Rate The Wrestler - Day 158 - Shelton Benjamin

[DaveWadding]

Hello and welcome to Day 158 of RTW.

Yesterday, one of the best guys (IMO) in the X Division, "Primetime" Elix Skipper scored an excellent (if not a little high) 85.

Today, we have a wrestler who I'm surprised that we actually haven't done. He was a two sport star (track and wrestling) at the University of Minnesota, where in fact, he roomed and trained with Brock Lesnar. He's also a former tag champ and the current Intercontinental Champion, and there isn't any stopping him now.

Ladies and gents, I give you SHELTON BENJAMIN.

[Mr. Nerfect]

8. This guy is talented, and he will be a future player. I just wish they'd let him put o entertaining matches and let him work the mic more.

[KayfabeMan]

[Eunos]

9.5.. This guy's going to be big.

Don't give up on him Vince.

[Funky Fly]

He is spectacular to watch when he is mat wrestling and he is explosive as a brawler. As long as he keeps working those mic skills, he will be the total packaga and world title material in a few years.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>9. I, like many others, predict huge things from him in the future.</font>

[nelioneil]

9. A great in-ring performer, has a great range of moves and really makes watching wrestling really enjoyable. His profile has shined since moving to Raw. Can see him main-eventing in the near future

[SuperSlim]

9.5
the guy has everything to make it. There are only two things keepin him down. Mic skills and Triple H.

[Murja]

8 - for now, if this were done again next year I'm sure he'd get a even better rating.

[The Answer]

[Sickboy]

[Rain Man]

Amazing in the ring, a little bit lacking on the mic but once he gets the mic down... he will be the total package.

[Kane Knight]

Solid 8. In a couple of years, he might be the best current wrestler. Right now, he's good, and could go places. LOTS of places.

[Gone Mad]

8.7, you can't complain too much about this guy and you shouldn't. Great all-around talent that showed everyone on his first match on Raw that he is the company's future.

[Crippler 666]

9.5 One of the best all round wrestlers today.
