Batista returning to WWE?
 

Found this on NoDQ.com, so take it for what you will.

Would be pretty hilarious if WWE low-balled him on his new contract.

He's the "They" in TNA.

lol his respect in the lockeroom will go down even more

Talk about your pits of dangers.

can we destroy the Konami Code before it's too late?

This is awful news Batista is terrible with the notable exception of his last few months in the WWE and him as D-Von's Deacon.

Why Xero? Why?

TNA's newest superstar

He's gonna personally take out The Nexus.

No one walks alone in the WWE but him!

The Unknown > The Pit of Danger.

batista was great during his run in WWE, but yeah that dude is a fucking joke.

As long as he is not the GM. TBH, he was a good heel towards the end.

Really liked him right before he left, but not really hyped about him coming back.

To be honest, Nexus' theme song is so completely gay even Dancin' Dave's theme seems good.

I'd rather watch Nexus, but their theme makes me want to punch kittens.

Maybe he learned to wrestle on his break from the WWE.

Nah.

I wouldn't put it past them to low ball him at all... Would knock his large ego down a peg or two...

Not like he was gone got six years or something.

Heard he wanted 500,000 dollars for a fight in Strikeforce.

Damnit.

His best promo ever was his last one there. Plus WWE has to get that philipino market back.They don't do gimmicks now,just different countries. He still looks like Tarzan and fights like Jane though.

By that logic, WWE needs a Chinese guy then.

We Need Wrestle(r)!!!!

And have him wrestre in a radder match...I couldn't resist...

This is fantastic news!

I really don't miss him at all. His last heel run was pretty damn good though, and definitely his best work since 05, but I really think he should just stay retired.
I wouldn't mind seeing him come back for an angle or two shortly I guess, but not fulltime.

He's the mystery Raw GM.

how do you know that there aren't 2 pits of danger in the unknown?

Wow...this isn't surprising at all.

This thread has been...

I honestly think their music is a huge part of the reason why they've failed as the "anti heros" wwe wanted them to be. You can't try be all intense and then come out to soft rock.

Batista's heel run was decent, although RAW sucked at the time, and he has only really been interesting before that during his 2004/2005 rise. If Dave wanted a job back, he'd get it. He was one of their biggest attractions and merchandise movers for a while. I just can't think of a place I'd want him creatively, though.

Actually, given thought, I'd like to see Batista in short programs against The Miz, John Morrison and CM Punk. But almost exclusively to put them over. Batista's ego probably wouldn't allow that.

He's ducking Lashley.

There aren't many Powerhouse style wrestlers in WWE right now so i'd gladly have him back.

Not too stoked to hear this, unless he comes back as a hired gun or body guard.

Nasally and whiny, to boot.

WE'LL TAKE ON ALL COMERS! Now listen to our Muzak!

I actually like Batista, but I think he's run his course in WWE.

The American Batista has run its course

I hope this is bollocks.

Zeke's almost back.

Before Batista's final heel run where he cut those awesome promos on fat girls I would never assume he could act in a film worth watching. Maybe he could be successful on film who knows.

True I've hear the he's had 2 dark matches before RAW shows but despite his size I've never found him to be that convincing when compared to the likes of Sheffield.

If he comes back to beat the crap out of Mysterio some more I'm all for it. Otherwise, meh.

Is that a serious post?
At no time have I ever wanted to see him perform.
And I was just as disappointed when he won the rumblle as I was when Cena won.
Blantista doesnt need or deserve to be part of WWE's main event card. Mid-Card at best.

This better be the Batista that returns.

I could see Dancin' Dave as the mastermind behind Nexus. He was could claim he was forced out of the company when he was "injured" (recall- he was in a wheelchair the night he got "fired"). So while recouping he formed Nexus to take his anger out on the WWE. He saw 7 guys that needed help, and he helped them out as long as they terrorized WWE.

Batista with the last look he had, looked too much like the Heel Rock of 2003.

BATISTA

Seriously? Awesome post there man...way to add to the topic.

Although I didn't actually want to ever see Batista perform, I think he was better as a heel than a face...so if he were to return, he should be heel and stay heel.

Batista definitely should always be heel, but, I don't know. The guy is huge, has a great look, but there's something about him that doesn't allow him to completely become a STAR. He doesn't have "it" (whatever "it" is).

yeah, I always thought that myself

Randy Orton's the same way

Like these 2 don't have the final "it" factor that Cena posseses

At this point, I don't think there needs to be a mastermind behind the Nexus.

There doesn't need to be but Nexus is falling apart and Cena extends the life of Nexus and adds a new dynamic but making Batista the GM/mastermind of the Nexus will bring even more life to the Nexus storyline. It does seem very fitting though. Cena cheated and got Batista out of the WWE so lets say he planned all this and have gotten Cena to join Nexus and humiliate him somehow.

Actually, the idea that Michael Cole reads out his last e-mail, saying something along the lines of 'and I will reveal myself now', followed by Dancing Dave coming out with an iPad doesn't disturb me quite as much as it should.

Especially if this was his new theme and tron.

Yes. Big Dave has always been a wrestler I enjoy watching. He was tearing it up his last heel run.

Can you really imagine Batista sitting in front of a computer, and doing things via email? What kind of an "Animal" does things via email? It would be kind of contradictory having him be a beast, a tough SOB, and then making people believe he is sending emails to Michael Cole, of all people.

Great thread bump, Beth Phoenix Fan.

Agreed. He was immense during the Mania build.

I do like the idea of Batista being behind the Nexus. The thing is, I feel like it would downgrade Barrett a bit if Bats were to be the one behind the entire thing.

Honestly, besides going out in a wheelchair, Batista's not going to have another run that was better than his last heel turn this year. His promos were great, he got some great matches pulled out of him by Rey Mysterio, and he and Cena at Mania did a helluva job considering their track records.

I wouldn't mind a one off appearance where he destorys someone, but anything long term is not going to go very far or be very effective.

totally copying Rock circa 2003 with the leather vest, shades, shaved head, (eyes, nose, hands) and security guards
