Has Shelton had an 8 minute singles match over the past few years? You can't compare them over the last few years as Jeff has been constantly pushed whereas Shelton is endlessly jobbed. I think he did have ONE, which was, ironically enough, against Jeff Hardy
Shelton/HBK was ****1/2 in my books, that wasn't a long match at all and the workrate was amazing. People constantly rate HBK matches highly, despite the exact same formula for the match. HBK/Shelton didn't follow this formula and was just a great exhibition of athleticism, wrestling, psychology, story-telling and entertainment into one 12-minute match from memory.
Its funny, when Shelton was a more credible performer this match was rated a lot higher. Now that Shelton has been jobbed out this match rating has gone down. I advise everyone to re-watch this match, its a lot better than the cookie-cutter matches HBK has had with the likes of Hardy and Batista.
