The feeling within management on Shelton Benjamin is that he “coasts†too much, presumably because he’s athletically gifted. McMahon hasn’t invested more time in him because there are doubts about his hunger and willingness to work as hard as is necessary consistently if he were to get a top push. Also, his promo skills remain a concern. Road agent reports from house shows on Benjamin and Carlito are consistently inconsistent, which works against them. Regarding Carlito, the rap on him is that there is a sense of entitlement and that he’s comtimes across as content, if not spoiled.
