ha, you realize that for undertaker to add the IC and US champ belts under his profile he has to be there (no offence taker i watched the match and you were fantastic). i think that takers streak kinda make up for those 2 titles so i dunno, plus taker is bigger then those 2 champ belts (no offence gainst the us and ic belts).
Should The Undertaker chase more titles?

I don't think the Undertaker should make another title run. He doesn't need it added to his legacy. The streak, previous title wins and amazing matches speak for themselves. There are other superstars that should get a title run before the Undertaker.
Besides, with Undertaker being injured so often, it's risky to put the belt on him. It screws up creative and future matches people look forward too. A few matches a year are all he should be involved in.

As a lot of others have said, I don't think putting those titles on the Undertaker adds anything to his legacy since recently the belts don't mean much. Plus, if he went into WM not 100 percent who knows if he'll ever be 100 percent again and those are belts that need to be defended on a regular basis in my opinion to give them meaning.
If anything, if they want to try to build up the belts I'd leave them on Barrett and Sheamus and let them run with them for a while to see what happens. After a while, perhaps run a storyline as one (or both) of them are young guys looking to prove themselves and have them start calling out the bigger names of the company to show that they should be considered with those guys with the Undertaker being one of the people involved.

Besides, to make a run as IC or any other champ, he would have to return. Like, really return and have a couple of matches.
I don't see that happening. I think Taker is semi-retired and we won't see him wrestle again until next year's Mania.

The point of a title is to either add marketability to a match or to build a wrestler. Undertaker doesn't need any more credibility and he already makes a match more marketable.
think about it like this. An Undertaker match probably draws just as many people as a title match on most PPVs and probably more at most Manias.
you have Taker in a title match and that limits the marketability of your card. If you have a Taker "attraction" match, which is what Kurt Angle thought he and undertaker were in the WWE, then you have more drawing points.
Taker vs Wrestler X
Wrestler Y vs Wrestler Z for the World title
that's better than if you had all your eggs in one basket so to speak.

Absolutely not. Undertaker will remain over forever. The titles help establish credibility for someone, whether that be as a midcarder holding the IC or US titles, or in the main event as WWE or World Champion. Undertaker is probably going to retire soon, he does not need "one last run" with the belt, he got a long run back in 2009-2010 that lasted over 100 days. Besides, they should be pushing new guys into the championship scene because Undertaker might not be around for much longer, thus he does not need any more titles.
Nope. The only time he really hass to carry a belt is when Vince NEEDS a World Champion. 'Taker is a legend, he doesn't need it. He transcends belts. The fans love him regardless, he always stays in the main event, he doesn't fall out of it, so there's no need for him to carry a belt to elevate himself. He could take a belt and drop it to a guy to put the other guy over, that's for sure, but 'Taker never needs the belt for his own personal gain. At this point, he's not around enough to carry the belt, either.
