So in Professional Wrestling or matter fact ANY kind of athletics people always say, "If your goal isn't to be the best then you shouldn't be here." In Professional Wrestling winning the World Championship is the highest honor that you ca have. It shows that the company is really appreciating your work. It shows that you can draw and fill seats. It shows that you are the biggest merchandise seller. It shows that you are the most popular. It shows that you are the top performer in the company. Winning the World Championship simply shows that you are without a doubt the top dog in the company. And we have seen some of the very best hold that title from; Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Triple H, Ric Flair, and much more. These guys without a doubt have revolutionized the Professional Wrestling industry and some have held the World Championship on multiple occasions. The Rock is a seven time World Champion, Triple H is a thirteen time World Champion, Ric Flair is a sixteen time World Champion. Edge is a eleven time World Champion. John Cena is a nine time World Champion and the list goes on and on.
I was talking to my friend today and he said to me something quoted by Triple H, "There comes a time in your career where winning the World Championship isn't important anymore. You had your shot. You had your time in the spotlight. You were the top guy. You were champion. It is time to move on." not word from word, but something along those lines. So the question here is do you believe that there is ANYBODY that doesn't need any more use of the title World Champion? Or do you think there is anybody above the World Championship?
I will be honest there are a few guys in my opinion; Undertaker doesn't need a World Championship to be recognized as one of the greats. He had his shot in the spotlight and can go on solidly without holding the World title and continue his legendary career. John Cena he is a 9x World Champion and during the Summer of 2010 he was kept out of the World Championship picture and he was still Main Eventing shows/PPVs. John Cena doesn't really need the World Championship to stay relevant. He can feud with some big names or be involved in a BIG storyline and will still sell out arenas. Randy Orton The guy is 30 years old and at one point in 2010 was the top guy in the company. Randy Orton held the World Championship seven times and like John Cena he can be involved in a top storyline and continue to stay relevant in his career. He doesn't need the World Championship at all. Besides Randy Orton is better on the chase then actually holding the title.
I have always been against holding the title multiple times in a row especially back to back. I think you really know when your time is up with being World Champion when there isn't a buzz anymore when you win. So what do you think? I think another honorable mention would be Edge, but in my opinion he needs the World Championship to stay relevant. So let me hear what you have to say.
