Shelton Benjamin

Jun 02, 2013
Published in WWE Future Candidates
Shelton Benjamin
The WWE was often criticized for not utilizing the skills of Shelton Benjamin to greater use, as he was easily amongst the greatest athletes the organization ever had. We are still hoping to see the Gold Standard return to the WWE, but if he does, we can only hope to see him used in a better role. If he never does return, did he do enough to be considered a serious WWE Hall of Fame contender? It looks bleak at the moment.

Sheamus

Sheamus
The (very) pale Irishman became the first of his countrymen to become a World Champion and a major draw in the WWE. Although we can criticize his character for inconsistencies on camera, we have no doubt that he will pushed at or near the top for a while to come. That in itself should make Sheamus a serious WWE Hall of Fame candidate when his career eventually winds down.

While Shane McMahon did not become the heir apparent to the WWE empire, his contributions behind the scenes and on camera can never be discounted.

Randy Orton

Randy Orton
It stands to reason that the son of WWE Hall of Famer, “Cowboy” Bob Orton, should be able to follow his path into the Hall. A multi-time champion and all around capable competitor, Randy Orton’s only block would be his own doing, as his temperament and Wellness Policy strikes have put the Viper in a land of limbo when he should be in his prime.
