Batista vs HHH at Mania

**Fox** · 12-01-2004, 12:31 AM

I fell in love with Batista two months ago. When I saw him spinebuster Edge, and Edge coughed up his liver and had to swallow it again, I was hooked. God I love that spinebuster.

He truly has been working really hard, not only in the ring, but on his out of the ring character as well. A couple of months ago there were online rumors that WWE officials had been admonishing Batista for his weak character, and it seemed like right after that he became the bad ass we see today.

I also fear that they'll screw up Batista's face turn. All they need to do is have him squash people like they're nothing, and he'll be legit. None of this hoity-toity emotional bullshit. Let him spinebuster people on a regular basis and he's set.

However, I don't want to see Triple H vs. Batista in the main event, especially at WrestleMania. Shit like that was acceptable in the 80's and early 90's, but we're in a day and age of athleticism in pro wrestling. We aren't satisfied with a"Hogan slamming Andre" type of main event. Last year's was perfect. This year it needs to be something with Benoit, Jericho, Orton, Edge, and/or Triple H.

On a related note, why is RAW getting the WrestleMania main event again this year? I thought it traded off? At XIX it was Lesnar vs. Angle (SD) and last year it was Triple H vs. Benoit vs. Michaels (RAW), so it should be Smackdown's turn again.
