I'm almost positive Rey was Batista's personal chew toy after the turn. I know Dave demolished him at Survivor Series. That's why I never got the hate people had for Rey when he was one of the top guys in WWE. He had no problem looking vulnerable. In that clip the OP posted he's all but begging for his life. What other top face is going to do that? I was curious how this feud went so went and checked  Batista destroyed Rey at Survivor Series and beat him on Smackdown in a street fight. But then Rey beat Batista in #1 contenders match, had a NC in another #1 contenders match and then beat Batista again in a Steel Cage #1 contenders match which ended the feud. So he didn't job as much to Rey as I thought but still, heel Batista should have destroyed Rey every time they met. |

If Batista came back I would watch religiously. I love that guy. Same here....he's the only guy who my wife will watch wrestle on TV (rarely does she ever watch the sport), and as a heel or face, I'll always mark for Big Dave |

Batista was born to be a douche. It was so wonderful. Not to brag, but I'm glad I got to see this in person and watch the Mysterio fans freak out |

The best part about Big Dave's heel run was that he was willing to be massively uncool about it. He's not good at having the smooth, snarky charm that cool heels do, so he could say the exact same things that they might, but just come off as a big lame man-bitch about it (where the 'cool' heel would come across as meticulously tearing the other guy apart with his words).
The demanding a literal spotlight, the salmon-colored shirts, the douche sunglasses... it all came together perfectly.

Watching it now, I friggin love it. Absolutely perfect. But back then, I was so tired of Batista... existing in general, that I couldn't really enjoy it.

Good thing he did not say he is in hell. |

Still consider it to be one of the best heel turns ever. Same with the run,of course.

Batista's heel run may be the most creatively satisfying turn WWE has done since I started watching again in '06. I've not before or since been so into a character.

When I saw that, I was totally sold on the turn. |

This is how it's going to go down at the Elimination Chamber with Sin Cara, with Cara pointing furiously. |
