Yes bcz Shelton did tremendous wrestling in ovw against Brock Lesnar ( his college friend & room mate) , John Cena . Batista ,Randy Orton. He is with all this guy in the ovw training centre. And everybody knows Shelton is a freaking athlete.
I keep hearing "Shelton should have won" since his run in AEW, however he is constantly jobbing out, with an exception to Kommander, The Beast Mortos and Sammy Guevara lol.
The last remaining Elite member - will he stand tall? hmmmm, something tells me they'll all be gone by World's End (a fitting name), and will reform at Wrestle Dynasty
A 49 year old vet with a ton of experience, wealth and mileage enhancing younger talent - it's called giving back to the wrestling business - respect to Benjamin -- Okada's ten years younger, Garcia and Fletcher are 20 years younger -- it's the circle of life - dudes been featured heavily weekly for over a month in one of the best in-ring rosters ever - props to him -- I completely understand and respect it
It makes zero sense. Like having him lose to Garcia by a fluke pin, it doesn't get Garcia over, and just hurts Benjamin. How can hurt business be presented as dominant, when Benjamin lost three in this tournament?
I think maybe Shelton will go for tnt championship bcz both Shelton & garcia out of this tournament. And Shelton cuts back stage promo about garcia . So it's clear . And a new ppv after World's End we will see Shelton as tnt champion. And there is another possibility like ricochet will win this continental tournament ( with some help of hurt syndicate) . It was a sign of a heel ricochet to join the hurt syndicate. And maybe the hurt syndicate helps Hobbs to win the international championship so he will be part of the hurt syndicate. So we will see the hurt syndicate vs don callis family feud in the future.
I'm so glad I got to see this. This is a dream match for many, even though they have history in new Japan. I was hoping mvp n Bobby came out to get Shelton afterward and had a stare down with Bobby and Okada
Think of the times that Shelton was in NJPW in years past that He and Okada never wrestled against each other title or no title. If you want dream matches watch AEW!
Both are great wrestlers . I hope a great ppv match between this two in future . Shelton is really over man ,people love shelton . Its really shame ,such a freak athelete like shelton lose this match . This is a pure ppv type match . I hope tony khan should give shelton a heavy push . Shelton deseve golds till retirement . I think may be shelton go for tnt championship after this . Bcz he is out from continental championship .
Its time to push Shelton as a champion.. Not a jobber.. All his career was a jobber.. Stop it.. This guy needs some respect for all his work.. Making others look good.. & he's still doing it till today..
Shelton's lowkey good as Lesnar, if not better. He's like a combination of Lesnar and Angle. Of he's not as successful but definitely possibly a better wrestler.
Im glad that Shelton didn't come to AEW demanding to win every match and is willing to put over guy's that were there before him. He'll definitely be rewarded before it's all said and done.
Yeah I hate when he lose but aye can't win them all and sometimes our favorites have to lose. A lot of these people lose their minds and will hate the whole show and company because their person lost a match.
Well, I guess it's time for the monthly burying of the dude you made seem like a monster just a month ago. He has the 2nd least amount of points in this tournament? Good luck Shelton, you're gonna need it.
He's not buried just to the flip floppy fans maybe but if you really love him a loss don't change that. He's still a beast and talented can't win them all. And it was a good match if he loses all I ask for is a good match.
@shaquilleburton1611 I am a true Shelton fan which is why I'm irritated. he has the 2nd least amount of points in this tournament league. He's taken a loss the last 3 weeks. This is a far cry from the 1st 2 weeks he was on the show. But this is par for the course, i hate they did it to him so early.
- Okada disrespects Shelton - Okada challenges Moxley for the AEW World Championship - The Hurt Syndicate cost Okada the AEW World Championship - Hurt Syndicate vs The Elite at Revolution 2025 Just wishful thinking.
Booking Shelton to take an L to elevate an up and coming talent like Kyle Fletcher is one thing, but losing to Okada made no sense. The finish didn't look convincing.
Okada is relatively more 'up and coming' to an American audience, also Benjamin is a decade older than Okada and likely less expensive - whether you like it or not, Okada has a longer term future, not to mention he's the champ with more important stakes on the line in the tourney
@@NathanDewey11 compared to Kyle Fletcher, Okada is far more established on AEW TV and could afford an L here and not affect his future with the company. Shelton hasn't wrestled in front of a live and large TV audience since the pandemic era and needed the win more
He's part of one of the best in ring rosters ever and he's 49 years old with a ton of mileage - he's here to enhance - circle of life, he's giving back - respect
and that´s how shelton push dies... losing to vanillas like o-cody, borecia... the only one I tolerate is losing to Fletcher because he is a FUTURE MEGASTAR.
Does okada have his movement button constantly on slow? Where is this best bout machine that I've heard of? I never watched new Japan, so don't have anything other than his aew stuff to go off, but man he sucks. Shelton is so smooth and so much better, he's a real pro.
I think it's a combo of being 39 and 15+ years of new japan strong style wrestling which is notoriously harsh on the body. Look how banged up omega and tanahashi are.
Shelton is a machine
Really? Lol. He's a glorified jobber lol.

Didn’t they face one another in NJPW? 😂

Okada trolling Shelton Benjamin outside the ring was hilarious.
I wonder if they will retaliate because of it.

okada will lose the title
This is what aew did....no one would ever thought of seeing these two in the ring in 2024..thats why we love aew...all these fresh possibilities man
This arena feels perfect for AEW somehow
Absolutely agree, the collision show also was really good, book small arenas that you can fill, and it makes alot better TV.
Maybe because it's recall the arenas of ROH during the Elite Era (2016-2018) 🤘

Shelton really should have won. He’s been much more impressive than Okada.
I keep hearing "Shelton should have won" since his run in AEW, however he is constantly jobbing out, with an exception to Kommander, The Beast Mortos and Sammy Guevara lol.
@ maybe they should stop jobbing him out. I heard louder “We Hurt People” chants than “Okada”.

He's going to go up against Garcia and win TNT Championship

Many don't know about it haven't seen their little bit of history in new Japan but to me is still a dream match too
NJPW throwback for the new fans🔥
Can't wait for Okada's match at AEW Worlds End!
I see Okada as Moxley's next challenger, remember The Young Bucks are coming back after Wrestle Dynasty so it all makes sense.
Please no, just no. Okada can hardly move, and Moxley can't really wrestle, it would be a disaster. Darby will dethrone Moxley eventually.

Two of the best wrestlers of tgeir generations going at it I love it
GREAT match, A dream matchup I thought I’d never see TBH
Surprisely not their first time

They need to run this match back really good 👍
Shelton is so clean in the ring
The last remaining Elite member - will he stand tall? hmmmm, something tells me they'll all be gone by World's End (a fitting name), and will reform at Wrestle Dynasty
Good for Shelton.
Good for what. He jobbed out to Okada lol.
Shelton and Okada had a great dream match they showed each other some respect before the match and they showed each other some respect after the match
Not Shelton losing to a clothesline 😦
Thts not just a clothesline. Thts a Rainmaker
That was not a clothesline
Yeah, it's weak
The Rainmaker is a legendary Finisher my guy New Japan Shit
A weak ass clothesline at that
Excalibur lost his voice or something??
Ironically good show, those trade offs...
He has cold
Kazuchika Okada Absolutely Never Disappoints
In the thumbnail I thought it was Jbl doing a clothesline from hell🤣
We Get Okada vs Shelton before GTA6 but we want Switchblade jay white vs Okada
I'm sorry but I'm not understanding having Shelton Benjamin Lose. I just don't understand it
Tournaments are unpredictable. Shelton should never been partake in that tournament.

That’s what you do when you don’t want talent to get over.
So Okada shook Shelton’s hand and not Garcia’s?
Garcia sucks
Cause okada is a heel
Also showed him the middle finger afterwards secretely so 🤷🏼♂️
Because he was afraid Benjamin would beat his ass right there.
Shelt's like NJPW tier that's a beast
I'm so glad I got to see this. This is a dream match for many, even though they have history in new Japan. I was hoping mvp n Bobby came out to get Shelton afterward and had a stare down with Bobby and Okada
Why is Shelton losing continuously
Chaos vs Suzuki-Gun
What a flat ending
Vintage AEW!
How is Shelton losing this many.....nvm. Yall got it
What a dream match!!
Decent match, Shelton still got it 👏
Okadaaaaaaaaaa 🤩🤩🤩
Great match
Tony KHAN WTF! Shelton Needs to Be BOOKED STRONGER!
lmfao okada at the end

Bring El Hijo del Vikingo back . Wanna see him go 1 on 1 with Sheldon Benjamin or even okada

No...just no.
@@KingSillytotally agree. Shelton is a true pro, where as vikingo is a spot fest, he's absolutely insanely athletic, but a spot wrestler.

What was the point of putting shelton in this tournament ?
Good matches?
To begin the storyline between him and Garcia which will eventually end as him being TNT champion
@@shermandudley5548really?
To give him possibly the best in ring run of his career for over a decade or so.
Benjamin had a great run what are you on?
Kazuchika Okada didn’t flip the bird for one night.

AEW IS BEST👍
Is Excalibur okay? His voice is sounding rougher than normal.
Dude sounded terrible lol
See, now that was a good match, not too long, without the 3,000 kick outs with the R.O.H ending.
Will worlds ends be available on Max?
What I find amazing about this match is Shelton’s about 12 years older than Okada and he’s in better shape than O’Cody.
Slick a banger match
This match should have been on a ppv.
I thought we will get this match at the end of the year 💯
Oh man. Just when u think there might be a rivalry coming between the Elite and the Hurt Busi… Syndicate 😂
Yo how bro lose? The fans was yelling We Hurt People???
These matches are so amazing, I don't care if noone watches them. Am contents with these. 😊❤
Feels bad for Beast Mortos 😢😢
6:26 If Daniel Garcia wins Fletcher, Okada won this Blue League... Go Okada! ✊️

How in the Blue Hell does Shelton Benjamin only get 6 points
Unpopular opinion The Hammerstien ballroom should be AEWs home. They should stop touring. Stay there for a year. Only tour on PPVs
Predictable and not the way it should have ended.
Im surprised Hurt business didnt attack
Im glad that Shelton didn't come to AEW demanding to win every match and is willing to put over guy's that were there before him. He'll definitely be rewarded before it's all said and done.

Hopefully Shelton gets a run against Garcia since both lost.
another loss for SB?? dang it

It was a good match regardless so I'm good with that if you're going to beat my guy make the opponent earn it.
I think osprey vs okada finals but rather see ricochet vs okada but both would be great
This should've been the final, if it was up to me.
Thank God you're not the booker.
AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada will advance to the finals.
I don't understand why you even put Benjamin in the tournament. He would've been better off not constantly losing
Give Excalibur a break. He sounds sick.
