I've never gotten the appeal of Carlito as a main eventer. I'd gladly strap a rocket to MVP, Lashley or even Shelton, provided that the timing was right. Never cared for Kennedy at all.

Carlito could work, and he could talk, but it was also pretty obvious he didn't really give a shit. I think he knew that no matter what happened for him in the WWE, he had daddy's fed back in Puerto Rico to fall back on, so he never tried all that hard. |

Shelton is one of my all time favorites and wish he had gone further than he did. Think all he needed was a decent manager (not his mama) and he would have been able to make it big. I actually think the MVP gimmick would have been great for Shelton and would have made more sense for him, since MVP himself had no history with the WWE and we were never given a reason why this random guy was holding out for a big contract and there was a battle over him. The angle could have been that Shelton's contract had expired and he hired an agent to try and get a big contract from RAW or SmackDown, playing up his potential and athleticism. They could have played vignettes showing his past matches and his agent doing all the talking for him. In my fantasy booking I wanted Human Tornado for the role.
As for the others, I was always a Carlito fan but never pegged him to go higher than upper midcard. I was a huge Kennedy mark but as others have said he proved to be a one trick pony pretty quickly. MVP was a great promo and had a cool character but I always thought his matches were kind of boring. And Lashley was turning into a pretty good wrestler but should not have ever been anywhere near a microphone.

I think somehow if you could combine MVP's mic work with Shelton's ring skill you'd have a surefire main eventer. As such you had two flawed wrestlers that never quite made it big. Anyway I voted for Lashley regardless of his lesser mic work since his gimmick could be more of a silent wrecking crew type. I still don't get how he never quite became the consistent main eventer WWE wanted him to be.
Kennedy was fool's gold. He had a nice initial shtick but once you realized that's all he has, it got old. And he's not great in the ring, and also injury prone to boot. Carlito is someone that seemed more like a 1980s era jobber than a serious main eventer.

They're all mid-card status at best.

I voted Shelton because of his workratez, but looking back on that MVP segment with PS Michael Hayes and the related love/hate feud/partnership with Matt Hardy of all unlikely people he was better on the mic than pretty much everyone in the WWE today (I would put him on Paul Heyman's level, in fact).

Personally, I'd choose Shelton because I think he's one of the best athletes to have ever wrestled for WWE.
Objectively I think MVP is the right choice.
