Won an undeserving royal rumble and taking away a spot for someone like Daniel Bryan or CM Punk. And could be one of the factors as to why Punk has left the WWE.
The backlash Batista is going to get is insane. He's come in as a babyface and in a matter of 2 weeks, he's coming off as one of the company's top heel. Interesting.
Batista's heat isn't wrestling heat imo, it's fans being pissed off that a guy has come back to flog his new movie and demanded everything and got it without having earned it.
No shit. This could make Cena accepted by the male demographic. At least he puts in his time and works a regular schedule (hell, more than an regular one). With Batista being public enemy #1 and being the absolute personification of what is wrong in the wwe and pro-wrestling, all of a sudden Cena doesn't look so bad.
Batista is absolutely the biggest heel they have right now. They didn't want him to be, they planned on him being welcomed back as the biggest baby face. It backfired tremendously on them (see the Royal Rumble), so what they should do now is run with it, not run against it like it seems they may do.
You are absolutely right, this would be best, I think Batista would have been better off returning in the summer because any guy was going to receieve backlash from Bryan's spot hence why Mysterio got booed. Corporate heel Batista with the suit and sunglasses, standing with HHH, Kane, and Steph would be best. I kind of wish Del Rio could do this, cause he has a nice look for a heel corporate champ.
X-Pac heat to now ' Batista heat ' :L fail run this guy is having already. I was excited for Batista to come back, but it only took him a royal rumble win for me to turn my back on him. Never should have won it.
The heat Batista is getting is not the heat wrestlers want. It isn't heel heat. People hate the man behind the fake character now. I joked in another thread X-Pac Heat will now be renamed Batista Heat..
Gotta agree with this. It's not heel heat when you're trying to be a face, but the fans boo you out of the building because they don't want you there. It works for Cena because he is such a goof and it's become part of his gimmick, but it might not work so well for Batista.
Yeah Batista is a legit cunt. Flipping his finger up to a fan and mocking Daniel Bryan. This dude is meant to be face? not a good way to send the fans home happy. Very unprofessional and disrespectful.
He is the biggest heel because nobody wants to see his fat useless old ass, take up the TV time of talented wrestlers. No wonder Punk walked, even he did not what this sack of shit working for the WWE again!
I can see why Batista want's to come back. I doubt he wanted him quitting in a wheelchair to be his last appearance. But why did he have to come back right in time for Road to Wrestlemania :'( he should of came back night after Wrestlemania so people can accept him back. They fucked him up by bringing him back and 6 days later winning the rumble and main eventing Wrestlemania. ew!
He has some nerve demanding a Rumble win and winning the title at Mania to return. Makes you appreciate Cena, his character may be a pain in the ass, but he's a good guy who works hard for the company and loves the industry.
They aren't gonna make him a heel just because they want him to main event against orton. New Orleans is gonna boo the shit out of both of them. The crowd popped when Brock came out challenging them both. That's how bad people were pissed about the rumble that they cheered Brock over Batista. I'm a Brock mark for years now. Followed him in ufc and still love him in wwe.
Cena has been putting guys over and busting his ass off. He lost clean to Bryan and Orton just last year. He won't be near the main event of Wrestlemania.
It becomes hard to hate him when he's just an upper-midcard guy.
He's put over Rey Mysterio, Orton, Eddie Guerrero, Edge, he wanted to work with Christian and put him over being one of his supporters that Christian should be a main eventer. He's put over MVP, Finlay, and Shelton Benjamin, hell Chavo Guerrero looked good against him in 2008. Don't act like he never puts anyone over.
The difference with when the Cena heat when that was at its peak is that WWE knew Cena still had a massive fanbase and that would always be the case being the top guy.
I am pretty sure even casuals dont care about Batista. Either they didnt watch 5 years ago or no one really liked him that much anyway. I have family members who watch WWE too and I can gauge the casual fanbase on who they are cheering for and they hated Batista winning the rumble and wanted Bryan to be in it.
It doesn't make sense to not turn him heel at WM or the RAW after WM.
