The WWE is currently full of rising young talents but the fact of the matter is this: none of them can touch Shelton Benjamin. I'm sure you'll say this is debatable but I say, "No way!" This guy is the best of the best and has the skills to back it up.

Why am I writing about Benjamin? Because I'm tired of seeing people like Dave Batista and John 'Super' Cena getting all of the attention. Sure Cena's a big draw for Vince's PG rated Monday nights, but Shelton Benjamin is the very definition of a good wrestler.

Just look at this kid. Young, talented, and can do just about anything in the ring.

And let's not forget about his performance in the Money in the Bank ladder match every year. The kid has been in all but one of those matches since they started it in 2005 and has never won one. What the...?

Ahem.

And he's usually the guy that puts on the biggest show in the match.

Tsk. Tsk. Vince McMahon.

What else does this kid have to do to prove to you that he has what it takes to wear the gold? Plus-and I'm sure I'll get lip for this but like I care-I think he deserved the briefcase more than a certain CM Punk.

Buried. That's what happened.

Or maybe not buried. We'll just have to examine this for a minute.

The date is May 5, 2005. The current General Manager of Raw is Mr. Eric Bischoff and he has come up with a brilliant idea.

A Gold Rush Tournament to determine the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. The match of the night? Shelton Benjamin versus Shawn Michaels.

That. Match. Owned.

Benjamin may have lost the match but he put on one hell of a wrestling match. Cena, Dave, I hope you were watching.

Or maybe you weren't. If you did watch I'm sure you would have learned something. Guess not.

My point is this. Wrestling fans all over the world watched Shelton Benjamin wrestle arguably the best performer in the WWE of all time and gave him a run for his money so why the heck is he still a mid card performer jobbing to random people? (In Vince's defense, it seems that his current feud with John Morrison will put him back in the spotlight a little bit.)

So why is Benjamin, who's been a part of the WWE longer than a Kennedy or a Punk, continuously getting pushed aside? Kennedy... I think eventually, he would have made something of himself had he not been injured.

Accidents happen so I won't down him much. I will say that his wrestling skills are standard at best and he's pretty good on the mic. As for Punk, can someone please tell me why the hell he won the briefcase two years in a row?

Ah yes.

The WWE realized its mistake when they gave Punk such a crappy reign as champion the first time. That's an argument in itself that I don't care to open for discussion right now.

I really hope that Benjamin gets his chance this time. I know he may not have the best mic skills (and that's the only flaw I see) but that can be overlooked. Hell, Jeff Hardy doesn't have the best mic skills but that did not stop him from becoming the WWE Champion.

I'm Nefatiri and that's what I think.
