3. Shelton Benjamin
The college roommate of Brock Lesnar, Shelton Benjamin is one of the greatest athletes to ever step foot in a WWE ring, yet he never quite made it to the big time. Despite putting on impressive performance after impressive performance, Shelton Benjamin just couldn't get over with the casual fan. Benjamin always had trouble on the microphone, but he wasn't helped by a series of bad gimmicks that made him look like an embarrassment. Benjamin was most at home in the Money in the Bank matches and would frequently be at the centre of huge spots that only a few men could pull off. Starting off as part of Team Angle with Charlie Haas, Benjamin eventually developed his skills and had the talent and ring awareness to go against the top level stars, but no matter how great he was, WWE wouldn't send him to the top. Great matches against the likes of Rob Van Dam, Christian and Shawn Michaels would endear him to the hardcore fans of wrestling but it was no good, and after an eight year run, he was eventually let go, disappointing the internet in one simple move. His match against Shawn Michaels on Raw was one of the matches of the year and one of the greatest in the Monday night show's long and storied history, but he just couldn't work an audience. The memories of the unbelievable high spots and classic memories will stay forever, but it should have been more.
