Does anyone else find the Randy Orton/The Undertaker feud stupid? *FNS Spoilers*

[Mr. Nerfect]

My dad came round when SmackDown! was on (usually he's round when RAW is on), and we watched a bit together. Anyway, when The Undertaker/Randy Orton thing came on, he and I both agreed on two things:

1. It was stupid...

2. It went on way too long...

Now I like both The Undertaker and Randy Orton, and their matches thus far have been of high standard (even if they aren't exactly heart-pumping), and I'm sure their outing at Armageddon will be, but quite frankly, the whole storyline here is pathetic.

Orton has killed The Undertaker, what, twice now? And they actually play it off like murder! What the fuck? A more reasonable storyline would be Orton calling The Undertaker "Mark", and informing us Taker is a mortal man that was born, ages, and retires.

OK, I can live with the Casket Match at No Mercy, and Orton going to extreme measures, I'd forgotten about it. But instead of bringing Taker back as a zombie whose soul is back for revenge, why can't we just get right to the chase and have Taker just challenge Orton to a Hell in a Cell Match to ruin his career, and Orton accept because he wants a huge victory and to force respect out of the lockerroom? No "You can't kill me crap", it is my personal opinion that this feud (which really didn't need to go past Summerslam) would be much better if they replaced the words "kill me" with "make me step aside". Orton looking past the character and seeing a person seems much more arrogant the a kid who crashes cars with unconscious bodies on the back.

I'm not saying have him go back to the American Badass, I'm just saying this feud should be more grounded in reality than it is.

I don't know why I'm posting this, but I guess it is just because it is really bothering me that a segment that could have been used to give Paul London and Brian Kendrick extra time, or have Ken Kennedy or Paul Burchill included in the show could have really been scrapped for something 1000x better and more effective than EXTREMELY fake looking lightning bolts.
