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.

Thank you for the props, and I must say I was really regret passing up the opportunity to discuss the points you brought up in your previous discussions, because your ideas always seem to be on the same wavelink as mine around that period of time.
Anyway, I believe Batista shouldn't be billed as "sensative" as such, but rather as a character trying to keep his monster-side buried. Have it turn out he is not a horrible person like Evolution make him out to be, but a normal natured person, with a 318lbs frame, and a rage that is embedded deep inside. I personally wouldn't mind it if Tyson Tomko started showing up and asking Batista "What's it like?" and things like that when Dave is champ, but it is made to sound really creepy and to get under Dave's skin.
I remember back to when Batista first came to the WWE as Deacon Batista. Maybe they can mention how Batista turned to Christianity to escape form his past in "The Disciples of Synn". He tried to turn to love by marrying his beautiful wife. But then he kept falling after D-Von manipulated him and his faith was lost for the time being, and this is when he was starting to fall back to the darkside, but he was saved by Flair who gave him humanity. For that Batista would be forever thankful. Then Triple H tried to smother the monster and try and use it when he wanted. But the animal in Batista came out, and now he frequently uses it in short sudden bursts inside the wrestling-ring. I wouldn't mind seeing Tyson Tomko & Kevin Fertig team together to feud against Batista. It could even be good if D-Von, Ric Flair, his wife, Tyson Tomko, Seven & Synn where all "in on it". I would really be sympathetic towards Batista if it turned out that his whole life was a setup to try and change that chained up animal inside Batista into a Leviathan.
But the WWE would probably screw it up and have it revealed that Batista screwed dead bodies while working in the morgue as a stoned teenager.
