This seems to be the general attitude of most AEW talent towards established (usually WWE) talent. The zero-sum mentality is why that company is in the shape it’s in.
Too bad he's wrong. Cody said it best, never trust veterans who say they want to help the younger guys. They're just in it for themselves. Now Shelton literally begging on his knees for a spot in AEW. 🤣🤣
It’s so good! Dude that super kick looked awesome Sheldon did 98% of that spot and it made HBK look even better than normal! That’s almost impossible HBK being the performer that he is, that says a lot about Benjamin’s work.
That’s HBK’s greatest TV match of all time PPV not included and it was his greatest match in my opinion in his 2nd run. Best PPV match 2nd run was vs Kurt at Mania in my opinion
Shelton's right, he can't take reigns or swerves spot. If he comes in and takes your spot that's not his problem. I think Shelton would be a great asset to any roster.
@mohabalserafe3795 I'd love to see him in TNA. Get him in the main event scene. And him being in TNA with their deal with WWE would mean he could pop up in WWE from time to time too
Max Caster the guy who dressed as a girl and a wannabe thuganomics Cena a guy who talks about scissoring men , stalked MJF is hating off this man Shelton is a great athlete who was in a team with Brock and was trained with Brock this dude has great accolades but what makes me more mad is seeing another black man hating off another black man knowing these wrestling companies make my people: thugs, clowns , jobbers and etc
He was all class until he started about "elevating" people like he is on the Jericho, Bryan Danielson, Copeland, Christian level......... He's got a inflated ego, he's not "Elevating" anyone, not anywhere passed the upper mid-card level anyway, I mean he's a very good wrestler, I like him, alot, but there's a difference between VERY GOOD and GREAT and Shelly isn't GREAT, more often than not he wasn't even "The Guy" in his own tag team.........
This is the guy who went and dress up as a girl in a segment in wwe, had to lower his standards to get a spot in wwe, could’ve said no on that opportunity, now since he’s at a place where he thinks he’s a big fish in a small pond, he thinks people like Shelton Benjamin shouldn’t come to aew cause he’ll take his spot 🤣🤣🤣🤣 laughable!!!!
@@soulessshadow5356how is Caster is fantastic on the mic?do you mean all the crappy rap that he does during his entrance?I can't remember any good promos from Caster.
The fact that this man was let go by the WWE crushes me. First, he should have been placed under Heyman or any spoke person under his first run. Athletically speaking, one of the BEST that ever laced a pair of boots. Personally, I don't know him personally, but looks like a class act. Insane that he wasn't given at least the possibility of staying in the company to help develop or produce behind the scenes.
Until he made the boneheaded "There aren't a lot of Max Caster shirts" He straight up admitted he doesn't watch the product he was wanting to go be a part of.

Sheldon’s saying he’s fine being enhancement talent. He’s done his thing, won his titles, had his runs. He’s fine working programs that put other guys over. Max is really broadcasting his insecurity. I’m not saying he doesn’t have a legitimate overall point; every big wrestling company has had the issue of bringing in outside guys that eclipse their guys - it ain’t just AEW. But you also gotta take it on a wrestler-by-wrestler basis. This ain’t somebody like an Edge coming in and needing to have the top spot for carryover purposes (you don’t bury one company’s big name under your names because that’s a waste of money); this is a guy that’s a solid name but a more solid hand that has proven he can go. Kofi crossing over, maybe worry. Shelton? Nah. Just ride the wave and the money.

Shelton Benjamin can't wait to see you perform wherever you may go I'll definitely be watching. Young talent scare the losing their spot. Sometimes that can elevate.
Shelton is a real one!!! Probably the most underrated wrestler of his era. Massive respect for the guy!!! Im just thinking what he could have been had he left WWE 7 years ago and went to Japan or Europe etc. Shelton in the G1 tournament would be CRAZY!!!

Shelton Benjamin vs HHH on the Raw after Benjamin got drafted is as close to a perfect match as I’ve ever seen. Everything from the in-ring work, to the outside interference, to the commentary, to the crowd response and pop was flawless.
I remember watching that and losing my mind over it! I immediately was a Shelton guy after that. HHH was unbeatable at the moment and the worst. It felt so real in the moment. Great great story telling.
Shelton's been around long enough to know what he does and doesn't bring to the table. He's a very solid performer who may not have been used to his full potential that we as fans see, but with what he was offered and allowed to do, he was very good at it. If Max sees Shelton as a threat to "his" spot, that's on him.

It’s something to think about. A lot of those fans haven’t let go of their hatred for WWE and are using that to indirectly support AEW. Like you said, it’s less about liking the AEW, and more about hating WWE.
@@HereForTheCupcakes might be the only one that thinks this or not afraid to say it. but i love pro wrestling. watch all sorts of companies. think of it like a sport. happy for more wrestlers to get more options to make big money. if one leaves to another place to get success good. page just won the nxt cool. richochet might show up at aew cool. people just need to chill out and stop wishing other companies to be gone. will not be good for business
There's a Benjamin vs Angle match that WWE has up here on YT. It's a classic. It kicked off Raw that night, go watch it! They were in New Hampshire or Delaware or something like that.
Shelton, if you’re seeing this, I was the kid who would bring the Shelton 3:16 sign to OVW shows all those years ago. Thank you for being the humble, yet extremely gifted talent that you were. And being so nice to a young fan, not only at the shows, but also running into you at non wrestling events randomly around town. Shelton was and still is so damn good. In an alternate universe somewhere, Brock doesn’t leave WWE to try and play football. Then while dominating the roster, forms a faction that includes Shelton, one of his closest friends irl. This gives Shelton a mouthpiece in Heyman that makes up for his one and only shortcoming. Eventually the stable would turn on Brock, with Shelton as the new leader for Brock to fued with. This makes Shelton a multi time WWE champion in the process. Many say that Scott Hall was the best wrestler to never win a major world title. Not to take anything away from Hall, but I would put Shelton above him on that list. Did I mention that Shelton was so damn good? 🤔 😂 Seriously, had WWE truly gotten behind him, dude would be the absolute GOAT. 🐐
That mentality, from a “wrestler” whose main talent is rapping, tells you ALL you need to know about AEW. All these different wrestlers making ridiculous public comments…they are NOT single instances. That’s the culture of the company. Real shame WWE had nothing for Shelton, AGAIN, he’s so good. But going to AEW would be so much worse 🤷♂️
When you hear a young guy, talk and an old guy, you instantly realize that maturity comes with age. Not taking things so seriously, working on yourself, and wanting the best for others. Not trying to compete and just focusing on yourself. This all comes with age. And some of the young guys got a lot of growing up to do.
Billy Gunn is the Shawn Michaels of the group. Caster and his little friend are both glorified jobbers. They're lucky to have AEW. Anywhere else and Caster and his friend would be in catering or looking up at the lights.
I understand what you’re saying, but he definitely isn’t Bowens is. Once Castor grows up and stopped, acting like a dumbass. He’ll be the breakout star of the group.
Shelton needs to bring this kind of confidence to his mic game. Keep working out, amateur wrestling training, take some speech classes, and try to have one more attempt at a main event run. Shelton is more than fucking capable of that. I have always envisioned him with a psychotic Michael Jordan gimmick. Also, he needs to design a cool shirt people who like and dont like wrestling wants to wear.
I love Shelton even more now. Need him to take that well deserved time off and hopefully WWE decides to bring him back in a back stage role at the least.
Shelton is an in-ring performer and a storyline writer. during his time in WWF/WWE. if shelton was not injury prone he would still have matches to elevate new talents.
Considering that a lot of the veterans who went to AEW to bring experience and guidance to the roster are leaving, along with the more coachable younger talent going to NXT, Shelton’s probably better off going to TNA.
Shelton is a good mind in the business, wealth of experience. Can wrestle at a high level, help backstage, help train, and has worked with top names in the business for years. Not to mention he has LEGITIMATE credentials. Shelton would be great in AEW. He still looks in better shape than many names AEW has today.
I don’t care what no one said about Shelton Benjamin. He literally had some of the greatest spots in wrestling history, and they look so real and so good.Good , Max could only hope to be an 8th of the performer Shelton Benjamin is
I'm pretty sure that Max was just in character when he said that but... AEW hires everyone and only uses a handful of wrestler's. I have no doubt that a lot of people who have an AEW contract really feel that way.
Whoever this Max Castor dude is...if his catchphrase is Scissor me". Then he needs to come up with a new catchphrase.. I am with Benjamin on that one..😂😂😂
If he's saying this in kayfabe what is he trying to accomplish? His character isn't a heel. And Shelton isn't in the company. So what character work is he trying to accomplish here?
I would take it as a compliment. Max is pretty much saying Shelton is really good and if he showed up in AEW Max would have to work harder to not lose his spot and he don't want that.
A lot of people would love to see Shelton Benjamin get handled in a meaningful way. But he has had a lot of rough gimmicks at this point. His talent shines, but finding the right fit for him is tough.
I like this response. I can see both sides. Like when you get new coworkers and start losing hours, is it their fault? Or are you lacking something that they have?

@@HereForTheCupcakes might be the only one that thinks this or not afraid to say it. but i love pro wrestling. watch all sorts of companies. think of it like a sport. happy for more wrestlers to get more options to make big money. if one leaves to another place to get success good. page just won the nxt cool. richochet might show up at aew cool. people just need to chill out and stop wishing other companies to be gone. will not be good for business
@easter_sunday Tony hates WWE he was always a WCW fan tony looks at WWE as the enemy there's a hatred there that we don't understand
That's total BS.
Never heard of the Max guy but Shelton responding to him is the most clout he’s ever got in his life
most underrated and underutilized wrestler of all time, mos def in my top 10 of all time, should’ve been world champ 8x over🤦🏾♂️
Shelton should be home in the WWE. an absolute shame he never made a major run in his career at a world title
There's a Benjamin vs Angle match that WWE has up here on YT. It's a classic. It kicked off Raw that night, go watch it! They were in New Hampshire or Delaware or something like that.
Happy birthday Shelton!
Chris is Peak interviews bro, he brings in the biggest names in pro wrestling 🤼♂️
This just shows you why the mindset of AEW is all wrong
Ur opinion is wrong
Shelton, if you’re seeing this, I was the kid who would bring the Shelton 3:16 sign to OVW shows all those years ago. Thank you for being the humble, yet extremely gifted talent that you were. And being so nice to a young fan, not only at the shows, but also running into you at non wrestling events randomly around town.
Shelton was and still is so damn good. In an alternate universe somewhere, Brock doesn’t leave WWE to try and play football. Then while dominating the roster, forms a faction that includes Shelton, one of his closest friends irl. This gives Shelton a mouthpiece in Heyman that makes up for his one and only shortcoming. Eventually the stable would turn on Brock, with Shelton as the new leader for Brock to fued with. This makes Shelton a multi time WWE champion in the process.
Many say that Scott Hall was the best wrestler to never win a major world title. Not to take anything away from Hall, but I would put Shelton above him on that list. Did I mention that Shelton was so damn good? 🤔 😂 Seriously, had WWE truly gotten behind him, dude would be the absolute GOAT. 🐐
That mentality, from a “wrestler” whose main talent is rapping, tells you ALL you need to know about AEW. All these different wrestlers making ridiculous public comments…they are NOT single instances. That’s the culture of the company. Real shame WWE had nothing for Shelton, AGAIN, he’s so good. But going to AEW would be so much worse 🤷♂️
Well said. The culture of AEW starts at the top
bootlicker
Well put.
@@scholarisherewwe sucks
Wwe worse ask toni storm she told u everything about wwe
When you hear a young guy, talk and an old guy, you instantly realize that maturity comes with age. Not taking things so seriously, working on yourself, and wanting the best for others. Not trying to compete and just focusing on yourself. This all comes with age. And some of the young guys got a lot of growing up to do.
Caster is the Marty Jannetty
Billy Gunn is the Shawn Michaels of the group. Caster and his little friend are both glorified jobbers. They're lucky to have AEW. Anywhere else and Caster and his friend would be in catering or looking up at the lights.
I understand what you’re saying, but he definitely isn’t Bowens is. Once Castor grows up and stopped, acting like a dumbass. He’ll be the breakout star of the group.
@coltonwilkie241 you an attitude era fanboy?
@@Ahmed-og2jm He basically already said that lmao
@@coltonwilkie241they Cryme Tyme 2.0
Shelton needs to bring this kind of confidence to his mic game. Keep working out, amateur wrestling training, take some speech classes, and try to have one more attempt at a main event run. Shelton is more than fucking capable of that. I have always envisioned him with a psychotic Michael Jordan gimmick.
Also, he needs to design a cool shirt people who like and dont like wrestling wants to wear.
I appreciate Shelton for this response. A true pro.
Shelton one of my favs when he first came in sick talent, he was the ricochet of the ruthless aggression era 👍🏽 team angle like wow what a stud
Caster ain’t even on the same level as Shelton and now that bozo got the nerve to say he’s the “greatest wrester alive”
I love Shelton even more now. Need him to take that well deserved time off and hopefully WWE decides to bring him back in a back stage role at the least.
This aged well
Shelton is an in-ring performer and a storyline writer. during his time in WWF/WWE. if shelton was not injury prone he would still have matches to elevate new talents.
Max sucks. Shelton has been amazing his entire career. Not too difficult to figure out why Max considers him a threat.
Shelton has been the man and is super underrated!!!
Considering that a lot of the veterans who went to AEW to bring experience and guidance to the roster are leaving, along with the more coachable younger talent going to NXT, Shelton’s probably better off going to TNA.
Shelton is a good mind in the business, wealth of experience. Can wrestle at a high level, help backstage, help train, and has worked with top names in the business for years. Not to mention he has LEGITIMATE credentials. Shelton would be great in AEW. He still looks in better shape than many names AEW has today.
Max Caster is only a good rapper. Shelton has years and talent.
has*
good rapper?are you high?
@@Kiddingyoumust💀
the only reason why he got reaction for his rap, it's because he always mention WWE stuff, sexual innuendos and misogyny.
If I can steal it, it wasn't your spot! 💯💯🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Shelton Benjamin is an OVW and WWE legend!! Max Caster is an AEW mid-card jobber want a be lol.
Max is not jobber one of over act in aew u don't watch aew wwe mark
@wweBot-m5z Yeah, I'm the WWE Mark when you're the one that actually has it as your youtube name Karen LOL.
Shelton is top 10 underrated. He reminds me of a good friend who has ALL The tool in the world but is comfortable being modest
Shelton just cooked the shit out of that kid, no promo needed. Now that kid is gonna be crying dropping bars.
I don’t care what no one said about Shelton Benjamin. He literally had some of the greatest spots in wrestling history, and they look so real and so good.Good , Max could only hope to be an 8th of the performer Shelton Benjamin is
"He has a lot of scissor me shirts" 😂 damn Chris is good at what he does
Max Castor isn’t being used much either way 🤷♂️
Hes a primary part of the EVP storyline every week
@@JOBdOut which is going to end at blood and guts
Shelton has always been a class act. Fair play to him. Great response.
He was ahead of his time. If Shelton was starting now in WWE or AEW he would be a multi time world heavyweight champion
Break it down young man right is right and wrong is wrong you are on it on point Shelton Benjamin one of the greatest in I have ever seen
I'm pretty sure that Max was just in character when he said that but... AEW hires everyone and only uses a handful of wrestler's. I have no doubt that a lot of people who have an AEW contract really feel that way.
in character or not, if you are an unknown person, you should not act like that.
im sick of this character excuse, he is not a heel, he's a face
I don’t watch AEW but if Shelton Benjamin is on there I’ll watch his highlights 💯
Whoever this Max Castor dude is...if his catchphrase is Scissor me". Then he needs to come up with a new catchphrase.. I am with Benjamin on that one..😂😂😂
This man said I come from a different generation and scissoring means something different. Lmao absolutely floored me
I think Max Caster was talking in kayfabe.
I see it this way too
The IWC being by gullible as shit is proof kayfabe isn’t dead
He says stuff like that all the time on X to get a rise out of people. Who knows though
If he's saying this in kayfabe what is he trying to accomplish? His character isn't a heel. And Shelton isn't in the company. So what character work is he trying to accomplish here?
If it's kayfabe, it comes off weak as shit. Should've said bring it on, I need more old heads to use as stepping stones
Man, this guy was one of my favorite wrestlers growing up
Caster sounds insane he doesn’t have the clout to hire or fire anyone.
1:57
"MMMMM!"
Exactly. Line was colder than a snow storm in Alaska.
I would take it as a compliment. Max is pretty much saying Shelton is really good and if he showed up in AEW Max would have to work harder to not lose his spot and he don't want that.
I've never seen a single entertaining match with max, but I've seen Shelton put on some absolute bangers
A lot of people would love to see Shelton Benjamin get handled in a meaningful way. But he has had a lot of rough gimmicks at this point. His talent shines, but finding the right fit for him is tough.
Shelton Benjamin is still in excellent shape
Max crying rn
I like this response. I can see both sides. Like when you get new coworkers and start losing hours, is it their fault? Or are you lacking something that they have?
Benjamin and Haas would really shake up things in AEW's tagteam division! 💯LFG!
Who?
World's Greatest Tag Team.
@soshiderek I ment the other guy not Shelton
Lol! Charlie Haas, vital member of Team Angle and World's Greatest.
@soshiderek no dude the other guy caster I didn't mean to reply to this guy
