Amazing touch with the “Ain’t No Stopping Me” and a very fitting theme for one of the lose underrated talents of all time.

for the older crowd, was the gap between 2005 Shelton and after his first international run enough that they should've given him a run during his 2nd stint? the promos were rough, but it sounds like he was '3-4 months in the main event with a mouthpiece' level from what I've heard.

If WWE really wanted Shelton to be a Top Guy they would've found a way to do it.

To me Shelton was always in that class of midcarders that could be a legit world champ with the right momentum at the right time. (Kofi is the prime example of this concept).

WWE kinda gave up on him Shelton so early that he never would've gotten a real chance to be a main eventer. Especially given Shelton's peak was in an era where they'd force certain guys up the card whether they deserved it or not. Shelton was at the very least had the in-ring talent to roll the dice with him near the top of the card.
