JR on why Shelton Benjamin was never World Champion

[Homer Simpson]

why do they act like they don't control the booking

 

[Thebadguy]

Black wrestlers have to be damn near perfect to get a world title run. The Rock is one of the greatest of all time, Mark Henry is the legit strongest man since Samson. Booker was a 5x,5x,5x,5x,5x WCW champion..

They just didn't want to put the belt on him. As simple as that. That's on them. They can work around any weaknesses anyone on the roster may have if they want to.

Pretty much this, they'll go above and beyond for someone they WANT to be champion

Exactly anybody they pick can be a star

It's like when you working somewhere but they don't promote you but hire new bosses all the time you have to teach

This.


Jeff Hardy can’t cut a live promo to save his life. Yet they sure knew how to play to his strengths and hide his weaknesses when they needed to. And I’m a Jeff Hardy fan

 

[JerseyBoy23]

So, Shelton didn't get to be world champion, because he was bad on the mic? What about Seth Rollins? Good in the ring, but horrid on the mic. A.J. Styles is one of my favorite wrestlers, but he is bad on the mic, and the current WWE champion.

So it's back to race. To be a black world champion you have to be the whole package. Even with Booker, he had to play a corny monarch to sniff the belt while they made Rock trade title wins with Foley and Triple H during his peak.

 

[TobiOT]

Same company that put the belt on Jinder

 

[Silkk]

Yes I did. While both promos weren't terribly bad, guys like A.J., Shelton, and anyone with limited mic skills, should not cutting long promos.

Shelton is terribly bad on the mic

 

[NYChase718]

Shelton is terribly bad on the mic

Marbles in his mouth

And lol at whos comparing shelton to jeff hardy

Charisma doesnt mean just speaking

 

[David_TheMan]

Used to be if you couldn't talk on the mic they'd get a manager to speak for you.
Worked out well for Brock
JR showing those true colors

I know right

this scripted sport cant figure out a way to put a "fake" title on one of its "actors"

Black wrestlers have to be damn near perfect to get a world title run. The Rock is one of the greatest of all time, Mark Henry is the legit strongest man since Samson. Booker was a 5x,5x,5x,5x,5x WCW champion..

Correction

an African American has never held Vince McMahon's precious WWE Championship (Rock dont count)

Mark Henry & Booker T held "The Big Gold belt"


like i said previously, its a shame Shelton Benjamin isn't even in the title hunt in this current era of "Smackdown Live"

Are you telling me these guys are more credible than Shelton Benjamin??

• Kevin Owens
• Sami Zayn
• Jinder Mahal
• Rusev
• Baron Corbin

None of those guys could hold Shelton's resume in WWE. Kevin Owens has a pity title reign and everyone else flopped when given the ball.


hell, AJ Styles vs Shelton Benjamin could be a secondary WWE title match right now for Wrestlemania 34.

A nice video package showing how Shelton used to be the most athletic athlete in his previous run in WWE and a blue chip prospect and how he has only one goal to come back and get a 2nd chance to finally hold the WWE title. AJ Styles can talk about how this will be a true contest at Wrestlemania between 2 premier athletes and how he always looked up to Shelton Benjamin back in the day.

I wouldn't even care if AJ beat him. Just make the guy look like a logical contender

 

[ALWTHEGOGETTA]

Shelton is terribly bad on the mic

While that is true, they could have at least had given him a manager back in the day.

 

[ALWTHEGOGETTA]

So it's back to race. To be a black world champion you have to be the whole package. Even with Booker, he had to play a corny monarch to sniff the belt while they made Rock trade title wins with Foley and Triple H during his peak.

So true. I still feel like Big E and the Velveteen Dream (Patrick Clark) is our last hope in getting a Black WWE champion.

 

[jackswstd]

He's right. Brock is the GOAT promo which is why he's been multiple time champion.

 

[Yayo Toure]

They find 1,000,000 reasons not to make a black wrestler champion.

But ignore the same flaws in white wrestlers as they become champions.

Kofi has some botches - he's dangerous, not championship material.

Seth Rollins has some botches - he's a good worker who likes to take risks.

Shelton can't promo - a champion has to be great on the mic

Reigns - He'll become a great promo someday.

Brock - sucks at promos but they give him a manager to hide this weakness.

I'm giving these cacs until summerslam to crown a black world champ. Not a black who claims Samoa and votes Republican. A true wrestler who owns his african descent. And not the universal title. The WWE championship with hulk hogan, stone cold lineage. Idgaf if it's a Tony Atlas joke reign, these cacs need to respect their black fans.
