He's this generation's Sid Vicious. Whether that's a good thing or not, I'll leave up to you guys. That's not a bad comparison, but I generally think of him more as this generation's Lex Luger.

Hes good for a spot on a worst dressed list. I remember that time he came out to address the crowd looking like he just borrowed an outfit from Piledriver the video.

I love Batista. I owe many good laughs thanks to him from our almost world famous Photoshop threads.

I'm still baffled at his Golf Hat/Sweater Vest ensemble he wore last week on Smackdown.

A 300lbs bodybuilder, which in today's WWE looks so out of place and yesterday's news. His ego is more out of control than Triple H's. The fact that he was in the World Title match as the challenger for 8 straight PPVs. How is that justified?

He's a vacuum of charisma and talent. Batista is the very definition of suck. The worst attributes of Lex Luger mixed with the worse attributes of Sid

When's the last time Batista had a good match with someone not named The Undertaker, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, or Edge? When's the last time he carried a younger, lesser experienced worker to a good match? When's the last time he did something Photoshop worthy? Hint: Never, never, and Monday night are your answers Well, no, that's not really right at all. I've enjoyed his matches with Mysterio, and before that, with Jericho. Even liked some of the stuff with Punk. He made both Ted DiBiase and Dolph Ziggler look FREAKING AWESOME, despite going over. Especially Ziggler, in his first TV match. But aside from all that... Batista's like Mark Wahlberg. Use him right, and you'll get creat results. Use him wrong, and it's The Lovely Bones. There's Good Vibrations in the pit of danger. Feel it Feel it

You guys can make fun of his wrestling and promos all you want, but no one can ever make fun of his fashion sense. It is incredible. In fact, his fashion sense is the first thing that showed me that he could be a star. It was during that promo with Orton and Flair at Wrestlemania 20. i was like "Damn!! Can he dress or what?!!!"

For as much as he's bashed he's one of the biggest stars of this decade and gets some of the best reactions.

He isn't very good at the Awesome Bomb either.

I think he works great as a heel. He really has that unlikeable vibe about him, and you can see he's comfortable being a jerk. As a face I thought his character was confusing, but the fans still ate it up, so they ran with it.
As far as his in-ring talent goes, Batista steps up for the big matches but otherwise he's average.

This, as a face he's staler then a three day old bottled Cena fart. As a heel he's interesting though. Not a CM Punk, but he does the job.

He has muscles, doesn't use catch phrases and wasn't a big indie star. Therefore, he sucks. Dude. You're better than making a mass judgement.

The fans do actually pop for him and he can get them going. Plus he can be carried to a decent match, something which truly terrible wrestlers can't be.

He's actually grown on me a little. At least him as a heel feels less forced to me.

The fact that he was in the World Title match as the challenger for 8 straight PPVs. How is that justified? The guy doesn't decide who gets title matches and isn't a booker. The only way he influenced getting in those matches was because he was over enough that the company thought they would make money by having him be the challenger. If he really could control things like that, why not just book himself to be champion? Besides, that run was when the company had a terrible roster and no-one else to give the spot to that would make as much money as Batista would.
