I like but I want Charlie Haas also so they can team up in the tag division. So that Shelton isn't just a mid card bore like Tensai!

You're comparing Tensai to Shelton? Shelton is a great wrestler Tensai. His mic skills are seriously lacking, but there are a couple upper mid card talents who are just the same.

Shelton Benjamin > Kofi Kingston

RE: Kelly Kelly is a slut

I'm excited somewhat, but then not really. Shelton is great in the ring, but he has almost zero charisma and pretty bad mic skills, and so he's likely destined to be just another guy on the roster they can count on to put others over (and make them look good in the process) and nothing more. Might as well go to TNA or just stay in ROH.

This is good though. Having someone go over Shelton in style helps them a lot. Shelton is never going to get some big push, he'll probably be in a tag-team eventually or will just be used for big spots.

Would want to see Shelton vs Kofi.

Suckhole feud, I can put my reputation on it. It's just two jumpers and flyers feuding, plus Benjamin has zero personality and -1 charisma.

Kofi is better, but Benjamin sucks and the feud would be atrocious.

Can't blame him, he's obviously doing it for the money. Good for him, he doesn't know how many years he has left. He might as well make as much as possible while he can. He was never going to be a HOFer anywhere, anyway.

Isn't that the typical veteran mind set? On your final stretch try to make as much money as possible then put some younglings over.

I don't see the problem with this? Fill up the midcard so we can prevent matches like Otunga/Khali from happening ever again. Even if he's filler, at least he's good filler.

Don't want to see the feud (will skip), just those two in the ring.

Yes!

Awesome news. Shelton was a good worker.

Kofi vs Shelton indeed needs to happen.

Oh you know, watchable filler matches perhaps?

You guys do realize on RAW we had:

Kofi vs Tensai

Otunga vs Khali

Brodus vs JTG

Now tell me, how much did you guys like them? They sucked, didn't they? They were merely filler. Filler that made you go on online forums to complain about and barely watch. Why? Because they were boring and no one wants to watch them.

Get this though. What would happen if they got better midcarders to make that filler time interesting? To have good quality matches? That would be good, right? You wouldn't need to complain, you could watch the matches happily whilst you waited for the Main Event.

Wrestling isn't just the Main Event. Every match makes the show, and right now the only thing going for the WWE (barely still) is its Main Event and Upper-Midcard roster, whom barely wrestle outside of random tag-team matches or PPV's. The majority of every RAW, Smackdown or whatever other show is the mid and low card roster, which is AWFUL. They need to fix it.
