And swaggy, discussing the racism in wwe is a whole new thread entirely. Haha.

But I will say
There is a reason that (despite very similar backgrounds before wwe and coming in at the same time) Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin aren't held in the same regard.


Nothing against Brock Lesnar (dudes a legit badass), but after taking his ball and going home after WM 20, a failed football career, a somewhat successful UFC career before his health problems, and now gets paid MILLIONS of dollars for a handful of appearance per year for wwe. He beat The Undertaker's streak and will probably win the wwe title at Summerslam. And this is the same guy who walked out on the company 10 years earlier.


Now look at Shelton Benjamin.

Wasn't as big (or as white) as Lesnar so they put him in a tag team with Charlie Haas. They made it work and got over. He stayed loyal to wwe, despite some terrible gimmicks along the way. Had excellent matches with Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, etc. He worked his ass off, honed his craft, and became one of the best performers in the company. You think they would give this guy the same treatment as they gave Lesnar years earlier right?

Wrong. He was released in 2010 for no real reason whatsoever.


Not only does that say something about their racism, but also the lack of loyalty wwe has to the people who stick by them.


I wholeheartedly believe that if Shelton Benjamin was white he would be in the main event scene along with John Cena, Randy Orton, and Daniel Bryan.


See WWE wants to pretend racism doesn't exist in the company, the problem with that is history isn't exactly on their side.


That ended up being longer than I thought it would be, I'm sorry.
