Should Undertaker have the title around him?

[Fuel The Fire]

Ok So I was watching CSR, and there was a segment about weather the undertaker should hold the title or not. So I wanted to bring it to the forums and see what kind of discussion would be brought up about it and see if people agreed with them or not. They are saying with the Undertaker getting up their in age and his body slowing wearing down on him, should he hold the title again?

What they said was yes, they should give him the strap because it would give a good rub to someone else saying that the beat the undertaker for the title and it would elevate them more.

I agree with them to an extent. If the undertaker keeps doing this every time he returns then I won't like it because then it become predictable. The Undertaker also doesn't need the title to elevate someone. Sure the title would give that person an extra boost but its not necessary.

So what do you guys think. Should the Undertaker be world champ again?

 

[Ferbian]

The fact that they said yes to it, and giving that reason can easily turn it into a no. Because we can easily make Undertaker feud with the champion, as well as feud with some of the people ready to step up to become champion, and still beat him. Bragging about that would function just as well.

However I don't see the need for Undertaker to get the belt, he's a draw either way, not a bigger draw because of the championship. If that was the case, Rey Mysterio would've been a multiple times world champion rather than a 2 times world champion.

Undertaker doesn't need the belt, Smackdown can thrive without him as world champion, just as well as Undertaker's career thrives just fine without another championship.

So I would say, no, we don't need to put the championship around Undertaker's waist.

I think everyone can safely say that Undertaker is perfect without the belt.Hell i look at him and when I do I just dont see the need for him to have the belt.He stands out without it,he has a very good feud without it, he just doesnt need it and at his age and his 20+ years in the business the belt i would say looks awkward on him , in the sense that ure kinda use to it and u know hes a fucking badass who can beat anyone and all he needs is himself to put somebody over.

But if the creative team thinks its a good idea for him to wear it, as long as it has a relevance i guess for me as a viewer its ok.So....answer is Nope.

Why does Undertaker EVER need the belt? Regardless of him being champ or not, he will always be the most popular wrestler on Smackdown. The belt cannot elevate him any more than he already has been. Giving the belt to Taker would be a meaningless gesture, beyond simply "padding his stats". Give it to someone who it will help instead.

 

[I_Am_Electro_Boy]

I don't think he does either for the reason that he doesn't need it and it gives others the chance to win it because if Taker doesn't have the belt that means there will be two less people in the title picture because a main eventer will probably feud with him. This means two more people can be pushed into the title picture which means two more people will be main eventers which means they're more people for people like Taker to pass the tourch onto.

Even if Taker doesn't feud with a main eventer he can still push a guy without the title because he's a legend. So I think it's pretty clear that he doesn't need the title, and WWE might benefit from not having him in the title picture.

No. The sd belt should stick to the waist of the new blood of the wwe

 

[The Crock]

No, Undertaker should not get the belt when he returns. He is already a big name who has done everything in the business, he doesn't need the rub. It's best if the title sticks with somebody who needs it. It gets very predictable as well, "Oh, Undertaker's back, he's in a title match this Sunday... oh he won.", it happens the same way every time. I'd like it much more if he didn't get the belt the second he came back, in my eyes it kills the division and makes the show boring.

 

[Zigglerfan227]

He doesn't NEED the belt, but if he happened to win it he could put over a younger wrestler who may not have ever held a world title. He could even let Jack Swagger win teh belt from him so Swagger will look good again.

So yeah, Undertaker doesn't NEED the belt, but it would kind of be cool if he won it again to help put over newer talent and to have held it one last time before his retirement.

 

[Tha Wolfpac]

Undertaker is credible and is a huge draw with or without a title on his legendary waist. Im all for an Undertaker because i do believe it gives who ever eventually does beat him a major rub, and it's an accolade in itself. But with Undertaker's string of niggling injuries him holding a title just isnt so trustworthy because of all the greatness he has put his body through.

 

[LongLiveTheStreak]

As much as I like The Undertaker, I'm going to say no he shouldnt have the title. He had his one last title reign last year- into "Elimination Chamber". Which was a pretty solid title reign I thought, and The Phenom always needed that. Four months is a good title reign by today's standards.

But at the same time I will still be happy for Taker if he wins it. Because its him, the legendary Undertaker. The man has put over more people in his career than HHH, Orton and Cena combined. So maybe its his turn to go over someone, damn it!

But he doesn't need the world title, all The Deadman needs is The Streak.

 

[K-Fizz]

I don't think that the Undertaker needs to get the belt off of Kane, just needs to put up a good fight during this feud with his brother to put him off as a more powerful force. Kane's sudden surge to champion definitely needs to be validated with a decent match at a PPV against a top star since he's been a mid-carder off and on for the last few years.

After this feud, maybe he can have one more title reign and let the man go out as a champ. He's certainly deserved it after putting in over twenty years as a main name for the company. I've always wondered if Vince would let him go to WM as a champ and let him retire as a champ. Would only be fitting for the dead man.

I do not believe taker needs the belt to elevate someone. Its the Undertaker He is a legend if you beat Taker at all odds are that your carrer will be taken to the next level. It seems to me that everytime Taker comes back now he gets the world title its geeting kind of predictiable. I say have him feud with kane but kane drops title to mysterio and add someone like drew mcintyre to the feud and let both taker and kane put over mcintyre. thats just my thought

 

[SuperSav10]

It's hard to say. I think he will take the Strap from Kane for a short period of time. He'll beat Kane for the Title at Hell in a Cell in a Career V Title Match, then drop it almost straight away. The reason for this being the big Europe Tour around that time and I'm sure they wont want to book him as a World Champion and put him through all of that again. But for the current Story purposes, I think he will get the Belt one more time.

 

[slimmshady]

I think that undertaker will win the title from kane, somewhere down the line, whereby the match stipulation is a casket or inferno match (less likely an inferno match due to PG era). The title will stay will most likely stay with him for a temporary period due to his costant injury concerns. Undertaker will throw kane in the casket and set fire to it thus winning the WHC. Next, somewhere down the line at a PPV, kane will return with the mask on and take out the dead man.

I truly don't think The Undertaker is capable of holding the ball anymore because at this point in his career he seems unreliable. He seems very frail and injury prone but that is to be expected with his age and all. So do to that reason i really don't think they should let him carry the belt. Kane, Show, and Swagger for example are clearly healthy enough and have never suffered anything major injury wise in the past that would warrant an affect on them holding the world title. I would have said Mysterio and Punk as well byt with Rey's bad knees as well as him expected to take time off soon he shouldn't be world champion. Punk on the the other hand might still be healing from that arm injury he suffered in late June.

Which brings me to The Undertaker, Taker seems to get injured more easy in every other match these day than ever before. Since WreslteMania he has only had two matches and one of which was only by chance. The first was a by chance match that he had against Jack Swagger in April when the RAW crew was stuck in Europe and the SmackDown roster feat. Triple H had to put on the show. The other was his official return match to SmackDown when he took on Rey Mysterio in a match to qualify for the SmackDown's Fatal 4 Way match at the pay-per-view of the same name. During this match he got injured by Mysterio from a mere moonsault . The damage was basically Rey broke the old guy's face, forcing him to once again leave action after just returning. That reason right there should be enough for WWE to know that Taker at this point in his career is incapable of carrying a show as a champion. Sure he can challenge Kane for that title but I just hope they don't let him hold the title again because they never know when a moonsault or any other move could potentially take The Deadman out of action. Use him to draw for shows but do not give him the title, it's that simple.

The Undertaker is to wrestling what Bob Dylan is to popular music. Nobody else comes close. Wrestling is great theatre, and the principal actor is the phenom. His encounters with Cain were brilliant television. As to the belt? None of the supporting cast, belt notwithstanding, will ever remove him from the Number One spot. When he goes (the same applie to Dylan) he will be that rare thing - irreplacable.
