I don't agree with him, but I see what Batista means. You list the top stars of the WWE, and you maybe say John Cena, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker and then Batista. Considering he was so big in 2005, I can sort of understand his frustration that if he left tomorrow, after four World Title reigns, he still wouldn't be a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame.

That being said, I think Batista is a selective worker with an ego problem. He can have good matches when he wants to, but otherwise he can be a real bore in the ring. His Superman character is really quite snooze-inducing, and he only really worked as a suave character back in 2005. It was like he was still a smart heel, but he just turned his attention to taking out the bad guys. He was more anti-hero than hero, if you will.

After his epic title win at WrestleMania 21, I didn't know how Batista could be sustained as a top face for so long, and was a little worried he would fizzle out. Well, he sort of did fizzle out, but he's won two more World Heavyweight Championships, and been apart of countless main events.

Personally, I think a heel turn right now for Dancin' Dave would be beautiful. Return to his Evolution roots and be more of an asshole who doesn't give a fuck. Batista Bomb Rey through a table because he can. Tell Ric to fuck off when he asked him what's up. The WWE does, however, probably need to keep this guy happy. The only good Batista is a motivated Batista, and if he goes to TNA, they would gain a lot more fanfare (whether you want to admit it or not). He'll more likely be going over JBL at No Mercy to become #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, and with ratings low at the moment, I can see another switch of the World Heavyweight Title (especially considering I can't see the WWE taking Jericho into WrestleMania as champion, as much as I would love them to, and some would argue he deserves).

The belt could very easily go to Shawn Michaels at No Mercy, to try and spark interest, or Batista could win it after Jericho retains. Then I can see John Cena winning the Royal Rumble and going into the main event against heel Batista, which would make me pull for Batista, sadly.
