Possible Return for Former WWE Superstar

[lucas_lee]

Shelton Benjamin has asked for and received his release from Ring of Honor. According to reports, this is so that he could negotiate and potentially leave for WWE. For now, Benjamin may continue to appear for the promotion, but he is working on a per appearance deal.

Benjamin has been rumored to be returning to WWE ever since reports surfaced that the promotion was looking to bring back mid-card talent to solidify the current roster.

AIN T NO STOPPING HIM NOW?

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

Awesome. I remember reading that Shelton hated his Ain't no stopping me theme

[YiHammer]

I doubt it

Shelton will likely sign a contract with New Japan. They seem to like him and MVP as a team.

I hated the first version from when he initially turned face, but I loved the second version.

[Slingshot Suplay]

His opponents better pack a lunch!

The slower one? Yeah, that was awesome, especially when they gave it the first version's intro. I also liked his "IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS BABY!" theme.

[Sajoa Moe]

I wonder if he's grown a personality since then.

[BigJerichool222]

There's a money feud with Brodus Clay if he comes back.

[PKO]

I was on his wikipedia page the other day and had no idea he was 37! He looks so young!

He's a great talent and would be a welcome addition to the midcard once again.

[________ has left the building]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[Bishblast]

I hope it's true... he's done some incredible work in ROH and elsewhere since his last WWE run.

[derangedhermit]

Perhaps they can debut him as Big E's mild-mannered civilian form.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

I like Benjamin.

Even though he's utterly devoid of personality I can give him a pass because I know his matches are gonna be awesome enough to make up for it.

[Rican]

I'm a huge Shelton fan so I hope this is true.

I mostly saw him in his Sisqo days, and I thought he was really good but pretty dry as a personality. If he comes back as a babyface, I think Kofi's spot's in jeopardy.

[BiloxiParish]

Never cared for him. He is on my shelf next to MVP.

Shelton is a better athlete/wrestler, but Kofi has a better personality in spite of being just the generic smiley good guy.

[AdamAFL was sooooo wrong]

He has not. At all. And on top of that his matches have become a lot worse too (at least in ROH anyway, not seen his Japanese stuff).

Sounds odd but Charlie has been the life & soul of WGTT in ROH personality wise. He just comes off like a jock jerk arsehole whereas Shelton is the same freak athlete who tries to look a bit of a dick but fails at that.

[Legion]

Why?

They already have a plethora of new mid card talent, why do they need to bring back old, and frankly, failed ones from the past?

The only time Shelton was of any use was as a spot monkey, which they have Kofi for now, or when he was stuck with his Mama, and even that was her, not him.
