I could have sworn it was the world title match that was the main event of WrestleMania 21 which saw Batista beat Triple H.
In 2008 the WHC went on last at WM. are you claiming they were still equal then?
As opposed to AJ's dominance as a world champion? Oh wait, that never happened. His reigns were shorter than Batista's best reign.
His combined reigns certainly were not less than that one reign, check your numbers Jack.
Batista's best reign was 282. Let's examine that reign a little further though. He vacated the belt in mid January, do you know the last time he defended the belt? Early October. Seems like that reign was at best comparable to AJs 211 day reign. Also note that Batista only had to put the title up 5 times. Two wins against HHH, a DQ loss to JBL,a win over JBL and a win over Eddie Guerrero. So Batista went 4-1 in title matches during his "superior" reign before losing the belt. AJ went 9-0-1 before losing the belt. He beat Sting at BFG, he beat Kurt Angle twice, he beat Samoa Joe etc. Sure looks like AJ's reign can match everything Batista did and then some.
What kind of ratings was AJ pulling in for TNA at the time?
Some of the best in company history. I guess there was the Monday Night Debacle at the very end of his reign but as we have already seen, Batista couldn't contend with Raw either.
You don't see the humor in your comments do you? AJ hasn't made the big leagues. I love how your criticisms of Batista can be said about AJ too and you don't even realize it.
TNA is the big leagues compared to OVW. That is why OVW is currently the developmental place for TNA.
AJ's had more matches. Since the totals aren't equal percentage is the accurate way to compare. But I'm not the one that brought that into the discussion in the first place.
Not really. Batting .300 for a few half seasons is a lot less impressive than doing it over a longer career.
I haven't seen a lot of his matches. From what I've seen I don't see him getting by Batista.
For someone that is supposed to be smart you sure seem to play the intentionally ignorant card a lot in the tournament.
The style that always took a backseat to the power style of John Cena unless he was working with Cena.
So you are arguing that even though Punk beat Cena more than once that Punk's style is more likely to lose because of the order matches not between the two went on
So you're more about finesse than results. You think it's more impressive to run across the ring, jump on the rope, and do a backflip than just take someone's head off with a basic clothesline. That's cool. I don't see AJ beating Batista that way.
And you think it is more impressive to look like you can fight than to actually be able to do anything. Looks don't win shit.
AJ's a swell guy and Batista's a dick. That's not going to get AJ a win.
Depends. Promoter's don't always want to put up with the bullshit. You really think it is a coincidence Batista's star faded once the wellness program became slightly less of a joke?
