First off - great post Alienoid. I agreed with your other comments (especially the Jericho/Edge comparison). Just one comment on this though:

I have ZERO faith in the WWE making Batista look "sensitive" and "tough" at the same time.

Look at what happened with Kane..........when he lost Tori to X-Pac. Look at Big Show, when Bossman made him ride the casket of his father.

UNDERTAKER on the other hand, was booked decently (i.e. when DDP was messing with Sarah). Unfortunately however, that was on the OTHER extreme (i.e. Taker squashed the living crap out of DDP and permanently ruined his credibility).


I don't mind if Batista's "past", etc. is brought up by Triple H (this would add lots of intrigue to Batista's character), but him looking "sensitive", etc. would be VERY detrimental to his character.......especially with the "geniuses" on the creative team as the brains of the operation.
