Which Veteran Gets A World Title Run This Fall?

[CH Punk]

Since 2009, a veteran has gotten a run with the World Heavyweight Championship and, in each case, they never get another run with a World Title afterwards.

For reference, here are the people who have gotten runs:

2009: Undertaker - From October 2009 to February 2010
2010: Kane - From July 2010 to December 2010
2011: Mark Henry - From September 2011 to December 2011
2012: Big Show - From October 2012 to January 2013

I think it could be RVD or, if his knees don't disintegrate in two seconds, Rey Mysterio.

[Sparkybob]

Del Rio.

[BayleyTiffyCodyCenaJudyHopps]

If he were willing to work a couple more matches, it should be Brock.

[Young Game]

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}

He's a grizzled young vet.

[Turd Ferguson]

A lot of fire in this youngster.

[BorneAgain]

Crazy R-Truth to unseat RVD for the World Title and create a feud laced with snickering jokes about weed.

I think there's a good chance that RVD's winning the title on Sunday. If he does I don't think he'll hold it for long though.

U.N. Jefferson from Lambda Lambda Lambda?

[Dave the Dave]

Probably RVD

[Deleted]

If he hadn't retired, Regal deserves a farewell run.

[Raskovnik]

Rob Van Darn

[The Ichi]

I honestly wouldn't complain if Goldust got one.

[JTG Fan]

[cabbageboy]

Yeah I think RVD gets the belt either Sunday or at Battleground, but only holds until HIAC where he'll get beaten down fierce and Sandow cashes in.

I hope no one honestly. The thank you reigns are part of what killed the World Title. I'd rather see Del Rio keep the belt forever as a vanity prop while every other wrestler focuses on other things.

Yeah lest keep the title on the guy who CAN NOT DRAW a reaction. Makes sense.

Mark Henry would like a word with you about that.

And all of the reigns I mentioned had the title featured on Smackdown prominently, something the title can't do anymore.

But those guys who got the thank you reign were big enough stars and certainly didn't drag the title down.
