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'm not into a certain. Good is good. Shelton could never be what Rocky or Macho is on the all around conjecture but neither is trash like Orton, Khali, Swagger.

Give Shelton a heat magnet like Vickie and it would've been fine.
This is a very silly situation considering how they have the NXT and Universal champion pretty much ride the coattails of their manager. Heyman is out there about to have a strokevoutting that boy over. Lol.

Agreed. Edge was garbage midcard heel that was elevated by his female managers. Him and kkklandy having a billion reigns is a growing embarrassment of that era.

I was never a fan of Edge. Summerslam was here in Toronto in 2004 or 2005 (I don't remember, I just remember he was absolutely crap in that match) and the crowd turned on him halfway through the match. I don't remember one match or promo he had that wowed me. WWE was so shytty when he got to the top, that anybody who could talk or wrestle without being an absolute bore looked like a star.

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.

Far more effort has been put forward in this thread than WWE ever has. Even a storyline for his return. What’s Dolph Ziggler interesting gimmick?

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.

Randy hasn’t been the legend killer in over a decade. Edge stopped being wild when Lita retired. Kept the push. I remember one ppv edge walked in with one world title, lost it, beat up kofi and entered the elimination chamber to get the other one. Nobody was asking for that shyt.

Edge and Orton are direct proof Shelton could've got at least one reign.:manny:
I agree only for the fact that anyone having 10+ World Title reigns in the same company is absurd regardless of how good someone is. They could have squeezed in a Benjamin, MVP, or Mark Henry World Title run.

Why you still arguing this point with me... he's trash too, I didn't deny that. You might wanna ask somebody else that question.

Would that have proved the point even moreso showing a pic of Del Rio? Absolutely no one asked for that push, he never got over and no one ever has wanted him back
