Shelton Benjamin's First Post-WWE Video Interview with Main Event Radio's Ryan Rider

[bassy21]

team angle was the SHIT !!!!!!!!!

[kedordu]

WHY DOESN'T HE JUST BE THIS PERSON HE IS AS HIS GIMMICK . HES TALKING !

[kedordu]

shelton benjamin needs a manager and a mask . and he need to be a monster heel .he needs to be like an undertaker personality . but like a genie . that plays into his colour as a slave . im not saying it in a racist way . but its clever .

[nljuggalo]

@kedordu WWEkids should hire you. Check into the madhouse while your at it.

[kedordu]

@nljuggalo

you are from newfoundland. that is all

[thendy88]

I don't understand why Shelton Benjamin didn't know he was in Svr 11... I played it before. He had a speaking role in the storyline...

[JacksonXxXWaWa]

Is wwe direcors are racist? thats why shelton didnt make big carrer in wwe that he deserve it ??

[limetheleamer]

yea for sure khali is a joke now...but benjamin never had the hype that kkhali had in his early days...to be honest...I think Shelton benjamin's career opportunities got snubbed cuz he came out with haas...nothin against haas...but together they werent really an exciting tag team relative to the others at the time...so they didnt get the boost they needed for their solo careers!

[trounbyfire]

WAIT A FUCKING SECOND you mean to tell me after years of being bad on mic he actually isn't bad on mic...i am lost here. i liked the gold standard but gold needs gold could have worked if he got the title shot.

problem is wwe can't make heels these days. they have no reason to be heels, they don't really feud they just have matches against each other.

if Shelton goes to tna with kurt they might get me to watch.

[DragonballNGTeam]

lol I laughed so hard when the dude yelled in the back and shelton was like what the hell. But Shelton was excellent.

[vcownzraptors]

the wwe completely dropped the ball on this dude

[nwolwo]

did he wreslte in a few dark matches? in wwe i thought he was coming back

[intheTea04]

He seems like a great guy. Hope he finds success in what he wants to do.

[nevertweet015]

whats amazing to me and impressive on sheltons part is you calm he is when talking about how he was mis used and how he knows it's a buisness and some times basically shit happens where as guys like charlie hass, matt hardy,paul london mr kennedy carlito etc(and I could go on it's basically every guy who didn't become champion) all seem resentfull/angery/butt hurt which to me is rather pathetic, so benjamin deserves some props in my book.

[00ghostcobra]

The word that Shelton was looking for when describing what the WWE was looking for was STEREOTYPICAL. The role of educated black man has no place in the WWE... Before anyone argues; simply look at the history of the organization...

[Raad187KO]

THERE DONIG TO KOFI EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID TO BENJAMIN NOW

[ReALiTeeChEkk]

WWE completely fucked up with Benjamin. He's one of the greatest athletes i've ever seen in pro wrestling and put on some phenominal matches. Maybe he wasn't the best on the mic but i didnt think he was terrible either. When u have an athlete with his wrestling ability it's up to the creative team to figure out how to make the most out of him and they didnt do that in WWE.

[00ghostcobra]

@ReALiTeeChEkk Mic skills is what managers are for... If WWE would stop paying all of those dumb ass females to run around half naked and put some of that money into hiring mouth pieces; then Benjamins lacking on the mic would not have been a problem. Fact is that Shelton was one of the five greatest athletes to ever step into a WWE ring.

[ReALiTeeChEkk]

@00ghostcobra , I agre 100%. Great managers are what i miss most in pro wrestling. There are no more Heenans, Cornettes, or Jimmy Harts these days. Not only were they entertaining but they served a great purpose in talking for guys like Benjamin. WWE definitely has 2 many hot chics that cant talk or wrestle. Kelly Kelly is the worst in my opinion.

[atlkinkyboi]

shelton told the truth about that racist ass company . Always trying to bury the good black wrestlers for boring , trash white ones, like Cena and orton. Theyre the reason wwe ratings are so dam low. Also as far as that gimmick thing goes. Shelton was right, now we see why Booker T won a world title , he had to turn into King booka

[Craverofchocolate]

Benjamin is great. Happy to see him and Haas on ROH. I'm sure they'll be used properly there.

[y2jchampion]

WWE dropped the ball big time with this guy.

[21richkid]

Haas and Benjamin are a great tag team. WWE underused them in singles except Benjamin is a former IC and US Champion, also a tag team champion. Right now they have Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater, The Miz and Alex Riley, Kozlov and Santino who are tag team champs in the division.

[SpaceNTime77]

LMFAO 2:04

but forreal! Thank god shelton's gonna be used properly now. He's a god gifted athlete

[cottontalk]

It sounds like Shelton doesn't want to burn his bridges. He didn't get specific as to why he wasn't used properly or who wanted him to be a black stereotype. I really want to know who is still pushing these old stereotypes.

[TheObserver85]

They(WWE) wanted Shelton Benjamin A World Class Champion material Athlete to play a stereotype. Glad Shelton Finally Won a World Title I wish him Luck in the Future.

Not saying WWE is racist but come on having Kofi play a Jamaican when he really wasn't is just Ignorant.

[Janayla94]

I wonder if the WWE will make a Shelton Benjamin 3-disc DVD set because I'd be the first to actually buy it over everyone else lol!!!

[Epic13]

This guy is the greatest wrestler today!

[rmathew2]

This guy in MMA would be awesome

[Bossdog05]

When I heard a rumor saying that Shelton didn't want to be a maineventer I thought it was all bs. I even tried to look for proof of that statement and couldn't find it anywhere. All of those fantastic matches he took part in weren't all for nothin. This man should have became a maineventer around 06. Hopefully he goes to either ROH or TNA cause WWE don't like pure talented wrestlers and if u don't believe it look at Danielson, Morrison, and Bourne as examples.

[jrdudedj]

@Bossdog05 You nailed it, wrestlers can main event WWE one pure talking power. Cena and Orton both have extremely limited movesets and they almost never try anything new because they just botch them for the most part. And Danielson just got squashed by Sheamus the last two RAWs. WWE just sucks, great for children, but i'm just about done. I actually skipped half of RAW last week for the first time ever.

[dagameplayer30]

@jrdudedj What is a squash match?

[jrdudedj]

@dagameplayer30 A squash match is when they book a match having one guy completely destroy some other guy. They usually have guys like Sheamus, Cena, Orton, Triple H, Undertaker and Kane completely destroy guys like Evan Bourne, Daniel Bryan, Shelton Benjamin, Yoshi Tatsu, ect. It's okay to do it once in awhile, but they do it every week.

[2betheman1]

I am so happy that shelton benjamin returned to wrestling and is having fun again also very proud of the fact of his newest achievement becoming a world champ finally in WWC reforming the WGTT in ROH great match shelton but only one thing Shelton give the wrestling fans the match of the decade by wrestling the Phenomenal A.J Styles and Kurt Angle of TNA as a true fan of the greatest wrestler today Mr. Shelton Benjamin those matches would energize wrestling again all over again



[dagameplayer30]

LOL at 2:04 I KNEW SHELTON WASNT BEING USED PROPERLY! Everyone has been saying that Shelton didn't want to be a main eventer and a world champion because it was too much work for him. But, you guys are WRONG! He wanted to be at the top. WWE let him go, because everyone else had a gimmick and he didn't. While everyone else had a character, Shelton was himself. WWE just lost one of their most pure talented wrestlers in HISTORY of the WWE.

[limetheleamer]

@dagameplayer30 yea...but its the WWE...gimmicks make the wrestlers...not there TRUE ability to fight...its just a violent soap opera...u wanna be a talented fighter...join the UFC...however i will say that the wwe is definitely failing miserably when it comes to storyline...unless ur 6...well then yea...

[dagameplayer30]

@limetheleamer Have you ever noticed in the post-mcmahon era, that the wwe and their storylines are becoming even more interesting and predictable than ever? Especially the CM Punk vs. Triple H vs. Kevin Nash feud. I tune in to RAW every week just to see CM Punk. He doesnt need gimmicks to be fun.

[limetheleamer]

@dagameplayer30 ...see but they got charisma...its still not about talent...like, take rey mysterio...he's talented...but he wont ever be considered as a SERIOUS contender for the wwe championship...even if he had held it at point ( i think)...he just doesnt have the image man, eddie guerrero however...was somewhat talented, but also had his only VIVA LA RASA...and other stuff...and shelton benjamin could never really play heel...he just didn't have it in him...even his face was kinda weak.

[limetheleamer]

@limetheleamer however...my favorite wwe match was Shawn Micheals VS Benjamin

[mikej690]

@limetheleamer they told eddie would never be a wwe champion at all along with myserio and y2j but they'll all proved them wrong and besides if wwe can give great khail and jack swagger world championship gold then i dont see why not give shelton the world championship. khail doesnt have mic skills or in ring talent but he's won gold and when you look at swagger he isn't much of a talker

[limetheleamer]

@mikej690 Khali used to have that intimidation factor...and Swagger...he is a talker...he just has a speach impediment...iuno I just never cared for Shelton has a main event kinda guy...well he did have that match with micheals...which would become one of my favs

[mikej690]

@limetheleamer now khail's a joke, swagger despite he speak problem is a great athele but other then that he's a guy who gets buried alot. i could see shelton benjamin as a top guy
