6 Years since we have seen Shelton Benjamin in a WWE ring. I know he's busy doing things but I just don't understand why the sides have not had any talks or why he continues to stay away when he would be huge now with NXT and would be perfect in the IC division on the main roster.

Eh...
He was okay, but not someone I'm dying to see return. I think the reason he hasn't been getting talks is because he probably wouldn't get either the a.) OMG nostalgia pop or b.) OMG this Indy guy is finally here pop.

Good in the ring but that was it. I don't imagine anyone except the OP is desperate to see him back again.

Aren't there false rumors of him returning every year?

He's doing great work in NOAH and had a fantastic match against Naomichi Marufuji last year. He seems to be happy where he is as a part of Suzukigun.

Haven't seen him and Charlie Hass in years but if they can still go I'd love to see TWGTT vs American Alpha.

Easily one of the most underrated talents.
That's a guy that just let his ring work do the talking.
The whole gold standard stuff was dumb though. Not sure what they were hoping to happen with crap like that.
Very few people can wow me in the ring the way Shelton can.

Shelton wasn't exactly setting things on fire the years he was there when he was in his prime, why hire him back now?

He was a very good wrestler that's why.
The roster is so talented now he could have some real classics.

But he stood out back then because the rest of the roster wasn't as good (mostly because developmental and talent relations sucked). Now he'd be a very good wrestler on a roster filled with very good wrestlers who are better and more over than he is (and I think even many of the "bad" wrestlers are more over). |

Because he took to the indies to work on the areas he was lacking and is now a great promo to go with what a fantastic ring worker he's always been. |

We got enough athletically gifted dudes with little character right now

While I thought he was athletically gifted he rarely managed to draw me into his matches, while he would probably be a good hand to have around, I don't think WWE are missing out by not having him on the roster

Right now the problem is that if there is one thing the WWE doesn't lack, it's quality wrestlers, which Shelton is. But he's not a superstar in personality, and therefore, they don't really need him. Plus, I really doubt they would do anything with him anyway except job him.

Even though we have gifted wrestlers now, I find his style better than most of the roster.
