I'm kind of offended by Batista being compared to Warrior. Warrior is 10 times more entertaining than Bats. How dare they soil Warrior's good name, he can do that well enough without any help. Lets just break it down:

1. Promo: Warrior is the Slayer of promos. You have no idea what he is saying, but it sounds cool as hell. Then when you actually listen and try to follow along, it makes even less sense. Go on, listen to some Slayer, the lyrics don't make a lick of sense. Now listen to an old Warrior speech, he says something about lawn mowers and air planes and HULK hogan, the words are all in Engrish, but don't mean a damn thing.

Batista on the other hand sounds like any high school athlete being interview before a game. He is all like "We are going to go out there and give it 100% and show respect and um, give 100%." Then he might say something his coach said that he won't truly understand for years to come.

2. Entrance: Warrior's entrance is literally an 8 year old with ADD (or is ADHD?) on 'riods. I don't know if I would call it passion or showmanship or what, but it was/is entertaining. You can't but helped but get pumped.

Craptista on the other hand, you can hear him thinking it step by step when he comes out. "Hmmmm, walk out. Sumo stance. Pretend machine gun, jazz hands and boom!" It helps if you read that with a gay dance coach voice for full effect.

3. Actual match: Lets face it, they both suck at wrestling, but Warrior was like watching a car wreck. You knew someone was going to get hurt, but how bad was it going to be. Plus, sometimes a Warrior match would be so quick, that if you sneezed, you missed it. He brought the excitement.

Dancin' Dave's match's are just boring. There is no intensity or story telling really, and you have to have one or the other for it to be watchable. Plus, I don't like the way he sells moves.
