And none as a real contender for big gold. As a Chinese/Japanese/Hawaiian wrestler who's had 3 wwe tryouts prior to 2010, ask me if I know something that is worse 😂
I still stand by my idea that it was racial. Vince didn't want to push 2 factions into the main event that didn't have a white dude in it. As it might scare away white viewers. Vince just doesn't get wrestling...
I commented this many times, but my theory is they were super over, and they couldn't be allowed to outshine The Bloodline. I feel like the same thing happened with Team Angle and Evolution. They were over and couldn't outshine Evolution. I knew I was right about the Team Angle thing when Kurt basically confirmed in an interview.
The Hurt Business was ruined after they had Lashley destroy Shelton and Cedric on Raw. Then the next week they had Shelton and Cedric trying to win Bobby over again like nothing happened 😂. The writing back then was wild'
Shelton Benjamin was definitely a champion at any level and had more talent then the other heavyweights talent in the business Vince has delayed people careers from achieving Greater
The "Hurt Biz" was the original "Bloodline" without them being connected....They was a tuff collective not so much as been competitors lumped together...but a collective of potential in a super group.....😊😊😊😊😊😊
If you know you know The hurt business started in TNA then came to WWE. It was called BDC Beat Down Clan Lashely was World Champion and MVP was the manager/wrestler.
When you're dealing with a company that's not really in high quality work (push) for certain groups of wrestlers once in a while 1 of them will get a big push but never will be a long term position nor build WWE staffs and behinds including superstars since back in time had the "R" word labeled around for legitimate reasons just like this situation
It was a shame the hurt business didn't get a proper run. I was a huge fan of them, and anytime I tried to buy their merchandise, somehow, it was always sold out or not in stock
That's because it was actually sold out. Come down south. There was dudes wearing the hurt business gear with pride 💪. It was the first time in over a decade that people were NOT ashamed to wear wrestling shirts in public.
It was literally an all black group that could have a long run that would be dominant….Vince didn’t like that idea otherwise there is no legit reason why it would be a problem
Hurt business had so many potential feuds. The story was there and MVP was the perfect mouthpiece. It’s a shame they didn’t get a real chance
Agreed. Even just having a Hurt Business vs Bloodline Feud before breaking up the faction was such a compelling and easy storyline to write. I don’t understand why Vince said this was as far as the Hurt Business could go.

Sidenote… that USA championship on Bobby looks like a Genuine HWC lol doesn’t look like that on Logan or anyone else oddly.
Shelton Benjamin was definitely a champion at any level and had more talent then the other heavyweights talent in the business Vince has delayed people careers from achieving Greater
To this day I been waiting on a Hurt Business revival🥺
Triple H needs to bring Shelton back such a great wrestler and amazing talent always made my jaw drop from the spots he pulled when I was a kid
The fact he said hurt business and not the program he had with Triple H shows how much of a team player he is
Shelton is one of the Greatest "What ifs"
Hurt Business vs Bloodline, could’ve been the rivalry we needed
Hurt Business definitely needs to come back. I would love to see Shelton Benjamin get one last solid run.
Well said. They should've been The Bloodline push. Hart Business against them would've been great.🤔👍👍
It's too bad that The Hurt Business is no more...
The "Hurt Biz" was the original "Bloodline" without them being connected....They was a tuff collective not so much as been competitors lumped together...but a collective of potential in a super group.....😊😊😊😊😊😊
When we show real unity… our presence is very intimidating!
Bruv this shit is fake 😂😂😂😂😂. What a faction of heels is intimidating ?😱😱😱😱😱😱
1 of the biggest what ifs in wrestling
Hurt Business is what got me back into watching wrestling. Nice move Vince.
Shelton & Dean Malenko never really got that WWE/World Champion shot, truly underrated.
If you know you know
The hurt business started in TNA then came to WWE. It was called BDC Beat Down Clan Lashely was World Champion and MVP was the manager/wrestler.
Man Hurt business is hall of fame, me n my grandma still talk about that run. My grandma just turned 66 btw
When you're dealing with a company that's not really in high quality work (push) for certain groups of wrestlers once in a while 1 of them will get a big push but never will be a long term position nor build WWE staffs and behinds including superstars since back in time had the "R" word labeled around for legitimate reasons just like this situation
It was a shame the hurt business didn't get a proper run. I was a huge fan of them, and anytime I tried to buy their merchandise, somehow, it was always sold out or not in stock
That's because it was actually sold out. Come down south. There was dudes wearing the hurt business gear with pride 💪. It was the first time in over a decade that people were NOT ashamed to wear wrestling shirts in public.
This athlete carried so many matches and deserved better. Some of the moves he will make a ring were some of JR’s best reactions.
Just think if them guys were in WWE today!!! You never know what would've happened especially with the factions now
It was literally an all black group that could have a long run that would be dominant….Vince didn’t like that idea otherwise there is no legit reason why it would be a problem
Respect to Shelton for saying this.
They had the potential to be Horsemen, Evolution, even Bloodline like. They should have been given a legitimate run after the dome era...
All of you were / are terrific. Never forget that 💯💯💥💥🌞🌞
Hurt business vs OG bloodline in a 4 man Tag at a PPV event is literally a money printer and Vince didn’t want to do it
