At least Batista sticks to the power aspect. It works for him, so, why mess with a good thing? Granted, his in-ring work needs improvement, but, that'll happen the day guys like AJ & Rey Mysterio stop depending on high spots instead of solid in-ring mat wrestling.....

And for the record, I like both as wrestlers. I'd like to see AJ concentrate more on ring psychology & mat wrestling and Batista for more mat wrestling. Chances of either happening are slim, and we know a Chris Benoit neither guy will ever be.
Batista's "power" aspect, however, rarely has a lack of any sort of psychology. On the other hand, that doesn't actually make him any better, since he's spent a lot of time being very sloppy (The "green" comments really do apply). So you get a sloppy power wrestler with good charisma and moderate ring psychology, or a spot monkey who's at least accurate, but has almost nonexistant ring psychology and still not much in the technical skills department.
