He should be world champion, and he does have mic skills, just nobody remembers them because the last time they let Benjamin touch a mic was like 2, 3 years ago


Yeah true but someone always has to have a lame excuse on Benjmain and that's the only thing they can come up with.

Haven't heard that one but a million times, I wont even say anything about that ridiculous comment like I usually do and decent?!!!! Don't you mean to say the best athlete in the WWE?


every match he's been in is forgettable... and so what if he the "best" athlete? thats pretty much meaningless in pro wrestling. Athleticism doesn't sell merchandise and it doesn't sell tickets.

You're right, so I'm assuming you'd rather go to a show with a bunch of juiced up monkeys wrestling, get real, Vince's chooses which guys he wants to be the top drawers and everyone likes them because of that, that's why they're called mindless sheep.

This is pro wrestling, it doesn't matter if you're a great technical wrestler... if you don't have charisma and you can't excite the crowd you don't belong in pro wrestling.

When Benjamin was a face and feuding with HHH a while back almost nobody cared...thats because he's so mind-numbingly dull and boring.

Like I said it has nothing to do with the charisma, he really can't show all that anyways because the writers limit him to so much, it's wherever Vince wants the superstar to be that matters, like do you really think Batista has charisma? No but he gets over because Vince wants him to and feels he has the look.

You must be talking about Batista or Orton...

If he'd get some time, he could actually develop the "oh so important" mic skills. He doesnt get any time so what do you expect ... still he puts up great matches. I'd rather see someone who actually has some serious wrestling skills, putting up an awesome match than seeing that "charisma" and "merchandising selling ability" of Orton, Batista ...etc.

It's pretty simple ... WWE needs to give him a little more time and stop burying him ... he won like 5 matches since the beginning of 2009 and lost 20+ ... it that isnt burying I dont know what is ...at least with MVP the losing was a storyline.

If WWE doesnt realize what they have in Shelton Benjamin someone else will ... I just hope he talks to WWE creative or Vince about that sometime. Every week I hope to see him get a win or at least more time ... hopefully this time comes soon.

Its not his fault his character is getting stale.  He is a great athlete but the wwe universe have had little opportunity to see beyond that.  He has hardly ever been on the mic.
"You wanna know why I'm the perfect champion?  Because you can take the strength of John Cena, the intelligence of HHH, the desire of Cena, the athleticism of HHH, the determination of Cena, the ruthlessness of HHH and if you combine these attributes into one person, you get Randy Orton."

"Maybe some people out there resent the way I speak the truth, maybe some others want the old laid-back Y2J.  But I'm not going to pander to the lowest common denominator.  My attitude has always been that fans with any intellect will support me no matter what and the ignorant masses will cheer whomever they're told to cheer." - Chris Jericho.

Every week I hope Sheltons charecter will build up and WWE would stop misusing him. I'll never quit on him, but I feel he needs to say something to WWE Officials or Vince himself.

The Age of Orton has Begun again

The........Legacy........Born........Better........

I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They talk to me

You got your rules and your religion all designed to keep you safe.
But when rules start getting broken you start questioning in your faith.
I have a voice that is my savior,
Hates to love and loves to hate.
I have a voice that has knowledge and the power to rule your fate.

I hear voices crying
I see heroes dying
I taste blood that's drying
I feel tension rising

I hear voices in my head
They come to me
They understand
They talk to me,They talk to me
They tell me things, that I will do
They show me things I'll do to you.
They talk to me, talk to me talk to me
They talked to me,talked to me talked to me


All the lawyers are defenseless
All the doctors are disease
And the preachers all are sinners
And the police just take the grease
All you judges you are guilty
All the bosses I will fire
All you bankers will have losses
And politicians are all liars

I see darkness falling
I hear voices calling
I feel justice crawling
I see faith has fallen

I hear voices in my head
They come to me
They understand
They talked to me,they talked to me

They tell me things that ı will do
They show me things that I’ll do to you
They talked to me,they talked to me


I hear voices crying
I see heroes dying
I taste blood thats drying
I feel tension rising

I hear voices in my head
They come to me
They understand
They talk to me,They talk to me
They tell me things, that I will do
They show me things I'll do to you.
They talk to me, talk to me talk, to me

I am full of Awesomeness
