Shelton Benjamin Has Mixed Feelings About His Match With HBK 

Right

Then WWE started reusing the angle to much over and over again 😂😂

Totally agreed!!.. I remember watching that show!!

@@battlerap314 they actually did it just 6 months after this when HBK did it to beat Rey Mysterio at Survivor Series 2005.

i remember as a kid he had beat triple h couples times was that real or was that just put in a video game

This was the only thing I remembered about that match. It was hard to pick your jaw up off the floor after that. It wasn't just the spot but how amazingly well executed it was.

Well when you have shawn Michaels who's the best of all time in the ring vs a amazing talent in shelton your bound to have awesome matches

@@MohammedRoien-bi8pzShelton>Hbk

A classic

💯

NEVER!!

I didn't understand why Shelton had a love-hate relationship with his match with Shawn. Because it could've helped him with a manager?

@@kenterminateddq5311because he felt like it should have propelled his career, and other than people remembering the match it didn’t really. Shelton and Morrison are 2 guys I think could’ve gone so far in wwe they were such good wrestlers but for some reason Vince never saw it that way

it's up there with benoit and orton for the title

i remeber when he was beating ricc flair at vengance fans was booing him as a face lets me know why he never became the star he should have been

yeah i think vince wanted to push shelton to main event scene when he was moved to raw but just got bored of him after some time vince has the attention span of a child

The week after he was drafted to raw The night he was drafted HHH wrestled Eddie Guerrero in the main event before the huge lockeroom brawl

They centered that whole RAW episode around Shelton i feel HHH is the one who got them to swap Sheldon for Randy in the title scene

Nah he was incompetent and not good enough

Please explain

@@dionruffin3996 He was never put in programs that really elevated him, or in a situation to be taken seriously. He tagged with Lesnar in OVW, and on RAW he had Mama Benjamin. Sheltons always been a star, just didn’t get have the right creative behind him.

Exactly. Shelton deserved better

@@wingedhussar1453no

Well to be fair the wrestlers play the character they're given, they are not going on tv being themselves

They all look the same pal!

Oh my god. Wtf is wrong with Vince? 😂

Fraud could go several books on that fuck ​@@KDB349

??? No way this is real?

​@@Ahmed-og2jm😂 oh yeah, that story has been told countless times

"the undertaker "

When he has feels like a guy can't hold viewers attention or evaluated to hold the top spot then he doesn't push them to world title. Pretty simple.doesnt matter

Vince is trash

Facts

I don't think he wanted Shelton over as a top guy though, he was solid mid card. Sometimes Vince doesn't see what others do. You said it yourself, he didn't do it with the Angle, Cena and Brock, clearly he felt Shelton was missing something.

People hate admitting the obvious for some reason. Shelton was black and Vince didn’t want any black wrestlers as top guys at that time, pure and simple. The Rock don’t count either because his Somoan side was pushed far more then his black side.

The ceiling for wrestler that can't cut a good promo.

@@Albrto2077 Brock could never cut a good promo either and he became a big star regardless, although he had Heyman.

They should have gave him a mask and made WWE version of Suicide from TNA

@@klombernzx Cowboy brock Lesnar would disagree plus the dude a once of a lifetime athlete who looks like an absolute monster , maybe shelton could have done something different but hey atleast he was an upper midcarder which isn't a bad thing.

@@Albrto2077Brock still can’t cut a promo or have a personality

I wouldn’t say that because at the time Brock was just as bad on the mic during his first run and he was just as good as Shelton in the ring hell they were even tag team partners in OVW. But he got pushed to the moon and as Shelton mentioned here creative could’ve gave him someone to talk for him. Brock had Heyman 🤷🏾‍♂️

@derrickbailey1714 not a great comparison. Brock was the monster heel, Shelton was the plucky underdog babyface. Historically, WWE has struggled to pair babyfaces with managers. It's usually a heel shtick. If WWE had the foresight or ambition to do something similar to The Hurt Business, like when MVP was managing Bobby Lashley, and make Shelton some kind of cool tweener, maybe that would have worked. When they did try to push Shelton as a heel with his Mama as his manager, he was woefully miscast because his appeal was due to his flashy in-ring style and athleticism. At the time, most audiences didn't boo a guy like that, because they appreciated his work so much. It's not like today where you have a ton of different heel characters still doing suicide dives and showstealing moves, and its so common that they can still get heat. Back then, being a heel in WWE meant switching to a slower, mat-based style and that was never going to work for Shelton.

​@@willg1315You explained everything perfectly 👍🏿.

Lol whats the beef she has with Shelton?

​@@The-Deadite It's all in fun. They have a sibling rivalry type of relationship. They're actually really close friends. Lol.

I think he saved her from an abusive relationship, and looked out for her and considers her a sister.

*should have been

I heard he just couldn’t cut a promo. Should’ve had someone help him with it

@@cliff402ful Yeah thats what I mean by having someone help him along the way. Kinda like how Hayman did with Brock and others.

They should have just gave him a costume like La Parka and don't worry about promos.

They wouldnt coz hes black

But those other 4 guys had something that made them marketable it's not just about in ring talent wheres the money? Booker T is probably the most successful black wrestler he won it all in WCW and WWE because he was money Shelton was too generic hell Bobby Lashley is another black wrestler who's marketable and fans love him same with Mark Henry.

Yeah. He was a charisma vacuum. Or do you want to make it about color again? Even though there are a lot of successful people in WWE that had color.

@@tyyrreekk9005only in wcw booker was treated mid tier in wwf/e

@@lsj6721 no there wasn’t and the majority of who you’d mention happened in the last 7-9 years the wwf/e was rough

@@Domepeezy you seem to forget groups like nation of domination, vince was even high on one of them despite the opinion of the group's leader; you also seem to forget the greatest rival of SCSA; you also forget that guy who was considered to be very strong; and since you mentioned booker... why? because he lost to HHH? how many championships he won after that? Shelton, even though said to be the best wrestler (not pro-wrestler) among those from OVW, was never on their level: 1. he was no brock lesnar, a once in a lifetime athlete; 2. he was never as charismatic as cena. do not forget that if not for steph discovering his rapping talent he would have been released; 3. he never was never as savvy as orton; He was that kurt angle who is never near angle's level. Also, do not forget the champs who were from other ethnicity. Color is not just about black and white. Before you call me a racist, I am not from america, I am an asian.

Ironic as his momma ruined his career

When i think of him i think of him beating triple h after mania

Nah he's doing the samething. Not building talent. He literally just wasted MITB

shelton is a charisma black hole, like a 2000s ricochet

@@WolfEffectzzso was Brock 😂 he still can’t cut a promo and definitely not he was part of team angel which was dope

Dude don’t compare him with Brock. Brock has a much better look and he’s taller and better character.

​@@zlord1199 Wrong

@@Domepeezy the only time sheltons character was interesting was when he had his momma managing him lmao. he's similar to a ricochet/justin gabriel/evan bourne where theres not much to them apart from their athleticism/ability for cool spots. which is an OK spot in the card to have

No, he shouldn't have. He was upper mid card at best and that's being generous.

THANK YOU

Knowing what we know now about Vince we see why they did that to Shelton

@@soulsection71 it was dumb, because frankly - the roster was pretty lame in terms of people fans were excited about in those years, after the top 5-6 guys. Midcard was terribly booked back then, and Shelton was the biggest example IMO.

@@DJR33333 look how they squashed booker.. lost to triple H at mania n then have stone cold whoop his ass all through a grocery store.. look how Vince did kofi n his crew.. ppl coming out saying Vince was racist n a pervert. We see now all of it was true.. Shawn was Vince’s boy toy so I knew Shelton wasn’t gon go over on Shawn unless Shawn wanted to.. Shawn used Shelton because he knew Shelton was gone have a good caliber match with him.

He’s just older now. Thats all. It usually happens like that

Lets hope Triple H is better. Wwe hasnt had a believeable blsck champion since bobby lashley snd before that, the rock. Kofi & Big E were joke champions

@@mrsanatra1 agreed 🎯💯
