We have two World Title matches coming up at SummerSlam:

The WWE Championship between Bradshaw and Undertaker

The World Heavyweight Championship between and Benoit and Randy Orton



Question: Who should leave SummerSlam as the champions?

JBL is a rating killer, but Undertaker as Champ leaves a sour taste in my mouth, and under any other circumstance, I'd want him to job. But this is JBL. Vince may love him, Johnny Ace may love him, no one else does. Viewers hate this guy, he's not a main event guy and I'd love to see his reign end. I expect it won't though.

On RAW, Benoit needs to drop the belt. Orton is ready to give it a go, I think a fued with Triple H or HBK down the road would be a solid one. If Benoit retains it would be doubly bad since he has no real challangers other than The Game on the horizon.

What do you think?

Unfortunately you're right about Benoit. Benoit is one of my favorite wrestlers, but he needs to lose the belt to keep his character fresh in a sense. Besides, if benoit kept the belt for a long time, he couldn't be known as a 2 or 3 time World Champion. You know I hear Roddy Piper has contacted Vince about coming back. I think it would be great to put Orton and Piper together-wrester and manager after his fued with Triple H. I know it failed with Piper and O'haire, but O'haire was never a world title or intercontinental contender. Afterall, it was Roddy Piper who formed an alliance with Randy's father, Cowboy Bob Orton. Piper is great on the mic and would give Orton's character the spark he needs to get over as a big main event heel. If Orton is going to carry the world title and not be as boring as JBL, then I think a guy like Piper would keep it interesting for Orton's character.

I think Benoit should still be champ,because he deserves it...unfortunately,it seem as if that will not happen. Theyre pushing Orton TOO fast. Leave him win the IC division a bit longer.

JBL IS a ratings killer and while I dont want to see the Undertaker get it,I feel it is time to take it off him...so the Undertaker should win,but I dont see that happening.

The problem with putting the IC belt on Orton is that he could become a career midcarder. Look at Benoit, if he would have gotten his shot 3 years ago he could have drawn huge crowds for the belt. Now he is struggling to draw and the highlight of Raw is a retarded character pulling pranks on William Regal...but it is funny! :)

Scott Hall is another example. The guy was AMAZING, but was a midcarder for so long that he got too old before he even got a title shot.
