As for this match with Batista, if Batista dominates, loses, and then follows that up with a win in a high profile rematch, then its all good. But if you look at the past year esepcially, guys like HBK and Taker NEVER put over anyone, they always end up winning the high profile matches, and when they do JOBs (which I'm sure you know is different than putting someone over) its done in a way that the guy who got the win looks worse going out then they did coming in. Perfect example was Cena-Taker from the summer.
I go back to how the WWE pushed former mnster heels (which is what Batista should be), and none of those guys were doing JOBs for anyone. They came in, dominated, and then got defeated by some super babyface. The way the WWE books, they have 50-50 booking and nobody gets over.

I think Taker and HBK have put plenty over. Specially Taker... Taker beat Cena, but Cena had Taker busted open pretty bad.
Plus to people like us who look at the WWE from a backstage POV... there are a lot of people out there who don't. And to them a guy like HBK or The Undertaker isn't just another wrestler. They are legends, top notch guys.
So yeah... Batista lost to HBK. Batista lost to the first ever grand slam winner, the 4 time WWF Champion, a guy who's headlined Wrestlemania's... a guy who's been around for over a decade.... that doesn't sound too bad in my book.
Batista pounding the shit out of this guy in a match... that makes Batista look pretty good. From what I read HBK pulled that win out of his ass.
