Promo: C
His promos really do need work. He really hasn't been anything but a cookie cutter young babyface since jumping to Raw. He did cut an entertaining heel promo at a house show I went to once back when he was still on Smackdown, so I know he can do better.
Moveset: A-
Benjamin is one of (if not the most) talented young superstars on either roster. He's been impressive since day one.
Finisher: B
Good enough (for now).
Match Quality: A-
Benjamin was part of some damn good matches on Smackdown, but hasn't had that many opportunities on Raw (with opponents like Maven and Snitsky, is it his fault?). Last year he had some memorable bouts with Triple H and Randy Orton, so I know he didn't lose his touch.
Overall: B+
If there is any justice, Shelton Benjamin will become a main eventer.

And to think...I once prefered Haas over Benjamin.

TheWeddingBitchErnieRowe basically said what I was going to... I'm so sad I think I'm gonna cry.

Bah, I am no wedding bitch. If you knew the bride in the wedding I'd gone to, you'd feel bad if her wedding was ruined too.
And I think I like Benjamin better than Haas, though Haas has a better finisher (Haas of Pain).

Haas, until recently, has been using Benjamins finishing move (The shitty t-bone suplex). He just started last week to use the Haas of Pain again.

Such a good submission finisher.

I totally marked out for it though on Velocity.
I really hadn't noticed since Haas was injured for a while last year and lost so many matches.

Promo - C
We haven't heard much, and nothing thus far has been great
Moveset - A
I'm becoming a believer in amateur wrestlers moving up to pro. They carry a believable style that I really like.
Finisher - A-
Really good. Getting the clean win on Snitzky with it was impressive.
Match Quality - B
I think he has potential, just not enough opportunity.
Misc. - A
I throw this in for potential. He seems to have everything neccessary to be a star. The one thing tht could keep him uot of the maun event is his race which is sad.
Overall - B+

Promo: C
-Well this is an area where he could use a little work. He's surely not terrible at promo's.....but to go up a level, he's going to have to improve.
Moveset: A
-Personally I think Shelton has one of the better movesets on the RAW brand overall. Plus, with him working with Snitsky......it's showing that he's getting better week by week.
Finisher: B-
-Not that his finisher is the greatest thing in the world or anything, but at least he can hit it crisp pretty much everytime. Not to mention that the WWE tends to be the land of awful finishers (at least for their newer guys) and his is at least something remotely refreshing.
Match Quality:C+
-Now, he would have easily been above the grade I gave him......but his quality of opponents has been lackluster. So that is more booking than it is his inring work.
Overall Grade - B
