Who REALLY cares about Batista?

[Suneeboy]

Who gives a damn anymore about steriod popping, move botching, can't put a guy over, every day moves slower and slower....Batista?

Right now I don't care about the children. I don't care about merchandise sales, and I don't give a damn about seniority. I just want to rant my ass off about this guy because I want him off MY television set, and I am asking YOU, do YOU want to watch this guy? Batista is as boring as it gets, and the way pro wrestling works, when someone leaves another person quickly moves up and fills their shoes.

Get this guy out of here. Turn him heel or something. Tweak his character a little if you really must keep him. Move him to ECW let him run the "C" show...or...I don't know......anything! Do something with the guy, but whatever you do keep him out of the main event at ALL costs!

Do you REALLY want to see him feud over the title? No.

Do you REALLY want to see him feud with Orton? No.

Do you REALLY want to see him as champion? No.

Is he REALLY needed (emphasis on needed)? NO!!!

Even if you don't agree with me, you gotta feel where I'm coming from because the guy is stale, stiff, and as boring as a fucking 1 mile snail race. I'd rather watch Mike Knox, Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, hell I'll even watch R fucking Truth over this guy nowadays. How about we just have this guy as an enforcer for a stable or a GM bodyguard and not as a main character who gets main event pushes? Enough of Batista already. He is just not entertaining anymore. Ok rant over. I feel better.

Finally someone feels me. He is slow and uncoordinated. He loses almost every title match he gets. Triple-H put him over a couple of years ago and it's led to nothing but unmemorable title reigns and injurys. I don't know how he moved ahead of Orton back then.

 

[The Infant Finite]

I m certainly going to pile on with you guys here. I loathe Dave batista, everything about this man makes me want to stop watching wrestling entirely when he is on my screen.
His ring "style" is so shotty and unwhelming that I would have a more on edge experience by watching a steel cage match between Barry Horowitz, Damien Demento, EL Gigante and John Cena.


The guy doesn't sell moves, he abuses the people he is working with (just ask spike dudley), he has non-exitent mic skills, hell he can barely deliver a line without fucking it up half the time. And mostly, to speak against his main event status, the guy gets hurt every time he puts forth any degree of effort into a match (which is why it' so rare these days). I wasn't for this when they initially put him over four years ago, you know a guy stinks when I think Cena deserves his status more than he does, but at least Cena is capable of compelling mic work (when vince isn't using him as his puppet that is).


I am so relieved to know that in all likelyhood, Batista will be gone by this time next year. Then I'm sure they'll find some over sized generic, muscle bound mook to take his place. What makes me sad though is that we wont be treated to watching his physique deteriorate to jelly after the steroids are long gone from his work out regiment. I was kinda looking forward to seeing that and calling him by a much more appropriate nickname "the Danimal".


Anyhow, yeah I agree, Batista needs to endure the booking equivalent to being dipped in brown gravy and locked in a cage with a wolverine who's high on angel dust.

 

[saint_edward]

true.

dave batista was better to watch a few years ago but he just gets tiresome. seems to have a fairly limited moves list and compared to many others on the WWE rosta he has very limited genuine wrestling ability.

a dave batista matchup seems to go like this... even to start with, few batista power moves, batista starts getting pwned, throws a powerbomb out of nowhere, shakes the ropes around then a batista bomb/shite spear attempt and he wins.

BORING!

 

[Black Snow]

I feel the same way about Batista as I do Triple H and John Cena. I've seen so much of them in main events feuding over top titles within the past few years that even if I was a huge fan of them I'd still feel burnt out. It's like Hogan in the early 90s. Even his most diehard fans were getting sick and tired of the same old song and dance. I'm not even speaking to wrestling ability. Any of these guys could be Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho all rolled up into one and I'd still be a little tired. When the same guy does the same routine for years on end in an era where there are six hours or original programing a week not including PPVs it just gets flat out boring after a while.

 

[shane140]

I REALLY hate Batista, ever since he returned from the first injury, as many of you have mentioned, he has become slow, boring, lazy and stale, he put more effort into the raw match the other night than the judgement day match, (where every other move was a headlock)

i will be very happy when batista retires next year, that will be the best episode of raw ever! and the day can't come soon enough IMO

 

[RATED R CHAMPION]

Ok, You're Right In Some Points, But Let's Make Clear, Batista Was A Body-builder, And I Dont Think His Body Is Out Of Steroids, I Think Is Legitimate, Now Talking About His Ring Skills, Yes, He's Slow, Some Times Misses Spots And All Of That, But From 2005 Until 2007 He Was Still Enjoyable, Because He Had Big Matches As The Hell In A Cell With Triple H Back At Vengeance 2005 And At Wrestlemania 21, Which I Think He Did Very Well, But The Problem Began In Late 07 And In 2008, Where Watching Him Was Just Seeing The Same Moves And "screwing Ends" As Ever From Him, So That's The Point Where Batista Got Boring.

In Addition He's Older Than I Ever Thought, He's Almost 40!!!! So Wwe Should Think In A Replacement For A Monster For Years To Come, Because I Dont Think Batista Will Be In This Place In 2 Or 3 Years From Now......

 

[notorious102]

Actually alot of people do like Batista .... The IWC hates on his in-ring skills, but the IWC hates on any & everybody who isn't an olympic gold medalist really ....

The IWC hates on the WWE 24/7 ....

 

[Lt 0reo]

I think that Batista should turn heel because it seems like he has been face FOREVER!!!, but the way WWE is that won't happen. Why can't he just retire? I hope the cage match with Orton at Extreme Rules is his last match and then he retires. I enjoyed him when he was in Evolution and when he fought HHH for the World Title but after that he's been boring as hell.

 

[Greenlight13]

Glad to see others think the way I do. Although I was never ever high on him, like even when he had his golden year beating Triple H and dominating Smackdown. I don't get why other people like him.

Is it because he's the last guy in the company who does a powerbomb? I have to say, as strong as he is, he doesn't even hit it that well. He wins more matches by spear these days and I'm not a fan of guys sharing finishers in the same company.

He can't talk and he openly says it which makes it worse. He has zero charisma and in theory should have no connection to the audience because of that but somehow he gets everyone cheering him.

My biggest gripe with him is he can't do the basics in the ring. He can't run, he can't get in and out of the ring, he can't throw convincing punches, he can't sell, he can't deal with chain wrestling. All he's there to do is sit in rest holds, power out, hit a big impact move or two, 20 variations on a clothesline (his corner one looks awful) and win.

In my opinion we have a John Cena, we don't need a Batista as well.

 

[Razor]

I may not really care for Batista. I may not like what he says outside of the ring, and I may not like him at all very much. But that is no reason to have him taken out of the WWE main event. Why?

He does his job. His work in the ring may blow from our point of view, but he does his job. He gets the crowd reaction, he gets the merchandise sales, he gets those tickets sold. It can't be a fluke that when he was feuding with the Undertaker the ratings were holding steady/rising. People care. I may not, you may not, but people do. And in the world of wrestling, that's all you need.

Case in point: Santino. I don't think the guy is funny at all, and I would love for him to just stay away. But when he goes out to the ring, he gets a reaction, he gets the laugh, he gets the pop. Not a good pop, but a pop. As long as he can do that, he deserves to stay until the WWE believes they have a man who can get a better reaction.

I may not care, you may not care. But the general audience cares. And they're the important ones.

 

[TJ INSANE 1992]

I CARE! Im a fan although he has Ric flairs speed now he is still not a bad wrestler. He makes a few mistakes but he always has energy and fans pop for him! Thats what makes him good. He is better than cena because he has more moves but barely. And another thing he is underated in his mic work because he doesnt need to talk and he doesnt get any time to talk! Batista is a good wrestler he is like any other power wrestlers. Stop pissin' on him! So if u dont like it i got 2 words for yA!

[Razor Blade Dream]

I don't mind Batista either way. He is pretty much Ultimate Warrior with less "razzle dazzle" neon arm bands and Big 80's Hair. Do I hate on him? Nah. I don't care what his opinions are outside the ring, but I could give a shit less about him either way. He is really another reason, other than Orton, why I don't watch Raw that much. I just don't give a shit about them.


Even though I would mark out if Batista rocked the Leviathan look again with the fangs and cat eye contacts. That was some evil looking shit.

 

[hArdyPUNKmArk]

Batista needs to bail soon. He's getting more and more boring every week. I was so sick of him towards the end of 2008 and when he came back I wasn't too pissed off but now I'm even more sick of him than last year and he's only been back what, 4 weeks?

I didn't mind him in Evolution and feuding with HHH when he turned face but now, there is nothing the man can do right. Shitty promo's, poor ring work, stiff as a board and a prick back stage. The guy is done, over, finished.

 

[RendarSelin]

Boretista has been a drain on my WWE viewing for years. I think I was excited to see him break out on his own at WM21...but became very bored with him very quickly. The thing with Batista's character...he is just too boring as a face. Batista desperately needs a heel turn. I could buy Batista as a heel. Plus, turning Batista heel would bring a breath of much needed fresh air to RAW.

 

[MSCodebreaker]

Batista has become a waste of space on my TV these past few weeks. When Orton punted him late last year, I was actually happy he was gone. As agreed with most, he seems to half ass everything he does in the ring. He is Ultimate Warrior 2.0, except that Warriors gimmick was at least enjoyable at times. I fail to see how he gets cheered. Maybe if people would pay close attention to his match at SummerSlam 07 against Kahli then they would realize how boring and untalented he is. To sum up what I think about Craptista: he defies the laws of physics by sucking and blowing at the same time.

 

[avi01]

The only reason i care is cause he is main event....he ruins them. Just another over-build guy...seriously the animal look is really just for the ...look. He is boring in most aspect. When he returned, while I liked the shock value, seeing those very slow spin buster and attack had me roll eyes. Can`t wrestle and is becoming slower.
Maybe he needs a heel turn...but that will only help the character. The wrestler is quite hopeless.

 

[rnzrkorip]

get rid of him. he's useless. batista, cena, hhh are the pain in the asses in the wwe for fans over 12. i loathe cena, but i at least would keep him around. batista just needs to go away. he no longer brings anything to the table. just retire dave. you're through.

 

[edge_furture]

i dont like batista but i cant say i want him off the show i think he is and asset but i think he would be better as a heel but not fighting cena and hhh he should join legacy or go to smackdown and be a heel


what do you think

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I never loved Batista but I never hated Batista. I guess you can say I am indifferent towards him. When him and Cena were seemingly in every pay-per-view, I hated Cena about it more than Batista. He will probably retire in a few years and there won't be a huge sendoff for him.

 

[suleman09]

oh wow, im actually kind of shocked that people actually agree with me too lol, Batista was much better back in evolution and about a year after he left evolution, but once he lost the title, his hype went wayyyy down, i have respect for the guy and what he has done, but what he needs is, big guy vs big guy matches or go to Smackdown, and by big guy vs big guy matches i mean, Batista vs John Cena, Batista vs Big Show, basically against guys who can't really wrestle much either, so they look like they are on the same pace, instead of Randy Orton (my fav wrestler) killing him with his skills yet batista still gets the wins

 

[Total Impact]

I still don't get how he and for the matter when did he get over? The only cool thing about the guy was his theme music and that is starting to get played out. I really became through with Batista when Booker T beat the crap out of him during a SummerSlam commerical. All that muscle over Booker T and he lost, real badass.

 

[Pimpin]

I'm trying to figure out how the hell he got over in the first place anyways. His entrance is the only cool thing about him & that's slowly starting to lose it's luster with me. Batista was way better back in Evolution cause he works better in a body guard type role, but I think he started to regress in the ring & his hype went down once he came back from injury. It also doesn't help that once Booker T beat his ass that I lost all respect for Batista cause with all the strength advantage over Booker & loses, yeah he's a real "badass" not.

 

[sevastra82]

I cant STAND Batista either, so I'm with the majority here. His gimmick is completely stale. He sucks on the mic. He sucks in the ring...honestly, theres not one redeeming quality about him. He's just simply boring to watch.

But look at the bright side, he's basically the Main Event jobber. He was fed to Chris Jericho, and won/lost. Fed to the Undertaker, lost. Fed to Orton, lost. He's always in the Main Event, but he jobs out left and right....which makes me quite happy.

He'll job out again against Orton in the cage also. Then probably have one more shot and job yet again. God I hope he retires next year like its rumored...the WWE will be a lot better w/o this ****** in the ring.

 

[Rusty]

Ok, first off let's get this straight, I am not a Batista fan. But I have seen him wrestle live, and I do respect the guy. He is constantly bashed on this Forum, for reasons I do not understand. He's not a great promo cutter, but not everyone is. When it comes to in ring work, man he is underrated. His match with the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 23 was brilliant, and it shitted all over the Undertaker's match with Edge a year later. Don't argue with me, because it's true. In fact, I believe that match was even voted the match of the year by PWI in 2007. But I could be wrong about that.

So I didn't get to watch Judgment Day, but I heard his match with Randy Orton was very good, and that it was one of the best matches on the night. People claim Orton "carried" that match. But that's bullshit, as I've rarely ever seen Orton carry anybody. Here's some more proof that people care about Batista, he is fucking over with the fans. Nobody can deny that. He is rarely booed, and the fans love him, no matter what age they are. Obviously they find him entertaining. Want more proof?

As proven by the God-like Slyfox696, Batista actually manages to gain in some good ratings MOST of the time. Not all the time. And why the fuck shouldn't he be in the Title picture right now? Shawn Michaels and Triple H are resting up, so the WWE really had no other option. Cena vs Orton sounded too good for Judgment Day, so the WWE made the right decision here by having Batista return into the WWE Title picture. With that being said, I think Batista should turn heel this year because Raw needs another top heel. But not right now, as HBK and HHH are absent. Be patient folks. If only fans followed that simple logic, the wrestling world would be a better place.
