"Ex-excuse me, uh, Mr. Benjamin, sir, um, my friends on the Internet think, uh, we think you should be an arrogant loudmouthed athlete, er, you know, in the style of black wide receivers."
To borrow a page from Steinbrenner, maybe Benjamin can go reclusive when under fire and just have his agent, some sorta Eisenberg or something, read press releases. Just another way to mask the fact that Shelton's not the best at reading from scripts. Just have someone actually read a script. Make no bones about it.

Have him throw various tag team members under the bus for not being able to keep up with him. Of course, he should talk a lot, but leave some words for his agent.

Learn to comprehend with this board's clientele. The Internet is a pedantic place, and you've just entered its deepest darkest corner. Hey, now we know who you are. (That itself was a reference to board-darling Arrested Development, when the guy calls George Michael "Stardork.")
EDIT: No sooner than hitting "post" do I realize it should be "learn to comprehend this board's clientele," no "with." I wasn't kidding.
