While he is a big star, I don't think Batista is a "must-see" commodity for the WWE anymore. For a while now, he's just been sorta there as like a cog in the wheel, but there is little to no true deep need for him to be on the show.
I think Raw actually flows alot better now without the Batista segment of him dominating someone, and allows more time for midcard acts like Kofi, Morrison/Miz, Dolph Ziggler, William Regal, and Mike Knox to get some airtime and development.
I don't know, does anyone really miss Batista? I've basically forgot about him for the most part.

The only good that comes out of Batista is his Photoshop threads.

It wouldn't bother me if he never came back. I was saying to my friends yesterday that RAW has been a much better show without him. Maybe move him to ECW if he absolutly has to make a return.

I do I really wonder what he'd be doing for wrestlemania this year Sharing a pint of Ben and Jerry's Americone Dream with a basketball named Spalding, his only company, before crying himself to sleep wondering if Hunter or Ric are ever going to call.

I think his face run is over and done with. He's got to come back as a heel, and I know "IWC-Heel syndrome", but the benefits of Batista starting fresh again far outweigh his predictable face act. And he's not the level of merchandise guy as a Cena, Hardy, or DX. I don't see many of them Batista shirts in the crowd, CM Punk, Randy Orton, and Edge all have more shirts being worn than Big Dave.

I do I really wonder what he'd be doing for wrestlemania this year Going over to his buddy Jerry's apartment to order the PPV. Batista was gonna bring the buffalo wings.

He just couldn't stay mad when Big Dave said "Celery sticks aren't only encouraged.... they're allowed."

Nope, can't say I miss him even slightly.
He's the only wrestler in the WWE that I just don't like anything about.

Haven't even noticed at all. Poor Big Dave hasn't really been interesting in a few years.

I don't hate him, but I actually completely forgot about him. Until this thread was brought up, I forgot about him being injured and not on tv.

Yeah, I think this thread gives him too much attention. Now we just need JBL to get off TV, and Raw will automatically become at least 3,000x better.

The strange thing about Batista is that when he's not on TV, I completely forget he exists. And this is coming from a guy who remembers obscure jobbers from 15 years ago. The man has to be the most unremarkable main eventer of all time.
