    The fact that this man was let go by the WWE crushes me. First, he should have been placed under Heyman or any spoke person under his first run. Athletically speaking, one of the BEST that ever laced a pair of boots. Personally, I don't know him personally, but looks like a class act. Insane that he wasn't given at least the possibility of staying in the company to help develop or produce behind the scenes.

    Sheldon’s saying he’s fine being enhancement talent. He’s done his thing, won his titles, had his runs. He’s fine working programs that put other guys over. Max is really broadcasting his insecurity. I’m not saying he doesn’t have a legitimate overall point; every big wrestling company has had the issue of bringing in outside guys that eclipse their guys - it ain’t just AEW. But you also gotta take it on a wrestler-by-wrestler basis. This ain’t somebody like an Edge coming in and needing to have the top spot for carryover purposes (you don’t bury one company’s big name under your names because that’s a waste of money); this is a guy that’s a solid name but a more solid hand that has proven he can go. Kofi crossing over, maybe worry. Shelton? Nah. Just ride the wave and the money.

    Shelton's been around long enough to know what he does and doesn't bring to the table. He's a very solid performer who may not have been used to his full potential that we as fans see, but with what he was offered and allowed to do, he was very good at it. If Max sees Shelton as a threat to "his" spot, that's on him.

  • @Unitenotfight
    @Unitenotfight Před 15 dny

    Shelton, if you’re seeing this, I was the kid who would bring the Shelton 3:16 sign to OVW shows all those years ago. Thank you for being the humble, yet extremely gifted talent that you were. And being so nice to a young fan, not only at the shows, but also running into you at non wrestling events randomly around town.
    Shelton was and still is so damn good. In an alternate universe somewhere, Brock doesn’t leave WWE to try and play football. Then while dominating the roster, forms a faction that includes Shelton, one of his closest friends irl. This gives Shelton a mouthpiece in Heyman that makes up for his one and only shortcoming. Eventually the stable would turn on Brock, with Shelton as the new leader for Brock to fued with. This makes Shelton a multi time WWE champion in the process.
    Many say that Scott Hall was the best wrestler to never win a major world title. Not to take anything away from Hall, but I would put Shelton above him on that list. Did I mention that Shelton was so damn good? 🤔 😂 Seriously, had WWE truly gotten behind him, dude would be the absolute GOAT. 🐐

They just wanted WWE to be as good as can be, enough to tune in on a weekly basis and forget about trying to find WWE in other promotions.”
      That 2017-2021 WWE lull made fans turn against them for good reason, but to the point of actual hatred for the company. AEW was new, hot and fresh and came at the right time. It just so happens that a lot of that hatred is still there even while WWE is improving on all fronts. It’s not a perfect product, but still. It’s something to think about. A lot of those fans haven’t let go of their hatred for WWE and are using that to indirectly support AEW. Like you said, it’s less about liking the AEW, and more about hating WWE.
