Batista is a muscle-bound lunkhead who seems to use a Game Genie for all those title opportunities.
Now, he had a good run in 2004-2005, and he should be credited, since he is only one of two guys I can think of (the other cannot be mentioned) that won a feud against Triple H since the Attitude Era.
That said, today he just runs on his physique alone. We here at WrestleCrap do love him for his memes, however. I mean, "You were supposed to be mah friend!"?

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? Don't forget that he main evented EVERY PPV in 2007 and was in seemingly every title match for the SmackDown belt (WHC), as well (either as champion or a challenger).

Yeah, but Smackdown's roster was thin back then. Add the injuries to Undertaker and Edge and you'll see why Batista was in so many main events.

If Bats was as bad in the ring as people on here make him out to be, he'd get winded quicker than Knobbs.

Truthfully, the fact that Dave is such an asswipeoutside the ring has honestly affected my abilitytohave empathy for him as a personor a wrestler. He can be effective as a somewhat mobile big man, but he usually seems boring to me. Plus, what are they thinking with the long program between him and Rey? Put him in a program with Show or Dalip Singh for a while.

Now that Batista is a Heel again... I.... I actually kinda like him again.
Not because he's awesome and has become dramatically better in the ring or anything. He still manages to suck and blow at the same time. It's because I still can't take him seriously which makes the fact he's meant to be a big, badass heel hillarious.
That run down to the ring in the Rumble?? Come on! Priceless!
Of course there's the millions of comical faces he keeps pulling.
And you gotta love his fashion sense recently since heeling it up. Some of the ensembles he's come out wearing really do scream "I am a badass! Fear me!"
Yep. I definitely mark out when Batista is on my screen now adays!

It's the nose ring. It screams "DOUCHE". He should totally be on Jersey Shore.

Batista is one of my favorite wrestlers. He always entertains me in the ring and on the mic.

I love him as a heel, he just fits it perfectly.
As a face though, not so much.

I have no problem with Batista.
Big Dave says some dumb things every now and then, and he does tend to dog it some times.
Book him as a killer though and give him an opponent he has to work 'up to' and he can do tremendous things. The man's had too many good matches to be as useless as his critics suggest.

I don't really *dislike* Batista, as much of how slow he moves now is likely due to the affects of past injuries combined with his size, but I can't get into him from a "genuine" standpoint.
For me, the difference between him and someone like Cena is that I enjoy Batista in an "ironic" way. His persona is so uber-macho with the tattoos and glaring that it makes his frequent miscues funnier- whereas while Cena isn't exactly a wallflower, there's a down-to-earth aspect that makes it easier for me to cheer him on, if that makes sense.

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. The only reason Dolph Ziggler looked good was because Batista let him do all of the work. Any wrestler could make a talented wrestler look good by not doing anything.

Batista can make a difference. He was tired of everyone thinking that he was stupid, and he didn't like all these jokes. To end the injustice, he decided to prove to the world that he was smart. In order to prove himself, he chose to memorize the capital of every American state. It wasn't an easy task, but he was determined and eventually managed to do it. A few days later he was in a bar, and heard a couple of smarks laughing at a Batista joke. This was the perfect opportunity to start righting all the wrongs that had been done to him in the past - he would set these IWC goofs straight! Marching over at a rapid pace Batista announced, "It isn't true that I am stupid, and I will prove it. Just ask me the capital of any American state, and I will tell you what it is." Although a little surprised, the men did challenge him and asked, "Ok, how about California?" Batista, after pausing for a moments thought, proudly gave the answer, "C"!
