      I wasn't watching wwe during Shelton's prime because I was too young and my parents felt it was overtly violent-- I have to ask though, is it true that his mic skills were horrendous and that's why he never broke the glass ceiling? Bc that's what I was told, and if that is the case then why didn't they put him with someone like Paul Heyman or MVP way sooner?

Roman is great now don't get me wrong, but he was greener than algae when he first got the top spot, and later he got put with Heyman and that's what REALLY got him over. I feel like Shelton could have easily been wwe champ with a good manager. Easily.

    If Shelton is guilty of anything, it's loving the business too much. He was way too happy to be in that ring. Had he been fired up and ticked off in order to adopt a Stone Cold-esque character, everyone would've seen right through it because that's not who he is. Talent for days and the powers that be seldom let him climb past the midcard but the true fans know Shelton is a real one.

    What's interesting is that Shelton did become a gold standard in another way: before you had Kofi Kingston and his yearly Royal Rumble stunts to avoid elimination, you had Shelton Benjamin preforming *never before seen moves and stunts in the Money in the Bank ladder matches. Shelton Benjamin pioneered moves so unique to the match, that they became standard features in WWE video games for many years afterward. This distinction alone I feel is a clincher for Shelton Benjamin as a future inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame. The man helped pioneer both a match that would become not only a yearly match at Wrestlemania (and then go on to become its own Pay-per-view), but also create a move/skill set for the company's gaming franchise.
    *never before seen...the WWE at least, I don't know about elsewhere, but I'd like to think Benjamin was the first, the originator.

I thought he would achieve greatness when he seemed queued up to beat all the members of evolution, but then they had him lose to Randy which took Randy to another level while kicking Shelton down a few levels on the ladder. I don't think he ever recovered.

      That's what killed it for me. Smackdown use to be the home of the rising stars but then it started falling through. Batista stayed I Jared, Khali couldn't hold a match, Jeff was on and off, Punk was Punk. But JoMo , Shelton, Dolph, Kofi, and MVP couldn't get past mid card. I was tuned out by then.
