Think he was hindered by the age in which he got into the business, if he was 10 years younger when he started this wouldnt even be a questionable
i still stand by the fact that he was the only one who seemed like he could break the streak which is a credit to the man
he had excellent big man psychology as well
best look since the ae as well
they dropped the ball on him in 08-early 09 when they started really making cena the distinctive top guy imo they should have been the Austin rock
wish his 09 10 heel run was longer as well
so hes a real case of what we got was great but what we could have got if he stayed was great as well, feuds with the shield and aj had the potential to be special
Big fan of Batista’s first run. He did a great job as the powerful face champion. He was far superior to Cena IMO. I wasn’t happy when they switched him from MNR to SD. He was more edgy and “raw” than the boyscout dork Cena.
think the problem with his smackdown switch was he landed there and taker/randy were already in a feud so he had neither of them to fight
theyd just taken angle to raw
Christian left
left him with jbl who yes was a great heel but hed just been vanquished by cena and needed building, they simply had no worth feud for batista until eddie
Super cool and I like him, but I do think he was better than Orton and Cena. Things would have been better if Lesnar and Batista took over rather than the other two.
Never really cared about him tbh. Back when he was huge and especially during his lame comeback.
He did bring in new fans though. I still remember back in the day my friend would copy his machine gun entrance when walking into the pub on a Friday night, and then doing the SCSA walk up to the bar and getting an Apple & Mango J2O like a fucking pansy.
He wasn't a great wrestler but he was good and played his role well. He was never supposed to be a technical wrestler, just a powerhouse
