Quentin Taranbino Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I stopped watching wrestling from around 2001/2002 to around 2009 so I completely missed Batista altogether. I can gather from his look and the above comments that he is utterly garbage so I'm not excited by this at all. I also missed Brock Lesnar first time round, and he got rave reviews but I have been nothing but disappointed since he returned over the last couple of years. Boring, dull, average in ring at best etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Are Pars Fans! Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 He's a much better heel than babyface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolution made him look better than he actually was. He was never a stand out, and won't stand out in the current roster either. Speaking of Evolution, the one time that the Undertaker's streak should have been broken is when Orton faced him with the "Legend Killer" gimmick. They missed the boat on that one IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forehead7 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 He's wasn't that fucking bad, dry yer eyes man. No, he's terrible. Go watch his match with Kennedy at the Rumble for the WHC. He's an awful wrestler and brings nothing to the table at this point and he's only going to take a Mania spot away from someone who deserves it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, Hogan's moment of winning the Undisputed title from Cena is in tatters now! In all seriousness, I think this Mania should be an extra hour in length considering the talent they are rumoured to be bringing back. Give some of the people present a chance to blossom and also have a few cracking ex-superstar matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight it's probably a good thing it didn't happen as the Streak has provided some great matches since then but if they were going to end it, that would have been the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I'm sure I read somewhere orton also turned it down. Kurt angle also says he was offered the streak. It just makes me wonder wether or not cena has been offered it in the past. As he is the only big name at the moment not to have faced him at WM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 If Batista returns as a heel I can handled that....if it's the face gimmick, where his promos were fucking horrendous then just no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hopefully WWE creative pull the fingers out of their arses and get some decent shit written for the next few months. With all the rumoured returns and the turn of the year brining the Royal Rumble, their is a huge potential to push some great matches, great feuds, promote some new talent and develop some new angles towards Wrestlemania. The last year has been pretty shit, 2014 better be an improvement! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure you can expect people to sit and be attentive for that length of time, especially when it's already 12-4 for the UK (and worse as you head east). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're absolutely correct, they can save about an hour by cutting out a lot of the pish they do every other Mania with the musical interludes etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 That boy from the other year.....KGB or whatever the f**k he was called was absolutely shite. Basically about half the roster got bumped off the biggest card of the year so I could hear some c**t I've never heard of "sing" for half an hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rtonfc Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I agree, if he comes back it HAS to be as a heel, he's fantastic in that role, the build up with his last match with Cena was tremendous mic work, he's not horrendous in the ring, he's a big lad! He'll be better than a lot of the fucking idiots who are currently on the wage bill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Are Pars Fans! Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 They need to build some new stars. It must be so frustrating for dome of the talent, work all year, constant touring etc then get dumped into a 12 man tag at wrestlemania if your lucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never gonna happen, he's an absolute wreck and there's no chance WWE would sign him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
