We've seen a lot of interaction between the two of them in the last couple of weeks, i dont know for sure but i think these two are going to end up feuding with each other. And i do hope that i'm right because it would benefit Benjamin tremendously by feuding with the Undertaker. Think about it, Taker has been taunting Benjamin a lot lately and Benjamin looked pretty impressive in the rumble. And it would make sense if the older Undertaker would help get the younger Benjamin over. Anyways what do you guys think of all of this?
Undertaker to feud with Shelton Benjamin?
- Thread starter Crush1
- Start date
Nah, I simply take it as a mini-feud with Benjamin to fill time with the Deadman. The Us Title wasn't being defended at the Rumble, so Benjamin simply needed something to kill time as well. Likely MVP and Kenedy will be the two to emerge sooner or later as contenders to that title, but nothing looks to be set in stone yet. I honestly woulnd't be surprised to see Benjamin take taht belt into Money in the Bank at Wrestlemaia, and a feud will emerge from their.
The Undertaker has probably been used to groom Benjamin, or give some feelers to the guys up top if Benjamin is ready for another push or not. If he's not going to get a good match out of the Undertaker, he's not going to get a good match out of anyone. Benjamin has lost cleanly to the Undertaker twice in the last two weeks, theres not much room to grow from this point.
Besides, the Rumble last night laid the groundworks for Michaels vs. the Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

Undertaker for Champ!
I doubt that Undertaker and Shelton Benjamin will have a long fued. First of all, Benjamin lost cleanly to Undertaker twice in a row, so Benjamin having anything to do with Undertaker after that would not be a good idea. I feel that Benjamin is a bit above the U.S. Championship and is ready for the main event. If Benjamin and Undertaker continue having matches, it will probably be to pass time for Mr. Kennedy's return and take the title from him. Once Benjamin is no longer the champ, he can be elevated to the main event, but if it fails, then we can see Benjamin regain the U.S. Championship.

I think they already have. Taker is above the US Title right now and it would make no sense to put him in a feud for it just before going into an epic Mania match. THink about it. If he wins it, he'd go into the Mania match with it and it would just not sounds right to have it be non title nor would it sound right to have Taker and Shawn for the US belt. If he feuds with Shelton and Shelton beats him, it launches Shelton up the charts, but what does it do for Taker? It hurts him pretty bad as he looks like he can't be a career midcarder before heading into a huge match with one of the best workers of all time. They had a mini feud to see how Shelton would do against a big leaguer and he did very well. Maybe one more match but I wouldn't look for much more than that.

I dont think there will be a long fued between them, but it would be great. I have always felt that Shelton has been held back, and that he could be one of the top guys. Though I think that before he becomes a top guy for RAW or SD, a run as ECW Champ would work for him. Though as I said in a thread about Jack Swagger, the ECW Championship is a upper-mid card title to me.
One thing, sorry I forgot. Undertaker would be GREAT for Shelton. If the Undertaker is willing to put him over, including taking a loss from him it would speak very loudly.

I think for Taker its just a filler fued till No Way Out and for Shelton its a way to increase his credability.
I dont think Shelton is as over as everyone says, i mean what has he exactly done recently. Getting Shelton over would be fatal four ways with Helms, Kendrick and R-Truth even fling in MVP to help.
I've got a feeling however Shelton is simply going to get lost in the shuffle when Umaga and Kennedy return. As for Taker, i dont think creative have anything for him and they havent for months, I think hes been stale lately and i'd bring him back as the biker for sheer promo's and hopefully a rematch of him v Hardy from years back except with Jeff going over.

HAHAHAHA is what I think.
Benjamin's really only ever been over once, and that was because of Thea Vidale.
But back to serious matters...
Should we have the Undertaker feud with Benjamin? No, it would serve nothing to both men. If the Undertaker's going to go into Mania and defend this streak then losing a feud to Benjamin would hurt him, severely. Benjamin being in a feud with taker where he loses would do NOTHING for him one bit.
If you want a feud for Benjamin, give him Helms, MVP,Kennedy, R-Truth or even the Big Show. Don't give him the Undertaker as it would serve no point.

Show and Shelton could work very well. Show is doing nothing but for some reason feuding with Taker AGAIN, so why not give him some fresh meat? It wouldn't kill him to go for the US title again as if he wins it, it frees up Shelton for other things as well as puts another title on Show's resume, even though he doesn't really need it. Taker can start gearing up for the Chamber at NWO and then the match with HBK. I can understand putting him in a feud with Shelton just for the short term, but I'd prefer an alternative that helps both of them more.

I think the best thing for Shelton right now is to just keep rolling over some of the other midcarders for alittle while. Maybe have Shelton vs Helms vs MVP vs R-Truth at Mania, with Shelton retaining against all 3 faces when everyone thinks he will lose. Lately he's been used pretty well and I think he's on the cusp of being accepted as a legit title contender, just keep the wins coming for a few more months and I think he could be in a champion-vschampio nmatch down the road against whoever is champ.

I'm sorry, but some talent just shouldn't be made or have to put over other talent. The Undertaker, lowering himself to feud with Shelton Benjamin, is a prime example of this.
The Undertaker is a world class athlete in the industry. Shelton Benjamin is coasting by on his ability to perform IN the ring, only. Benjamin won't likely ever be a World Heavyweight Champion, and at most his most impressive title reign was the Intercontinental title back in 2004-05.
The United States Championship right now is becoming sadly similar to the Cruiserweight title, right before they off'd it. Benjamin rarely defends, and only against lesser opponent's that likely don't have a great chance of winning. He's feuded with R-Truth, but it didn't even make it to Armageddon, let alone any other Pay per view.. and since Benjamin's won the title.. last I checked, he hasn't even been used ON Pay per view to begin with. (much less in a title defense)
So why on earth would they randomly now place the Undertaker in such a shitty role, as playing "put over" to someone like Benjamin?
I doubt this is what's happening, but if they even had a thought of doing it, someone needs slapped for that idea, because Benjamin doesn't belong in the ring with Taker, unless he's being squashed. Let alone, going over him.

Cody Rhodes is an excellant
I'm guessing it will prolly go the same direction they went when they had Taker feud with Kennedy, if you remember Kennedy was the US champ when that feud started and was furthered by Taker coming out and distracting Kennedy allowing Finley to take advantage and the belt, Taker and Kennedy went on have have a good feud after that, I see this feud going the same direction, Taker will come out distract Benjamin and cost him the title, Benjamin will then likely come out and cost Taker a qualifying match for the EC and the feud will continue from there setting up a gimmick match of some sort to end it at NWO clearing the way for, hopefully, HBK/Taker at WM, a loss to Benjamin doesn't hurt the Deadman at all, in fact I kind of find it a bit funny how people claim that Taker putting over young talent could hurt him and would be a bad thing, and yet want Trips to do nothing but put over young talent
This just won't work, at least not now. Shelton needs to be built to the sky before even being given a slim chance at beating Taker. Benjamin is the U.S. Champ and all, but mid-card challengers are jobbers to guys like The Undertaker. I just can't see it happening untill Shelton has a few more fueds, at higher and higher ranks with guys like Jeff Hardy and even Khali, and even then he should in no way go over Taker, unless it was a roll-up or some sort of fluke. Otherwise, I would just find it way too unbelievable. Think of who Undertaker has beaten, and than who Shelton has beat. One list is a whole lot longer.
Honestly, I thought Shelton's feud with Kofi down in ECW was so much better. Then, the WWE dropped the ball and stopped the feud from going any further. Those two compliment eachother very well, and I thought they did a great job telling their story in the ring with the impressive ring work that they displayed. This Taker feud isn't anything special, and hardly interesting for me.
