JR on why Shelton Benjamin was never World Champion

[AJtheOne]

The New Day can talk, put on great matches, over with the crowd etc.

But yet none of them have gotten a wwe title run or a title shot I wonder what their excuse is for that

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

when he dyed his hair and was being called the gold standard

 

[Silkk]

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

They did though

 

[Silkk]

when he dyed his hair and was being called the gold standard

That was his best run imo

 

[MushroomX]

Same company that put the belt on Jinder

Yeah, but this is BEFORE Benoit. Only reason Jinder got the strap, was because of the WWE India stuff.

 

[Yayo Toure]

Yeah, but this is BEFORE Benoit. Only reason Jinder got the strap, was because of the WWE India stuff.

So what will it take for a black champ? WWE Nigeria?

Total BS.

 

[JerseyBoy23]

That was his best run imo

And they still didn't even want to give him the ECW strap

 

[mrken12]

Yeah, but this is BEFORE Benoit. Only reason Jinder got the strap, was because of the WWE India stuff.

Jinder didn't even help ticket sales over there and he still lost to Triple H.

 

[Killah Ray]

Shelton could've easily been a transitional champ back when he had the mini-feud with HHH...the crowd was white hot for him....

Same with Kofi when he feuded with Blandy......

 

[Mike the Executioner]

We all know the real reason and it's something they'll never say, but it's still the reason.

 

[richaveli83]

We know the real reason why

 

[ZEB WALTON]

Shelton a world champion? In what/whos world? Dude was NEVER that over so why is this even a question

 

[MushroomX]

So what will it take for a black champ? WWE Nigeria?

Total BS.

Ask yourself, when has a Non-White/Black wrestler been given a gimmick that doesn't make them look like a fool? Its been the old boys way for a long, long time?

Now after Benoit, they go PG/Family Friendly. First Jinder run, put him in 3MB. Comes back, gets nothing on RAW, flagship show, goes to Smackdown and suddenly wins the title just as WWE begins India PR.

 

[Coco Brown]

Such b.s.

Whether you wanted a Shelton run or not, you can't use "mic skills" as a reason not to put the title on someone when they got folks like The Great Khalil and Jack Swagger getting runs.

ETA: I love Jeff Hardy but let's call a thing a thing: He's got charisma out the yang but his mic skills are basic AT BEST and a total train wreck at worst. Dude used to flub his lines on the regular.

 

[mrken12]

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

Brock has terrible promos.

People overrate him so much on here.
