I honestly believe Shelton is the epitome of “underrated”
This is the Shelton the fans want. Talk your 💩
But he's got a bad attitude
Very underated
@@marcohavokkhaosand how do you know that
When he beat triple h, I freaking lost it in a good way!
"Holla, Player!"😂
😂😂gotta love teddy long
It's always awesome when the wrestlers acknowledge that they watch the Ups and Downs video.
Most wrestlers watch all the same videos fans do. They’re in the comment sections on CZcams, on Twitter, on the Reddit threads under random names.
I clicked on this video so fast. I wish WWE brought him back and let his personality show. Let him team with Perc Gable and have em tear through the mid card.
That would be cool. I'll never understand why they held him down.
You mean like they did in 2017 and went nowhere?
@@Cameron_611the key is actually letting Benjamin show his personality and letting him and Gable have a legit run.
Neither happened during the run with Gable.
One of the best interviews I've seen in a while, loved the Teddy Long cameo
Back in the day when I used to see Shelton regularly on WWE and then now with the current roster in WWE, I can honestly say Shelton was the original ricochet back then. This man used to do things I thought were impossible to do.
Shelton Benjamin is a legend and future Hall Of Famer. I can't wait to see what he does next.
Love Shelton confidence
Sheldon Benjamin and Simon Miller should be an awesome tag team called the two bald dudes or thunder and lighting or ups and downs?
And also bring Teddy long as Thier manager. Holla holla
Respect to you both. Love the line of work ✊🏽
Love Shelton! Never forget how much he impressed me against jericho back in the day
Shelton’s one of the greatest of all time. Sure, WWE didn’t know what they had when they had him, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that he left an impression on so many of us with his incredible athleticism!
I wouldn't go that far. The cream really does rise to the top. He was bad on the mic and had zero charisma. His "momma" was more over than him.
I was in Boston for that super kick!
Such a great video! Thank you, Shelton. Thank you, Simon!
I met Shelton years ago in between his WWE runs and he was so cool and down to earth. Also, fucking jacked.
Shelton is amazing no doubt no matter where he goes he’ll be an asset to any promotion! He has earned himself a world championship anywhere he goes I’d love to watch him with a world title run any where he decides to work for!
Loved Teddy Long popping in! Shelton is awesome and its a damn shame he was released. I hope he's able to continue entertaining us and doing what he loves.
Simon, I've been subscribed to this channel since the early days. The channel content is at an all time low HOWEVER you are carrying this channel with your awesome content!
I remember when shelton & gable used to do those helerious promos together. It was so good.
Shelton is my favorite active wrestler, and seeing my favorite GM pop in, ahh this made my day. I wish Shelton the best. 20 years watching this guy.
I miss seeing Shelton wrestle in Japan :(.
Would love to see Shelton get another run in a top company again
I hope he goes to New Japan
Best athlete to ever come out of Orangeburg, South Carolina. Proud of the wrestler but more importantly the person Shelton Benjamin is.
Gold Standard even outside of WWE
Shelton has been one of my favourite since he broke up from haas when he went over to raw and beat HHH
Simon & Shelton tag team
I would have lost it if Teddy was like, "You Simon, playa and Shelton having a tag team match against the Undertaker and Cain! "Holla holla holla"
LMFAO
This was a cool interview! My friend's mom is kayfabe Mama Benjamin. I'm about to tell her to watch this interview.
She may not want to remember that; she said she was one of Vince's..."fancies"...
Thea? Does she still do stand-up?
I have this sneaky feeling that Simon vs Shelton might be happening at Progress..... I could be wrong though, just feel that it's one of those matches you mentioned on your tweet.....
WhatCulture Wrestling, You're the best! I subscribed because I love your content!
Shelton is just joy. Sad to see him leave but glad he is happy. Definitely under used and under paid but always greatly appreciated!
Great interview. Sheldon is the man and so underrated
1:02-1:10 I mean I won't deny that.
Shelton seems like such a chill dude, wherever he ends up wrestling I hope he gets more time on the mic!
Golden Up to Shelton Benjamin 👍
Crazy these two are on the same show in the UK in a few weeks ☝🏻
Lets book the dream match between these two.
I've had the pleasure of seeing Shelton Benjamin wrestle in Brighton against Andrade. He is an an amazing wrestler with phenomenal talent, and a great guy with a good attitude towards wrestling and others. I wish him the all the best. ❤
such a good interview
Always a joy to see Teddy!
Shelton should have definitely had a upper card run, hell he even should have been world championship
Dam shame, maybe comes back for a royal rumble entrance, wish him the best
TEDDY 😊
Great to hear this side of Shelton, why he ain't never cut loose like that on the mic in WWE!
Cause of racis McMahon that why
@@bornfromforeign Vince pushed other black talents to a different degree so I don’t think it was that
Hope we can see a Shelton and Simon tag team one day
The Black & White Marbled Marvels
Humble underdescribes this gentleman.
They’re talking about how big Shelton is and my immediate thought was damn Simon is as big as Shelton! Also kinda want to see the two of them work together, would just be fun matches with guys having fun.
Great interview, makes me appreciate Sheldon even more.
🗣 DIAMOND!
Shelton Benjamin has always been a top tier performer and will do great no matter where he goes!
Props for holding your laugh in at the start. Shelton should've been used better
I love Shelton Benjamin. One of my favourites
Great video! Love this guy!
Good work fellas!
What a top guy
Holla playa lol Love Teddy's cameo.
Respect to good ole Shelton name-dropping Chuck Palumbo.
What a bloody lovely bloke
Shelton is such a likable guy
Very awesome Simon!!!!
Always loved Shelton one of the best
One of my favorite IC champions ever.
January 10 is officially Shelton Benjamin day. Should have won MitB 3x, multiple world title winner, and he’s right… Billy Gunn is ALWAYS bigger than you think he is.
Billy and Chuck referenced by one man in the same video!!
Shout out to Shelty B!! 🙌🔥
Shelton Benjamin is already a legend!
💎
Ain't no stopping me now
Teddy out here thuggin & buggin.🤣
Perception 100% even Rey is more muscular than many regular folks

i turned 7 on January 10 2000
Great interview
Shelton is a legend one of the best
Shelton is a class act.
Shelton deserves a golden up. He is one of the best wrestlers in the world.
I always enjoyed watching Sheldon wrestle. I hated WWE for not using him more. I hope he goes to some promotion that he still appears on the tv screen.
Shelton vs Ziggler nic Namath in tna would go hard
I love it!!!
I remember Chuck Palumbo
Billy Gunn is underrated
I use to think Jeff hardy was short, until I found he is like 6'2 and then you realize how big these guys actually are, freaking monsters lol
Yea the tv make them short but if you go close to them u be like 😮
Gold Standard, Shelton Benjamin 🌟
Shelton vs Swerve would be a great match
Big ups for his performance in Australia! I had ringside seats to greatness. I also met him at the Starrcast event he mentioned, I was blown away by the size of his arms!
Wait. Is Simon bigger than Shelton? I wanna see this match
Hopefully he’ll comes back to wwe
Love Shelton

AEW would be a good fit Shelton Benjamin. Give him a wrestlers, wrestler gimmick or the don't disrespect me gimmick.
This is the Shelton we want. If WWE would let him be him.
I met Shelton & Haas in 2011. It was nice of him to talk and answer our questions. But he seemed like he didn't want to be bothered, like it annoyed him to talk to fans, at a wrestle con. And it's not like he had that many people coming up to his booth. From a fan perspective, he seems too big for his britches. Like he acts like a bigger start than he really is.
This guy NEEDS TO BE IN THE HALL OF FAME. I can’t say this any louder
Shelton Benjamin needs to be in TNA 🔴🟡!!! ⭐⭐⭐
Bout time he left. Maybe now he can actually shine somewhere.
He'd have been a world champion in Impact.
Why'd he keep staying with them as long as he did?
I hope he has a comeback like Cody he deserves it even more then cody honestly
the fact him & Gable didn’t win tag titles still pisses me off
“Don’t poor Shelton me, l make hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
WWE missed a trick with this guy, he had it all as far as in ring work goes, should have been a main event main stay in his prime
Shelton be needing a golden standard up!!!!
“I will DESTROY THEM!”
