Batista's good and very entertaining. He's got a limited moveset, but they're good, and he doesn't botch them.

I disagree. Batista has been working pretty extensively with Fit Finlay and you can see it in the little things he does. He grinds his forearms into the face of his opponent when pinning them, for example.

He's also MUCH better on the mic than many "big men." For example, remember when he talked to Flair about getting the tag titles back from Edge and Benoit? And then he went out and was the best part of that tag match.

He's starting to use the Spinebuster as his finisher right now, which is great on SO many levels.

1) It's not a powerbomb.
2) It's being established as a credible finisher right now.
3) It's a nod to the fact that he's basically the Arn Andersen of Evoltuion.

And hell, that spinebuster on Kane last Monday was absolutely swank, especially since it came after a huge sequence of chokeslams.
