I don't really watch Smackdown, but I always read jokes about it so I have to ask: What is the deal with Batista and Basketballs?

Basically, back in July, Khali and his manager cut a promo against Batista, where Khali crushed a basketball (which was meant to be Batista's head).
Anyway, Batista said that "unlike Basketballs, I hold grudges" or something, and the legend was born.

That's actually the first time I've watched that, and I laughed.
Then I read the comments, and I wept for humanity.

Also, you have to remember, not only are weapons allowed...they're encouraged.

I didn't see the big deal honestly. But seeing as Batista isn't a popular person around these parts, any little thing he does gets magnified and scrutinized to the highest degree.

I just think it's an unintentionally funny promo. I will fully admit that Batista probably had nothing to do with it, since that promo was probably written by the actual writers. I doubt Batista actually came up with it. Still it's just funny to say, especially with all those photoshopped pictures of Batista being afraid of basketballs and everything.
It's kinda like Bathturd. I don't think Lashley really talks with a lisp, but the word "bathturd" sounds funny and it apparently caught on.
