** TookALevelInJerkass: This is what caused the end of his friendship with Lillian Garcia and his (onscreen) relationship with Jackie Gayda in WWE. Lillian had said she wanted to be {{just friends}}, so he laughed and congratulated his till then romantic rival Viscera when he accidentally smacked her. Dawn Marie was trying to ruin his relationship with Jackie and it apparently worked [[GoneHorriblyRight as he took it upon himself to let them both down hard and in tears]].

Shelton, for his noted lack of charisma on the mic, could tell you a whole lot just from a look and some raised shoulders while wrestling in the ring.

to:

* MommasBoy: [[NotNowKiddo Initially, Shelton's mother was shown to be about as nice a parent as you could ask for in the video vintages that played on Raw during Shelton's face turn. But then Shelton's winning streak ended, then his losing streak began, and then he turned on the fans and did all sorts of cocky and totally radical things [[{{Tweener}} that failed to get fans to truly turn on him]]. Rather than give up, the WWE decided to reintroduce Shelton's mother, [[ThreeMonthRule who seemed to have let herself go]] and was anything but a kind parent and made Shelton totally incapable of arguing with her.

''' The World's Greatest Tag Team''' is a professional wrestling tag team consisting of Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas. The duo debuted near the end of 2002 in ''[[Wrestling/{{WWE}} World Wrestling Entertainment]]'' as part of KurtAngle's new faction, Team Angle. After they broke ranks with Angle and started feuding with him, they adopted the "World's Greatest Tag Team" name. Both sharing amateur wrestling backgrounds, the duo proved to be highly successful performers in the ring. More impressively, they debuted during a period where popular tag teams such as {{Edge}} & {{Christian}} and The Hardy Boyz were no longer together, so TWGTT helped to fill the void in the tag team scene. Unfortunately, the duo split up in 2004 after Benjamin was traded to the Raw brand. [[BreakupBreakout While Benjamin went on to have a relatively successful singles career]], Haas was lost in the shuffle and was briefly released in 2005 before returning to the company the following year. In 2006, the duo re-formed their tag team before they were eventually split up ''again.'' The two were both released from their contracts in 2010. They both found their way to RingOfHonor and competed there for 3 years. Benjamin left for Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling at the very end of 2012; Haas stayed in Ring of Honor until March 2013, when he quit in what so far appears to have been a legitimate shoot, disbanding the team.

'''[[TheWorldsGreatestTagTeam The]] ([[BadassBoast Self-Proclaimed]]) [[TheWorldsGreatestTagTeam World's Greatest Tag Team]]''' is a professional wrestling tag team consisting of Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas. The Duo debuted near the end of 2002 in ''WorldWrestlingEntertainment'' as part of KurtAngle's new faction, Team Angle. Both sharing amateur wrestling backgrounds, the duo proved to be a highly successful performers in the ring. More impressively, they debuted during a period where popular tag teams such as {{Edge}} & {{Christian}} and The Hardy Boyz were no longer together, so TWGTT helped to fill the void in the tag team scene. Unfortunately, the duo split up in 2004 after Benjamin was traded to the Raw brand. [[BreakupBreakout While Benjamin would go on to have a relatively successful singles career]], Haas was lost in the shuffle in was briefly released in 2005 before returning to the company the following year. In 2006, the duo reformed their tag team again before they were eventually split up, ''again.'' The two were both released from their contracts in 2010, and can both be found tag teaming once more, in ''RingOfHonor.''
