On a recent edition of his “Six Feet Under” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker stated that the WWE Championship should have a traditional design instead of a custom makeover representing the titleholder.
The Undertaker said, “No. I’m a traditionalist. I’m old school. Whatever the world title is, that’s what I wanted to represent. As cool as [the custom belt] is, it’s one of the nicest looking belts I’ve seen, I would have wanted one of the traditional belts, unless it was the spinner belt, which was awful. If I had my choice, the spinner belt or [custom belt], I would have gone with the [custom belt]. I always like the traditional championships. Back then, it was more about being the champion than marketing. I’m not opposed to making money. I just think there are certain traditions and things that should be untouched. The championship should be the championship.”
The Undertaker has held the WWE Championship four times in his illustrious career.
