Take this blog as what you will but this my opinion and I want to share it. In my last blog which was before SummerSlam and in that blog I said that the Undertaker should not return to the WWE at SummerSlam and didn’t need a new title reign. Well surface to say both of these things happened and whether it was right or wrong I’ll write about in this blog.
First I’ll begin at the Undertaker’s return at SummerSlam. I’ll be the first to say it was awesome, I loved the return when he appeared and took apart CM Punk – but was it fair? I am an Undertaker fan and a wrestling fan but do not think the way he returned was the best thing for him.
Lets think about it – the Undertaker appeared at WWE’s second most important PPV and took CM Punk’s moment after he won his match clean.
Now in this time of WWE desperately needing new stars the Undertaker has come in and buried CM Punk as a main eventer and took his title.
The Undertaker did not need a title reign and did not need to return at Summerslam. Undertaker is hurt he doesn’t need to be wrestling at the moment, I mean look the Undertaker is a legend and what do legends do when they are in the later part of their career – they put over the young guys.
Now I have not one problem with the Undertaker being champion as long as he is fighting young guys who need the push. Now after the Undertaker beat CM Punk and he may have buried him as a main eventer. I have no doubt that the CM Punk will come back but with no help from ‘Taker. Now this blog so far has been pretty negative towards the Undertaker hasn’t it? Well I don’t blame the Undertaker for the the WWE’s terrible booking and I don’t think Mr Mark Calaway would want to be booked the way he has either. The Undertaker has prided himself as being a man who builds up new talent and he has been doing this for probably the last 7 years.
Before I go into more detail I’m going to make a little side note. How much did his rivalry with CM Punk suck, that was an awful rivalry – what was the point of the Undertaker and CM Punk having a 12 minute match, which saw the Undertaker win the title at probably the weakest point of his career. And yes this is his weakest point as he is older and has just had hip surgery, so is not moving or working as well as we would expect and that’s what being a pro wrestler for 22 years will do to a body. However do I see the Undertaker coming back and being as good as he has ever been? Yes I do, he’s just that type of guy but he needs to go on a limited schedule so he will be able to wrestle longer.
So what is the point in the Undertaker being the world champion, he’s already a legend, his championship run isn’t putting anyone over and he can’t wrestle for more than 20 minutes due to his injury. So why have him back as the champion and risk getting himself permanently injured, well I can’t answer that and I can only speculate and the only reason I can think of is the WWE is giving the Undertaker fans the long title reign we have longed for. However, in all honesty do we want this? Do we want the Undertaker to have crap title matches against opponents who do not need the push. If the Undertaker has to be wrestling now I would rather see him pushing young talent to be the champion. When WrestleMania rolls around I would like to see him go up against a top guy and have the best match on the card, then go on his way and have the time off and not risk injury.
We all want to see the Undertaker go to 20 and 0 and that will not happen if WWE need to keep rushing the Phenom back because they can’t make new stars. I would rather see the Undertaker go to 20 and 0 or more and only wrestle from January to April or May.
Now I do realize this blog may seem negative but if you really understand then its not. I know the Undertaker loves to wrestle but I would rather see him back pushing the younger guys rather than being in the spot light himself, so this is a message to the WWE and this is please for the love of god push new talent. The Undertaker may face Cena at WrestleMania and it will be the best match of the card but that’s if the WWE don’t fuck it up and injure the Undertaker before then.
