He's done seemingly nothing in the past 2 years. If somebody told me he had been an early steroid and performance-enhancing drug related wrestling death I'd believe it.

Meanwhile, the company is dying for a top heel and he would pretty much be it. His mic work and last run against Cena as a heel was brilliant. Anybody else missing Batista?

I do miss him and would love it if he was wrestling today. I mean the more he was wrestling the better and better he was getting in my view. Its a shame because he had many good matches left in him with many.

WWE would turn him into a cowardly heel and have him run away from everyone.

 

[TexasRangerCarl]

Never was a fan after 2006, but his 2002-2006 heel run up to his face run was absolutely BEAST!!

 

[Honey Bucket]

He's going into MMA now.

 

[JoseDRiveraTCR7]

Nope. Never found him interesting except for his heel run, which is incredibly overrated. If he stayed he would be affected by the same crappy booking everyone else is affected by.

I disagree. I feel he only would had got better.

The company has been dying for a top heel for a long time. Unfortunately they could bring back ANY of their past top heels, and they wouldn't be as good as they were before. Just look at how they've handled Brock Lesnar. Jobbing him out to Cena in his first match back, in a match seemingly suited to Brock's style, and then turning him into cowardly heel no. 4958374. They couldn't even bring themselves to add fake blood to Brock's attack on HBK.

You could bring back heel Batista, or heel Rock, or heel Austin, or heel anyone you like, and they would not be given the freedom to do what they do best, and they would be a shadow of their former selves. Leave Batista's legacy alone, and don't bring him back to a company that only cares about kids, and protecting Linda McMahon's senate run.

You will not see anything edgy, or an environment suitable for the kind of heels we have become used to, for at least the next 5 years. When HHH takes over, things will change I imagine.

If he did return I would love to see him go after John Cena again or maybe even Undertaker setting up Undertaker vs Dave 2?

 

[JY57]

didn't he leave because he was fed up with the PG era?

It will be interesting to see if he will have same success Lesnar had in the MMA.

I think he didnt like the PG era. Many do not like the era. I feel like Brock Lesnar he will one day be back just not right now.

 

[ManiacMichaelMyers]

Batista was just another roi4e4 up tool. Gla4 he's off my TV for goo4. Coul4n't stan4 his stupi4 face. All he ever was was a mo4ern 4ay Ultimate Warrior rip-off...except UW was far more entertaining.

 

[Bad Blood]

Dave was not that bad and in his career had many great matches with

Undertaker
HHH
Rey
Orton
And more

Having him fight Cena again would be a good feud worth watching, but the IWC would moan about it from start to finish.

Having him fight Undertaker again.....well it depends if their match is at Wrestlemania. If it is, then the result is so obvious that it wouldn't interest me personally. If it was at a different event, then sure would be good to see.

I still say he'd get watered down though. Remember that most of what you remember about Batista is from the pre-PG days.

 

[Wrestling Eltie]

I want Batista to come back and be that great heel we was before he left. But he'll never come back cause he hates what the company has become.

He may lose to Undertaker but it would be another Wrestlemania classic.

Dave could work with new stars like Brock Lesnar.

I do not really think his matches with John Cena are that bad. I feel they have had many good matches.

That may be true but both guys are disliked by the internet fans. This forum would be full of bitching threads every single day during that feud.

 

[Hordriss]

He left because he hated WWE's more family friendly direction. He's stated that in countless interviews.

 

[superfudge]

WWE doesn't know how to book heels and faces any more. Heels are jealous cowards, and babyfaces are unfunny hypocrites.

Agree.

Best thing I can say about him is that I prefered his run in evolution over ortons

Also, there's no PG era, it's the crabby creative era, the PG thibg isn't the teason WWE
sucks theese days.
