Rhetorical question: Why is Shelton Benjamin impressing?

No, I'm pretty sure it's the company limiting them.

RVD is a PRIME example. Look at his matches early on in the InVasion angle: he was doing incredible spots having incredible matches with everyone from Chris Jericho to Kurt Angle to Steve Austin. For the past year or so he's been extremely toned down to the 5 Star, rolling thunder, and occasionally a split-legged moonsault.

There are plently more examples, and it all goes back to a couple years ago when Vince told all the guys to tone down their styles in the ring as to try and deter more injuries. Unfortunately, he ignored the fact that individual styles are what make matches interesting.
