This is the point I tried to make earlier but i decided to bow out. I think a solid case could be made for MVP, Big E etc. but I can’t understand why Shelton Benjamin is the hill these nikkas wanna die on

Right...

This is like if there was never a Canadian wrestler on top and MFs started talkin' bout "Lance Storm definitely deserved a run"

Of all the black wrestlers, the most vanilla midgety one of all is the one everybody wanted to see win it?

If this thread was about MVP, we can talk... but Shelton, the dude who stuttered and stammered every time they put him on a mic and never had a character? How, Sway??

Shelton is much better than goofy ass power ranger MVP. WTF. You don't know one good match that idiot has ever had. Dude got decimated by Miz on the mic and hasn't been relevant since.

And Shelton is no damn midget..he's taller than Cena and Angle. Much more naturally big than those two as well.

We’re not talking about the 2005-06 money in the bank edge. We’re talking about the win the title every month on smackdown for no reason edge

Lmaoooo at nikkaz complaining about Edge n Orton.

Edge n Orton had a GIMMICK that resonated with fans that made them champs.

Edge- Rated R Superstar, wild, loudmouth cocky, brash heel who did n said anything he pleased.

Randy Orton- legend killer, 2nd generation his gimmick was challenging legends cocky heel .

What’s Shelton gimmick?

Shelton Benjamin- doesn’t have a compelling story/gimmick. He just sum athletic dude who smiles.

So maybe he's not a midget... but he's still plain as vanilla ice cream, so the point stands.

Kinda surprising to me that as an avid fan of arguably the best mic worker of all time and the definition of 'total package', you don't see how Shelton Benjamin isn't a world title kinda guy.

i actually kinda get it. shelton was/is a great in ring performer, but his mic work was/is forgettable. ive seen seth's name thrown around here and he does seem whiny, but it evokes an opinion. if im being honest, ive never felt any way about shelton. i just liked his ring work, but thats not what a champion is supposed to be. the only argument here i can see if fin balor...

Klandy, Swagger, Sheamus, Jinder, Bray, Late period Edge, Khali, and Dolph are not better than 04-05 Shelton but I'll let ya'll continue juelzing :mjpls:

Those guys all had a gimmick that made them interesting to fans.

What gimmick Shelton got?

He a CAW.

Having a gimmick is the LIFE BLOOD of a wrestler.

Edge and Klandy combined for 24 world titles. They could have found one for Shelton and one for MVP for that matter. And again, if they wanted to they could have found a mouthpiece for Shelton for one title win.
