He's in the world of sports entertainment. Never had a shot. Had AEW, MLW, or ROH been around way back when like they are now, he'd had seen success. WWE might pay well and get you famous ... but it's its own breed of BS. He missed his chance. Lol ROH was around and he did even less there. Shelton was perfect as an Intercontinental champion. He had a great run with some great matches. I never saw him as a WWE champion though.

Hurt Business was broken up way too soon.

He was there at the wrong time. And now it's too late.

I think he would have been a transitional champ if he ever won. There was that time where he was having awesome matches on Raw that a title win would have been believable and a lot of people would have been behind.

Much like Cesaro, incredible talent, but not a good enough talker to be a main event guy. Next man's sweater thinks they should become a tag team together. One where they don't ever speak. They just work matches.

Super disappointing... Him and John Morrison deserve to be World Champions

They gave him a ton in his early days, not like he was useless. He's had multiple championships too. I don't think he ever was "world champion" material. He's absolutely top notch in the ring and can go with anyone. He's also being truly misused currently.

Super disappointing... Him and John Morrison deserve to be World Champions The world championship isn’t just a trophy for everyone who can do a springboard move. The world title is for main characters. Shelton isn’t that guy. If every midcardboi like Shelton and Morrison got to be world champion, the bar would get even lower and people would cry about which lowercarders and jobbers and Heat/Velocity regulars should have been world champion. Evan Bourne! Essa Rios! Paul London! Billy Kidman! Ricochet! Hurricane! William Regal! Chad Gable! The Dillinger! Gangrel! Lance Storm! Zack Ryder! Curt Hawkins! Bald Revival! Other Revival! EC3! Curtis Axel! Bo Dallas! Fandango! Tyler Breeze! Tyson Kidd! Kalisto! Etc etc

It had legitimacy when it was first introduced with HHH as champ but over the years it slowly ranked down to basically being an upgraded version of the IC title.

The Hurt Business needs Benjamin & Cedric back.
I also agree that Benjamin & Morrison deserve at least one run with the World Title, even Mysterio & Hardy deserves one more!
