World Wrestling Entertainment sent out a casting call this week expressing its desire to find a woman to play "Shelton Benjamin's Mama" on the RAW brand.
The ideal candidate would be in her 50s, black and heavyset with a "good personality."
Assuming WWE goes through with the plan, the character will travel with the RAW brand for three to six months.
WWE has never been afraid to use a stereotype, and a black and heavyset woman with a "good personality" in her 50s is a stereotype of an elderly southern woman.
I'm curious where they are going with this, but I doubt it will be good.

Well it would be pretty stupid to have her be a young white women from California now wouldn't it. How is it stereotyping? I don't think her being a MILF would work, do you? Other than her being fat, all moms are fat, everyone knows this lol.
So does this sound like the death of Benjamins push instantly after it begins? Now Ortons dad makes sense, Bookers wife makes sense, kind of, but Shelton's Mom?
I think it will be more like her being upset with her son or her being some evil mother who encourges him to do anything he can to get the top spot? I am sure Kurt ANgle will want some.
