Decent talker and decent wrestler who suffers from this set of tiny little problems of being absurdly, painfully boring, lacking any semblance of charisma, and being overpushed everywhere he goes. Pretty solid midcard filler guy but for some reason everyone he works with wants to use him as more than that. Dude sounds like Barry Horowitz with a push. More like Billy Gunn without any discernible way to project a personality.

I've never seen the dude have a match, so his memetic boringness is actually really interesting to me.

I'm trying to figure out how Bennett was able to bypass NXT all together and simply debut on SD. Bennett ironically enough may do better in WWE than he did in ROH or TNA. The problem with him in ROH is that he just isn't a good enough or flashy enough worker to get over there and thus any serious push is an overpush. In TNA he was constantly overwhelmed by Maria's over the top heel antics while he was dull as dishwater.
I think that's what Bennett has always been, a bland WWE developmental wrestler. When I first saw him at the Davis Arena in 2010 for ROH that's what he seemed like. On a card where guys just killed each other Bennett went out and wrestled like an OVW dude from 2003. You know though that he'll end up with Maria on Total Divas and probably get some bad push. It cracks me up that Bennett and especially Maria are why my mom quit watching TNA: "Every time I turn it on there's that girl on there and I just cannot STAND her!"

At a glance he kind of seems like, "Hey, dude's alright, there might be something there." And then he just keeps... existing. Nothing gets better, nothing gets worse, he just exists. Though that said while I love the meme I can think of people I find way more boring than Bennett is. Like right offhand, Bennett's not great but he's a better wrestler than, say, Jinder Mahal, and a better talker than, say, Jinder Mahal.

Like right offhand, Bennett's not great but he's a better wrestler than, say, Jinder Mahal, and a better talker than, say, Jinder Mahal. When I started on the Bennett nicknames, it came from a place where yeah, even in TNA where were guys who were worse in various ways, but nobody was so rampantly boring and mediocre as him, paired partly with backlash against him being f***ing all over the show every week. Like yeah, I would consider Jinder worse by every factor than Bennett, but he's also so bad it goes from "he's boring as shit" to "nah this guy actually isn't very good at anything". Jinder also has the weird freakshow things for him going of his ludicrous f***ing push and the is he/isn't he steroid thing before that. Bennett is like going over to a friend's place and being given something that has no flavour, Jinder is more like eating something that tastes like your friend doesn't know what a best before date is and you're both going to have an enlightening stomach pumping experience.

Where is your manager? I'm afraid I'll have to speak to her because this is unacceptable. We need somebody to take the blame for this and I refuse to acknowledge my own participation in the meme.......I only did it because it felt less mean (and slightly more accurate) than to come up with nicknames for how much of a sorry-ass geek Dolph "Still Has EBaumsWorld Bookmarked" Ziggler is. I caved in to peer pressure. I'm not perfect.

Seeing as Bryan is back as GM on Tuesday, they'll have them interrupt him making him the new Miz.

Bennett said goodbye to independent wrestling tonight at a show at the XWA Event Center in West Warwick RI, where he has been running a wrestling school for the better part of a year. While he said he wasn't at liberty to say exactly where he is going, he said to keep an eye out this weekend and that Maria would be with him. This is troubling. Mike Bennett runs a wrestling school which means he's showing other people how to be like Mike Bennett. Not sure if it makes it better or worse, but Taven trains with him. It is technically called the XWA Wrestling Kingdom School.

They're gonna do the Lance Storm boring gimmick with Mike "Math class in sunday" Bennet, but in Mike "white crayon" Bennet's case is true.

The thing is, Mike "'Monster A Go-Go' Without The MST3K Riffing" Bennett was sorta OK in ROH with the Kingdom, but that's because he had Adam Cole and Matt "Matt Heafy Impersonator" Taven (no, really, that's what I think of every time I see Matt Taven) to play off of, and they've proven to be plenty interesting on their own. Bennett has not. It'd be a shame that I stopped watching Smackdown after WM because I'd want to see what kind of reaction he actually gets, but I don't see that as reason enough to start watching again.
