Batista Sueing the Media???

[amc21]

If you are as young and naive as you sound, AMC21, part of me hates to break it to you, but it must be done... public figures have a tendency to lie about their transgressions, even at times when all evidence points to their guilt (example: The case of Senator Craig resigning after getting caught for solicitation in a restroom this week). A few months back, Ken Kennedy said he did not do steroid, yet we find he's been taking three different suppliments in the past year. While I am not saying Batista is necessarily guilty, the truth is that it's hard to take anyone's word these days, especially when it comes to the media.

As for suing the media, historically, it's bad move. This will only lead to closer scrutiny, and while he may be found innocent of this charge, they could easily drag an unrelated skeleton from his closet that could tarnish his career. Also, back in 1967, Mick Jagger sued an English newspaper, who falsely quoted him as taking LSD. Within weeks, he was busted for drug possession (not LSD) at Keith Richard's home. He ended up pleaing guilty to the charge, and it hampered him being able to enter some countries. So while it may be possible to clear his name of this charge, Batista better be ready for some skeletons from his closet to emerge if he pursues this.

As for many of us criticizing Batista, his body isn't the sole reason. The reasons include his wrestling skills (frequent botched moves and the inability to carry a match without a successful veteran), his promo skills (his monotone and emotionless delivery coupled with unmemorable phrases and contrivances), his backstage attitude (arrogance and an undeserved sense of superiority, even after Booker T got the upper hand in their real life conflict), and his entrance (does anyone else find the whole machine gun pose for lack of a better word... lame?). As for his body, there's a difference between a cut physique and a muscle bursting monster. I have no qualms giving props to a wrestler with a tremendous and well-maintained physique. However, when someone has an abundance of bulging veins, back acne, and they come back from a crippling injury as large or larger than they were before, suspiscion of some body enhancement will naturally arise. If Batista's skills and image go beyond his freakish physique, he should lose some weight and muscle mass so he can be more mobile in the ring, and therefore be a better wrestler. History shows that men with similar physiques frequently have mobility and health issues once they retire (sometimes before).

I am not jealous of Batista's physique, and I doubt anyone in here is. As for him not needing to be prove anything to us, perhaps you're right in the short term. However, when his career comes to an end (which will likely be sooner than later if he continues in the direction he's going health and ambition wise), we are going to be the people who determine his ultimate legacy and his hall of fame induction. If he wants short term success from short term wrestling fans, than he's already attained his goal. Whoever, to the wrestling fans as opposed to entertainment fans, he will never be a legend and his legacy, or lack there of, will be forgotten when he walks through those ropes that last time.

Think before you type next time, AMC21. And also, read some quotes from former wrestlers regarding steroids and indication of use in a wrestler's appearance (Hulk Hogan did a great interview recently where he went into detail, which was quite inciteful considering he was very forthcoming regarding his former use) and you might get a clue where we draw our accusations from.

I do not need to watch what I type loser cause i am a true fan and i have a right to state my opinion. I'm not gonna let some nobody like u tell me what to believe or what I should do. It seems to me like ur the naive one cause u believe everything u read. Plus reading quotes from other wrestlers will not change my opinion cause I can care less what the other wrestlers say. I can tell u r a Batista hater so all I have to say to u is F**K OFF LOSER

dude chill out theres no need to be saying that shit, the guy was simply replying u but i didnt see him offend u like that =/... take it easy, just because he doesnt like batista doesnt mean he cant have strong arguments on his opinon, lets try to not start flaming here please

if u dont agree give ur arguments and let it be... agree to disagree

Personally I think Batista is on something, That could be Creatine which to my knowledge is fully legal in a way to boost muscle mass even though it does screw around with your Kidneys and stuff, but Unless there is a direct statement on the part of Sports Illustrated or ESPN that he is taking Steroids he can't sue for Libel as far as I know.

LMAO... I've never seen someone mark out like you on this site... you know wrestling's not completely real, right? There are pre-decided outcomes to all the matches... LMAO... As for my naivety, I don't believe EVERYTHING I read, but I also don't completely disregard things I don't want to hear. I also approach a lot of these rumors with a grain of salt and some common sense. Before you just blatantly curse at me, why don't you refute all my points and then reaffirm yours. All you're providing are statements you can't back up without the simple retort "Whoever dislikes Batista is a loser." As for you being a true wrestling fan, I obviously can't dimiss your passion. If you really dig wrestling that much, dig up some old PPV's from the late 80's-late 90's and tell me how you think your golden boy, Batista, holds up. Calling me a loser and telling me to F off just goes to show your position is all passion and no logic. As I said, break down my points and tell me how I'm wrong if you want to respect your opinion. Also, you want to run a grammar and spell check before you post your response, or at least have your English teacher give it a once over so you come across somewhat intelligently. Until you can find an intelligent or coherent way to defend your position, I'll continue to respond against it.

P.S. It's "you are" or even "u are," genius, not "ur."

Now I am in no way a fan of Batista (that ship has sailed), but if he really doesn't take steroids at the moment, and the media is saying he did, then he does have a right to sue them. I think it's slander or something, I'm not sure- not that great with the legal stuff. If Batista is taking steroids, then it'd be a pretty stupid to sue someone for printing the truth, especially a truth that could be fully revealed as a result of the suit (is that the noun for sue?).

Another thing, someone said that Batista must be skipping the random drug testing, and I seriously doubt that. How can you skip drug testing? Especially when it's random. The recent suspensions of what seems like a gazillion superstars makes it pretty obvious that it'd be pretty damn hard to skip a drug test.

It seems to me that Batista is really looking forward to clearing his name and suing the media but that his guilt in taking performance enhancing drugs has not been proven otherwise. Great Batista, you weren't suspended, congratulations. But that doesn't mean that he hasn't taken steroids since the Wellness policy of created or "strictly" enforced, however you want to say it. I am not a nutrition expert, but this guy looks like he used enhancement drugs to get ripped because just working out can take you so far. I love the fact that he stands up in front of everyone in the locker room to ask Stephanie McMahon that question. I think he really wants people to believe he never took steroids. Ok, there is a SLIGHT chance he never took steroids and he is telling the truth, but SI has pegged everyone so far that has been suspended or was suspended for buying those drugs online. Batista's name was on that list and if he really wants people to think he's off steroids NOW, then he should admit to taking steroids previously. I am sick of the WWE performers lying to the fans that helped made them and not come clean on national TV. Yeah, you will get ridiculed at first, but fans are somewhat forgiving if you are honest towards them. I think Batista trying to clear is own name is not what the WWE wants right now. If he goes through with the lawsuit and then is later found to have taken steroids, he discredits himself as well as the company he works for. Losing weight does not equal NOT BEING ON STEROIDS. The guy may have lose the little fat he had left and it fully built of testosterone or amerazole. No one here is trying to discredit anyone or trying say anyone's ideas are "stupid." Everyone has a right to their own opinion and has the right to express that opinion in any way. This is what forums are. The person that was trying to rebut your response wasn't trying to discredit you as a wrestling fan or trying to tell you are stupid for your beliefs. If you disagree with him then rebut what he said in more intelligent fashion than calling him a "mark" or using profanity.

Haha ha, Batista not on roids. Fucking Bullshit from hell there. People that defend this man simply don't understand bodybuilding. Where is his bodyfat? You don't get that big without bodyfat of some kind.

So, how can you tell that Batista is on the juice, um, the giant 3 inch diameter veins on his biceps didn't tip you off, here's some more. Zero Bodyfat, always the first sign of a juicer. Or, how about the fact that Batista is incapable of hitting his Dreaded Batista Bomb on anyone that weighs anywhere near his weight.

Body Builders are traditionally some of the weakest people in the world. There muscles are pumped up by juice, and not weight. Instead of lifting large amounts of weight, they lift smaller weights for longer periods of times. Look at guys that are in weight lifting competition as compared to guys in body building competitions. The Weightlifters are fucking monsters compared to the weak ass body builders.

So throwing John Cena into this mix, Cena is not on the juice. Cena is capable of lifting a guy like Big Show or Khali, whereas Batista may struggle with Rey Mysterio.

This is fucking hilarious. Batista is going to get drilled, because the media doesn't fuck around when it is being attacked. Not only is it going to bring dirt out on Batista, but other names are going to be brought out to. Go Ahead big Dave, take your best shot, fucking moron.

I still stand by my statement in saying he could quite possibly be clean of Steroids, This however does not mean he is clean, Creatine and HGH are either Legal(creatine) or there is no significant test for (HGH) this would also mean that he is at least smart enough to not buy Steroids over the Net, which is illegal as far as I know. But I am not saying he is clean but he is probably on something else.

I am in no way defending Batista.. but you don't have the first clue about body building. The size of your veins is not a sign of steroid use. Body fat percentage is in no way effected by steroids.. where did you get this information? Lifting small amounts of weight for longer periods of time is used to tone muscle. Lifting larger weights for shorter time is for bulk. People like Morrison are more toned. This means he focuses on repetition over weight. Batista can't get to that size by toning. He is a power lifter.

Check your facts before you post next time.
