Shelton Benjamin

By Scott Keith on 26 April 2018


Is Shelton Benjamin the most talented wrestler with the worst finisher? Because paydirt is the absolute dirt worst.
​Yeah, the problem is that he’s from the weird time in the mid-2000s when all the midcard guys were using the same neckbreaker variations and you had a million guys “rolling the dice” or using Orton’s Overdrive. The Zig Zag is another remnant from there. Big flashy moves that don’t actually look like they do any logical damage. Although until he got the curb stomp back, I’d have put Seth Rollins at the top of the list with Generic Knee Strike as his “finish”. ​
