Mad Dog Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Are there any rumors floating around about someone in management being upset with him? I mean I don't think the guy's won a match since June. Tonight he had to job to a tag wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I just think it comes down to management not thinking he's charismatic enough or that good of a talker. They're pushing Carlito because they think he's top notch in both of those departments. I would say size, charisma, and talking ability are the 3 most important things that they look at when giving a push, Carlito has two of those, Shelton doesn't have any in their minds. I don't think it's anything personal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SweetMama Scaat Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hes back on Raw on a regular basis, but its ina jobbing capacity, Im thinking (hoping) there setting up a "Ive got to stop my losing steak angle". Some sort of slow build. As far as Trevor Murdoch goes, Is he going solo now? Styles said he "parted ways with his partner". Lance Cade was gving a double chokeslam by the crappy new tag champs through the annouce table; I thought it was jus a worked injury though.

Guest Some Guy Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hes back on Raw on a regular basis, but its ina jobbing capacity, Im thinking (hoping) there setting up a "Ive got to stop my losing steak angle". Some sort of slow build. The problem is that those angles never work. WWE is probably justifying all the jobs he is doing by thinking that it won't hurt him becuase the heel always uses the ropes or some other stupid logic. Shelton has proven that he will get over when he is allowed to win matches. His heat is virtually nonexistant now because they have buried him since winning the IC title over a year ago.

Loss Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 There would be money in a Benjamin/Cena feud if Benjamin could bring it on the mic. That's one case where racial undertones in storylines wouldn't bother me, with Benjamin saying he's content to be himself while Cena wants to be like him. He could expose Cena for growing up in the suburbs, faking the thug stuff, etc. while going on about how he's real and has suffered through hard times, but doesn't feel the need to exploit his hardships to put money in his pocket. Cena could respond by calling him a hypocrite because of those "life in the ghetto" vignettes on Benjamin about a year ago. Shades of gray booking, yeah, but it would probably get over, as long as Shelton could pull off the talking. The only problem is that the crowd would probably side with him.

Coffey Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I'm sure it's just because he was working with Angle and Haas at the time but I enjoyed Shelton a lot more when he was heel. Maybe a turn could benefit him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SweetMama Scaat Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Not really, theres a void on Raw when it comes to faces. Even the heel jobbers outnumber them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
