Goldberg 2.0

I find him way more watchable than Goldberg, but the guy has 3 moves and one of those is a clothesline, I don't hate the guy but I don't see what all the fuss is about either

He has a great personality, wrestling moves aren't everything David :'(

[Anybody Thrilla]

Granted and I totally understand that, but for me as a fan I like to have wrestlers have more than just a gimmick, I know i'm not in the majority on this one. But as a wrestler myself I try to look at all aspects of a worker, the best all rounders by far in the WWe are Eddie G and Y2J and right now it looks like both of them won't be getting a decent push for a while which is a shame.

The writers can make of break a guy, Batista is pretty much doing exactly what he was doing a year and a half ago, only now he's not being pushed as the Evolution muscle, but instead an actual threat. Hardly anyone gave a shit about him then. Now he's doing the same routine but with the hint of a title and he's the best thing since sliced bread.

His moveset is kinda limited, but I get the feeling that he's got more than he's been letting on in his repertoire. But besides that, I actually like watching him.

Also, when the hell is he getting a shirt?

Its nice to see the WWE is willing to push an openly homesexual wrestler.

Yeah, you haven't seen the tat?

[Dorkchop]

I really enjoy watching him. He's improved so much. He could easily win the Royal Rumble. And his music is totally tits.

Batista has a wife doesn't he?

Anyway, when I firts heard Batista's theme music abck in 2002, I fell in love with it. It reminded me so much of the first electronic game I ever played, which was this little sidescrolling space-ship shooting game called "R-Type" or something. :y:

In fact i've always been a fan of Batista, and although I agree he's not Jericho, Benoit or Guerrero in the ring, he's still getting better and carries an aura of dominance without under-selling offense. He won a majority of his audience when he cut that awesome promo in the back with Triple H talking about how Evolution has his back whichever angle he's atatcked (this was during the whole "inmates running the asylum" thing).

Batista is pretty good on the mic, and seems to be more capable than what we're seeing from him. That fisherman suplex off the top rope to Benoti a few weeks ago was great. :y:
