Vince,"We've already got too many Sheltons as it is." yeah, I said in another thread no more of this casual racist they all look a like shit. It's a joke from Vince! Yeah, don't care. It's still making some of our posters uncomfortable. This is my last warning. No more. It's done. STOP IT EVERYONE. Just a suggestion but maybe put a stickied post about this? I still laugh at the joke, and probably would've continued to make them had I not seen this, as I didn't know there was a warning in another thread.

Always thought his lack of decent storylines and pushes was due to lack of ambition or confidence, most of the guys with books or on podcasts say you've got to be the one knocking on Vince's door and bugging him 24/7 to get his attention. Gotta be a factor in why he was never tested beyond the midcard as one hell of a wrestler and while nothing special on the mic he was certainly passable, no way near as bad as some claim.

Here's a thought, but maybe, just maybe, he doesn't want to come back. Could be as simple as that.

Aren't there false rumors of him returning every year? It does seem like Shelton, Morrison and Carlito are rumored to be in the Rumble every year, haha.

Why bother? He was okay, and little more. A midcard guy with lots of athleticism and no personality, like the WWE doesn't have them coming out of its ears at the moment.
The guy is 40 years old and was never anything approaching a valuable commodity for the WWE. Let him do whatever he's doing in Japan, and let the guys already in the WWE have some opportunities.

I watched him a week ago at the local wrestling promotion, Midwest All Pro. He fought Devin Thomas in what I feel was the Match of the Night. At least **** 1/2 star match.
It made me realize that I missed Shelton Benjamin.

I'm still kind of pissed it took them 6 years to re-sign him.

My dream has come true!! and now he could easiy be WWE champion this time. Get the f*** outta here. It's not 2003-05 anymore. He's not a better wrestler or athlete than like half the roster, and he was NEVER a great promo. He's only gotten worse since leaving WWE, his ROH run was lazy and laughably bad, his New Japan run SUPER DUPER exposed him. Guy's just coming back 'cause somebody's gotta catch L's.

Haven't seen him and Charlie Hass in years but if they can still go I'd love to see TWGTT vs American Alpha. To be honest, I rather have a time displaced young Steiner Brothers against American Alpha. I think my eyeballs just melted. Yes please!

This thread has made me miss Charlie Haas' gimmick where he impersonated other wrestlers.

That's not wrestling, and as for ROH....well that's dull no wonder he wasn't motivated.

I hope he comes back with the black hair. Never dug the golden standard gimmick, I knew it was over with people.

I've seen his matches in the last six years, you clearly haven't. He's not good anymore. Half the current roster blows him out of the water in terms of athletic ability. He'd look old, slow, and exposed. He was great when the midcard was full of undertrained, underdeveloped goobers. Now? Not so much.

I have to agree, Shelton never had any charisma, and there is people that for what he does better. Good for midcard and build some stars. But no way he wins the title.

He a great in ring talent. I'm all for his return because he can still go. Smackdown IC title picture isn't strong and he would be a big help to it and have great matches. He not a Main Eventer but a good IC title contender he is.

He'll Smackdown's version of Cesaro, great matches and midcard leader but never any real main event pushes aside from jobbing to da Champ
