[@TimLoyalToWifeHaterFreeZoneA]

Lol I Was Thinking Now Talk About His Momma CVVCLIPS Bro.

[@TimLoyalToWifeHaterFreeZoneA]

Now His Momma Should Induct Him Into The Hall Of Fame Jk Lol.

[@theharv1490]

[@jonrosado1035]

Thea Vidale was so much fun as Shelton's momma. A legit funny actress and stand up comic.

[@theharv1490]

Sheltun Benjamin 😂

[@dellowery]

This was a gut punch. I remember watching Thea Vidale on VHS when Tim Allen and Chris Rock was up and coming. I remember the segments briefly of her and Shelton. NEVER DID I COMPUTE UNTIL TODAY THAT WAS HER!

[@willieholmes1483]

She had her own sitcom on ABC. Singer Brandy Norwood played her daughter.

[@reggiewolfpac]

Right I used to watch that & when I saw her as Shelton's momma I knew exactly who that was.

[@TBLPW]

ABC did Thea dirty, her show was amazing and deserved to last longer.

[@TjThomas87]

Hell yeah it did

[@datboiderrty]

The segment with Val Venus and momma was hilarious

[@theharv1490]

Momma Benjamin was so funny 😂

[@bootsthecat6718]

Too bad we never got the Mama Cornette/Bagwell/Benjamin triple threat match

[@huffy6192]

His mama was the reason why he turned heel lol

[@ftsedarvez]

They did to Shelton Benjamin's momma what they did to Kofi Kingston's accent! Took it away out of the blue! 😭😭

[@tonyfarinella]

This story is bigger than Cody’s. FINISH THE STORY!!!

[@ST1TCH916]

This reigns even harder now given how it seems like thats never ending too

[@kcole3937]

Damn only 8 weeks She was on New Year’s Revolution and Royal Rumble in 06 in hilarious backstage segments

[@brown_recidivist]

"Shelton Benjamin you may not realize this but you're an African American" lol

[@Immortalangel14]

*Confused Shelton looks at his skin for confirmation*

[@Y0utubeIsFuckingHomo]

That's insane

[@shawn4585]

Do u realize that all words are made up so is color

[@flyguy7825]

Yeah, the equivalent of John Cena saying the same thing with Booker T. I always hated that some stereotypical b******* right there

[@Ozzable1]

​@@flyguy7825public opinion doesn't matter as long as Vince thinks it's funny

[@rickytr3y]

As a kid, I recognized Thea immediately from other tv shows and it took me out of the story cause I knew she wasn't really his mom

[@reggiewolfpac]

Right I used to watch her show when Brandy played her daughter when I saw her as Shelton's momma I was like that's Thea.

[@andrewbristow2817]

Wait it was 8 weeks??? Woah! I honestly didn’t remember that

[@thomasmuller1425]

Shelton Benjamin willing to sacrifice his wrestling career to protect his momma. What a guy.

[@DoneRandomLee]

Okay I was shocked hearing the story never finished because I think my child mind filled in the blanks. Because I remembered that no one ever hit mama and at most grabbed her arms but I thought to write her off they had someone attack her and that caused Shelton to fight back with the person for months. And the reason she never returned was it now was clear that it wasn't safe for her. But knowing WWE yeah I can see them changing the story a week after and just ignoring it.

[@louisbatchelor5546]

I remember popping for Thea when I saw her because I loved her TV show!

[@life0093]

Vince probably watched a campbell’s soup commercial

[@sergionancy9581]

One of the funniest times 😂man I loved it

[@SoleEpiphany]

I didn’t realize who she was at the time, her standup is savage🤣

[@RustBunny]

Considering some of the truly awful stories that are allowed to come to a conclusion (not just WWE, mind you), it's unfortunate that Shelton and his Momma ended just like that. Granted, there are other factors to consider, so such an abrupt end to the angle is understandable.

[@raveoreynolds6049]

I think it would have been a good starting storyline for a new call-up. But considering the heights Benjamin had already reached in his career, it was undoubtedly a step down.

[@sonofabiscuiteatingbulldog]

I think ol Shelty B would beat some serious ass if anybody legit pissed him off

[@liquidsnake6879]

shelton was in the NCAA, he's legit, plus he's friends with Brock Lesnar so yeah lol nobody messes with Shelton

[@Yvanehtnioj2000]

Vince saw Big Mommas House one weekend and thought it was funny. That’s how. lol. I even remember Eugene calling her that.

[@baldmadmac]

I know it was to look bad I know it's silly but I loved the Mama Benjamin thing. Like man you get to have mom rally your fans and cheer for you

[@TheBlackKakashi]

I don’t remember much but I loved Momma Benjamin 😂

[@BabyMaharaja0]

that was my favorite version of Shelton Benjamin

[@platinumjoseph]

Shelton was the original cody and brodus clay

[@stonedViking304]

Y’all know Shelton goin go home after this n his momma goin whip his ass “Son Damnitt I coulda been a WWE DIVA! I gave birth to ya ass and ya wouldn’t let me come to work with you!!” Shelton def gettin grounded now 😅😂

[@markula_4040]

I'm with Shelton. The momma storyline does get a bad rap. I rather enjoyed it. Yes, he wasn't going to reach the main event with it but it could have eventually led to being a pretty over babyface where they could ease his momma off TV while he ascended to higher on the card. It just didn't work out for whatever reason.

[@DukeDarkshadow]

Wait a sec.....that angle ONLY lasted eight weeks? It sure as heck felt like it was longer than that!

[@WolfEffectzz]

it was so memorable part of the RA era

[@DanielATG215]

We want mama back

[@SeanOMatic]

Thea is still around, it'd be cool if they brought back Mama Benjamin one more time.

[@RickyBobby20413]

So funny! Mama Benjamin surprised by Eugene.

[@whyphy2213]

After seeing the Nickelodeon show, Victorious, I think the person who played Andre Grandma should have played Shelton’s Mother. It would have been hilarious

[@BigGucciAli]

😂😂😂😂

[@liublanka3925]

The only Shelton storyline I ever gave 2 shits about. It was hilarious

[@Jerry-el6mq]

Early reports say Shelton was given a momma as punishment for showing disrespect to one of WWE’s veteran road agents.

[@alexanderthegreat5649]

What's weird is they seemingly cut the finish and proceeded to make him what the result was gonna be anyway! That PrimeTime Deion Sanders bit could've worked had they finished. He said he was going to get his manhood back basically and stand on his own 2 feet. Well that can smoothly transition into him going overboard the opposite of mama's boy and being *overconfident*

[@cactusjack2264]

Crazy how that whole mama’s boy angle only lasted 2 months…

[@MrOx-sf6em]

Of Course it was Vince idea 😑

[@C-Lyfe85]

That's The Stereotype they love. A brother who's a man-child, who needs his mother's approval, for everything.

[@dmensah6631]

​@@C-Lyfe85 facts smh

[@OneSideofFries]

I remember it not lasting long but I thought it was longer than 8 weeks lol.

[@terrypi4758]

Yea him and Thea were great !

[@DoctorApotheosis]

My friends and I used to compare Shelton Benjamin's momma to The Undertaker's Urn.

[@tipicofutbal]

The mama's boy gimmick would have made it in this modern era.

[@jwilliamcosby]

Thea is his mom??? Whaaaat?? So cool!! ❤

[@tankenbrian]

Storyline

[@jwilliamcosby]

@@tankenbrian Oh! The way he worded, I totally misunderstood. Ha! Thanks for clarifying. 😄

[@templeos2954]

That gimmick was really funny

[@flyguy7825]

I think they personally did him dirty with the whole mama. Gimmick because you could just kind of tell something about it just wasn't working and I know the actress he was talking about. She was a good comedian but all in all it just didn't fit him. But I agree they didn't finish that story but it just was. How should I put this stereotypical black mother and that just wasn't going to get him over. They should have just putting with a nice sexy valet

[@stevengrvp]

It was good times

[@quarantinebored1427]

Was it silly? Of course!!! But it was funny and it gave Shelton a mouth piece. From a character standpoint, he was a mamas boy but was able to bring it when it came to wrestling. Wish they didn’t drop the storyline.

[@ShuckyDucky09]

I would've guessed it was Vince Mcmahons idea....

[@yurielcundangan9090]

Mama Mia here we go again is great🎉

[@wa2k99]

No black guy turns on his mama lol

[@ryanwaslawski6088]

I would like the Minnesota wrecking crew to win the tag belts before both guys retire. Shelton has been one of the most wasted talents in wrestling history.

[@justzobailey6393]

Ohhh so that was Thea!? Damn lol

[@kevin084life]

4:58

[@NathanDewey11]

I thought it was fun at the time, but there's no question it would've eventually devolved into something really really stupid - like Mae Young stupid.

[@zombiewarrior88]

Or worse - incest storyline.

[@TheMitch92]

Yeah wow it felt like it lasted way longer than 8 weeks

[@johnnyappleseed8127]

Deon Sanders basically was a black Shawn Michaels. So they wanted him to be a black Shawn Michaels.

[@CarterPresentsComics]

That whole gimmick with Shelton made me completely uninterested in whatever else he did after. Gold Standard, Hurt Business, I always thought about his "mama" and changed the channel from the cringe.

[@dmensah6631]

Yeah it just felt like a forced comedy input

[@walkinphoenix45]

Wonder why his Momma was fired…🤔

[@rj6thstreet]

I remember when she gave Carlito a shot in the butt during a match

[@CyberFox232]

I always thought it was inspired by the movie Big Momma's House. I think Eugene made a joke about it.

[@100Stratusfiedx]

This was an odd storyline and I didn’t get it.

[@DuskJoker]

Yeah, because It was Vince's idea.

[@Rico-yx9tn]

@@DuskJoker Vince had some great ideas but also some horrible ones that should be forgotten lol

[@cjjonez]

I hated that run

[@alexanderromero293]

Of course that was all Vince that man just doesn’t know where to draw the line so out of touch

[@raveoreynolds6049]

Of course you ignore the part where Shelton said he loved the storyline and had fun doing it.

[@bpaige12]

I Did not like the mammy character. Shelton was too talented to play a comedy role

[@jt9172]

Racist af.....

[@VirgilZandig]

God bless Shelton, but for a pro wrestler, he's a very bland speaker.

[@saltybastardgaming5603]

the biggest reason i think he didnt get pushed better. he just wasnt great on the mic

[@datboiderrty]

The segment with Val Venus and momma was hilarious
