I am a big fan of 'the weird' and 'the bizarre' when there is a point to the same. Bray Wyatt's 'Firefly Fun House' segments are a great example of using the bizarre in a constructive sense. I can see no future for Shelton Benjamin's gimmick because it is just beneath him to do what he's being asked to.
Firstly, why is he being asked about the rest of the SmackDown roster? It really doesn't make any sense because this is not the case with almost anyone else. They are asked about their own programs.
I'm guessing that they want to turn Shelton Benjamin into a GIF so that he gets over with a younger crowd, over the long haul. I'm guessing that a few quality matches where the legendary superstar can showcase his skills will also do the trick in this very regard.
