I think we all recognise that that there are many young up and coming wrestlers to secure the wwe's future but I think it would be prudent to give the veterans one last run with either the wwe or whc title. Triple H, Big show, Kane & Rey should at least have one more run and Christian should at least get a couple. it would also mean that super Cena and Super orton would have to stand aside from time to time . both of these will get many more title runs.Discuss
 
I don't know about a title run per say, but I would love to see some of the vets come in and work a storyline with a younger guy to establish credability. Triple H would make for a good program for The Miz or Alberto Del Rio on Raw and I think maybe a Taker/Sheamus or Taker/Cody Rhodes on Smack Down. If you look at it Orton really got over in his fueds with Mick Foley and Triple H and Cena's was with Taker, Angle and JBL. Even Batista had Triple H and Eddie kind of get him over before he really became one of the top guys. I know a lot of people talk mess about Triple H, but the guy really has taken guys and got the most out of them.
 
Maybe, but I'd like to see a feud that ultimately put these guys over. Out of the ones you mentioned.. I'd only pick Show and MAYBE Kane.. I've seen Trips have the belt too long.

"Veterans" i'd like to see with some kind of title, not necessarily the WHC, would only be a few. Though, I'd be okay with seeing feuds that brought younger guys over.

I'd love to see:

Golddust come back and use his mind games to try to win the IC belt. Dust was known as one of the best IC champions as well as one of the best psychological competitors. I'd atleast like to see a small program of him trying to re live his glory. He is a great character.. I know he is injured though.

Christian- obvious reasoning.

Mark Henry- He has been in WWE for ages, and he isn't too bad on the stick. I haven't seen him in a feud in a while, so I enjoy this small push.

I wouldn't want to see another HHH run, though I'd like to see him build up someone like Del Rio in a feud.
 
The WWE isn't going to leave there two biggest draws on the bench (Orton and Cena). Trips is to busy for a title run right now but I'm sure we haven't seen his last championship reign. I'm sure Show and Christian will get another run in the future. Rey, in my opinion is a midcard talent in the WWE. The crowd does not pop for him like they used to and its almost impossible to turn him heel. Very one dimensional to me I guess. Mark Henry is in line for a final push of sorts judging but the ending of SD!. He deserves it. Guy has been around forever and has never left the company. Before winning the ECW Championship, the European Title was the last singles belt Henry held. That's saying something.

Kane deserves a heel turn and a run at the belt before he finishes up. I'm sure he will get it, another guy who has stayed loyal to Vince.
 
A run doesn't always have to include the title. A mean, Ric Flair with his retirement run was better than a lot of old timers getting the belt simply for the sake of getting the belt.

It just depends on whether or not the company as a whole benefits. At the end of the day, you still have to be able to deliver. I wouldn't mind Rey or Christian getting the title. So long as it makes sense. Right now, Rey with the title would be a bit strange and out of place. He'd have to take it from a face and a face that made a promise to keep it until next years WrestleMania. So, for him to beat Cena and win the championship would be a bit strange.

Christian does make more sense, but he will probably get the chance if his angles with Orton continue, which I hope takes shape.

Some guys are just working to build the company and get some retirement money. A title run doesn't do anything for the company and they don't need it.
 
I think some of the veteran talent will have more runs on top, but I dont think they should just because they are finishing up soon. It has to make sense with the product.

Christian is not a concern of mine, he is in a good spot right now and has just turned heel, opening up several new possiblities for feuds and I am pretty sure that the CLB will have at least one more title run. I reckon Vince's views on him are changing and he can see that Christian is worth his ME spot.

Mysterio is a guy I hope does not get another world title reign, but I would not be shocked at all if he does. Kids still love him, he is a money making machine in merchandise and he is always over. I fully expect him to have the gold once again before he calls it a day.

Big Show is way past his prime now and seems to be out of the main event scene now. However, with his size he is always someone who could get back in the title mix pretty easily, so it is a possiblity he will be given another reign. I think its less likely than Rey though.


I dont think Kane will get another title run. I have a feeling his run last year was his "thank you" from management. I would be all for a heel Kane run on top though, and with the mask! I know it won't happen, but for personal nostalgia and MTFO moments, I would love to see masked Kane again, and he could go out the way he came in, as a masked monster.
If Jericho comes back he will almost certainly have at least 1 more reign. He is always going to be in the mix.

But the one I am almost 100% sure that will have another run on top is HHH. I fully expected him to beat Flairs 16 world titles when he was dominating a few years ago but age, injuries and other WWE roles have taken him out of the picture in the last couple of years. However, he is still one of the biggest names that the company has, can still go in the ring, and I truly hope we see The Game back on top, even for a short run before he retires. I think we will, I would be shocked if Vince does not give his son-in-law at least 1 more title reign. They dont seem to be as important to HHH as they once were, he seems to be happy in his role now but he certainly deserves it. He is one of the all time greats.

To the people who are suggesting Mark Henry? Are you mad? He may have become slightly more relevant, but he is not and never will be championship material. Yes, he has been with the company a long time but he has never been a draw, never had a great feud and would put on some of the worst title matches of all time. I could perhaps stomach a Henry mid-card title reign, and didnt mind his ECW run, but as a world champion? Hell no
 
I don't think (nor I want to) that Undertaker or Rey Mysterio will be getting another title run. I don't expect Undertaker to be active enough to get a title, and I expect Rey to stay more around Upper-Midcard with a few moments of Main Event, not a champion (#1 Contender a few times, perhaps).

Triple H, Big Show and Kane are fair possibilities, I believe, though I wouldn't like Big Show as champion. And, if Triple H is to win the belt, I want him to retire with it, to go out as a Champion, like Edge did recently (and just as suddenly perhaps, but without the health problems, of course).
 
I agree that Christian needs a serious run, the man is the main heel on a brand and that would really add to his credibility.

I would like to see Triple H get a short run. The man was always a great champion and I think his matches are severly underrated. Getting him to ued with a Cody Rhodes or a Drew Mcintyre would be great, though I would love a Hunter/Punk feud for the title.
 
The day William Regal is given a good, possible Championship holding run will be the day I cry tears of joy and send WWE Corporate a letter of resounding praise and thanks.
 
I think Triple H should definatley be given atleast one if not more World Title Runs. He is experienced and has still got the ability to carry a brand. I think he definatley should be given more title runs to equal Ric Flair's world title record. As for Rey Mysterio I don't think so. Possibly Kane and Undertaker could be given title runs for their final send offs.
