He came back, worked house shows, tapped out like the first time EVER in his career at wrestlemania to a damn midget, didnt bitch or complain and is willing to bump and work hard, unlike other hollywood stars who come back and are blown up before their halfway down the ramp because they're juiced out of their minds and STILL get the belt.
He's turned a negative into a positive and is now an integral part of the show, isnt it about time batista gets some damn respect?
