britwresevo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Shelton Benjamin in WWE. Pretty much guaranteed to have a good match with whoever you put him against, and his match vs. HBK in 2005 was an instant classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted February 16, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 16, 2015 Lawler vs Miz exposed how big the gulf in talent is between the territory and post-territory wrestlers. A barely mobile Lawler pulled Miz to one of the best matches of the past 15 years.  I don't think you can compare Lawler to most people. He's barely mobile now but he's wrestling pretty much the exact same speed and style he did when he was in his prime. Lawler has always been able to have a great match with a broomstick while doing very little, very few are on his level. I don't think it's a case of territory vs post-territory, he's one of the all time greats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to have anyone different in that mid-card. probably be fed up of him in 6 weeks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cena, Michaels, HHH, Undertaker.  Try all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was suggesting that those four could have made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
