The SGM Super 30 Black Professional Wrestler #6

Shelton Benjamin

<Jim Ross> Hands down one of the most gifted athletes to ever wrestle in the squared circle.</Jim Ross> I dig Shelton’s vibe, and I wonder how much longer it will be before we see at least a single DVD release of his best matches - the clean defeat of Triple H, some World’s Greatest Tag Team/ Team Angle stuff, and that impressive three-way against Jericho and Christian the night after WM21. I guess, since he hails from Orangeburg, SC, my adopted state, that makes him my adopted homeboy.

He also shares props with AJ Styles as a guy who can do some amazing things in the ring, but can’t cut a promo for shit. I’d love to see a match between the two. A debate between the two? Not so much.
