Where the hell is Benjamin?

I was watching WM 22 the other night and man, some of the stuff Benjamin did in the MITB II match were unreal. Why is this guy not on RAW? It's like they push him for a few months, give him the IC title, then have him lose and he goes away for a few months before they recycle the pattern....remember he was also the IC champ going into the first MITB at WM 21.

This guy can work and I know the knock is he's not good on the mic, but he's been given, what, 2-3 chances to cut a promo? You can't expect everyone to be Stone Cold or the Rock right out of the box.

WWE needs to push Benjamin towards the top...it's obvious that won't happen on RAW, so move him to SD! and give him a chance to run with the ball. I think he'd do quite well.

Yeah I really don't understand why he hasn't been on tv lately, he should be a top player in the company.



Remember the Spyda, dude ..

yea its a shame they keep eugene and what not on tv but not shelton wtf is goin on...imo he should go to sd and turn face fued with kennedy they need faces on sd. I think if they give him enough tv time he could be a main eventer in the next couple years but it seems they don't know what to do with him. I wish they would give him a manager maybe coach..maybe that could help like shane-o helped benoit. or put him in a stable as the unstoppable machine..so many things that will never happen to him..they are wastin excellence

Bow down to da KING

I couldn't tell you but he has been on Heat the past few weeks so that is where you can find him.

Yeah, the loyal viewers of Heat have been graced with his presence. I read on a few news sites that he's being kept off TV since the creative team are thinking up a gimmick for him... but as of yet they haven't come up with anything (surprise, surprise!)

I'd be all for him going over to Smackdown. He could easily be thrown into the upper card. He'd be more believable as the champion over there, than on raw.

Edge will rise again...

If Shelton isn't placed on Smackdown, the next best thing they should do for him is to reunite the Worlds Greatest Tag Team.

That way, Haas isn't stuck in a dead end thing with Viscera either. Plus, it could help the Tag Division on RAW too... since it's pathetic as we speak.

I'm more of a Smackdown fan than RAW.

Benjamin to Smackdown, its as easy as that. Once he's there, the new fueds and matches should write themselves.

Benjamin vs Benoit
Benjamin vs Batista
Benjamin vs Lashley
Benjamin vs Kennedy
Benjamin vs Finlay
Benjamin vs Undertaker

All of those fueds would have great potential in my opinion, if only they give Benjamin and chance to do what he does best. And that is mould up like a Benoit who can get over on his ring-skill alone and being selective with his words.

I wish my sex life was like ECW, first you get a One Night Stand followed by 2 months of nostalgic orgasms and then 6 months of constant sucking.

I do feel for benjamin. He works hard, he does have charisma (although maybe not as much as WWE may wish for yet) and is the epitome of what an IC champion is. A move to Smackdown may be the best thing, it may help him to refine his abilities to main event. I personally feel that the US title (although necessary as a secondary title) means nothing - dont know why, maybe its the design of the belt because it looks like a five year old's design project - and wouldn't do anything for shelton so a feud with benoit, finlay, kennedy, etc is the way to go

They're clearly waiting for a time when he becomes overweight and unathletic and is then more at home with WWE's main event "punch and kick" style.

I remember when Mark Henry won the gold medal at the Atlanta olympics with a broken neck and was a wrasslin' god. Look what they done, waited until he was fat and rubbish and then pushed him to main event status.
