I would say that the Undertaker is greatest superstar that did not need a world title to get over. Undertaker didn't win the title on several occasions, but it was never about him being champion that made him big. Keep in mind that all of Taker's reigns were never very long reigns. Undertaker is one of the few guys who has stayed in the main event picture is whole career, without needing a title push.

Taker and HBK are both in that area where they don't need a title yet Taker keeps winning it recently... GIVE HBK A REIGN DAMMIT!!

A lot of guys have that speical effect that they don't need title reigns to get over Jake Roberts is a prime example

He has that Piper-like quality where he never really needs a Championship, but the fans love seeing him win it.

I really don't think Taker would've become an icon like he is today if he doesn't beat Hogan for the title considering that was back when NO ONE beat Hogan and Hulkamania was running wild

Taker is a big enough star where a title won't really do anything for his legacy or his career, but it's still cool to see some gold strapped around his waist.
And off-topic a little bit, but speed-browsing the WWE sub-forum, I initially read this as "Undertaker and titties"

As far as titles go, I think he was better off as the monster that hunted people so to speak. None of his World Title reigns mattered and, his first only meant something because it was Hogan, not because of the title. Hell, his only meaningful title run was with the Hardcore Title |

His reigns haven't had lasting significance, but they do present him as a credible threat to take the title in any main event he is in.

I agree Hogan laying down for Taker made Taker's career. Otherwise we might all be talking about that wrestling zombie in the 90's and if he was inducted into Wrestlecrap yet.

Plus titles always injure him anyway, the weight of the belt around his waist must put intense pressure on his legs or something.
