If you put Shelton in front of those redneck WCW crowds, he'd get over easily but y'all reject wrestling that's not coming from New York :francis:

Hell, Ron Simmons was a shyt promo and they put the strap on him when WCW was loaded with talent. But Shelton lacks the "intangibles":mjpls:

Y'all haven't done a good job explaining why bums like Swagger and Jinder are heavyweight champ material and why Shelton, especially 04-05 Shelton isn't :mjpls:

Ya just ignoring da reasoning:

SHELTON DOESNT HAVE A STORYLINE/GIMMICK/CHARACTER/CHARISMA TO BE WORLD CHAMP.

Jinder is a arrogant jerk indian who’s mad at the world because he fills overlooked n slighted

Swagger was a goofy, all American cornball Heel.

What does Shelton have that makes him stand out?

WCW was also involved in a discrimination lawsuit at the time.

The current WWE talents are too docile to ever launch such a lawsuit. The only way we'll ever get progress is if we unite and stop spending any money on their product until they give us a black champ.

i still cant believe @Brock Luciano tried to say that the WWE is still around & on top because of their selections of champions.

if anything, their selection of champions is the main reason why theyre only making half of the money that they should be generating as the only mainstream wrestling company.

and I'm not just talking about the worst champions, I'm talking about some of their bigger stars. cena, edge, HHH, orton, etc. a bunch of over-pushed channel changers.

will Jason Jordan count?

it looks like theyre grooming him to be the closest thing to the rock.

notice they had to book him as having a white dad tho.

Which black wrestlers do you believe to be marketable as single stars, currently on WWE main roster?
Velveteen Dream could be a big star if they hot shot him into the main event scene. If they immediately put him in the IC/US scene he'll be stuck there forever.

Some of y'all thinking Shelton Benjamin was like Curt Hennig or something. :mjlol:


Breh was cool but in what time should he be having the world championship belt?
They found 11 title reigns for edge bum ass. Edge didn't need to be champ that many times. Like somebody else said, if they wanted to put resources behind Shelton they could have. And not Thea. Real mouthpieces. They could have found the time to put the title on Shelton once.
