May as well ask this... The concept of "Getting your win back" from the perspective of the fans... Am I supposed to believe that if Triple H beats Batista in 2019, that the feud they had in 2005 when Batista beat him clean three straight times doesn't count? It totally counts. Triple H just wants to go over on him at Mania too, especially now that it will mean more since Batista is a big Hollywood star now.

That might be the most limp attempt at a horrific heel beatdown I've ever seen. Batista walks into a room, you hear a small banging, then he drags Flair two feet and Ric lays there grunting. THE END! We need a gif of the Looney Tunes outro with the red circles, THAT'S ALL FOLKS and a series of Batista faces (or, mainly the really happy Batista face). Please? In my head Sting payed off Big Dave. I'd pay serious money to have someone alter the cosmos so that as HHH was leaping out of the ring, Sting was just cutting a piece of the cake for himself in the background.

Also can we just stop and appreciate that they flew out Shawn Michaels, Ricky Steamboat, and Sting just to have them stand there while a video package played?

This is all a convoluted ploy to betray Sting.

Steamboat: "How could you eat at a time like this?" Sting: "F*** Flair. That man turned on me like 23 times. I'm just here for the cake." *eats cake* "EWWWWWW!!!! It's got strawberry filling in the middle." *Sting in a fit of rage pulls out old piece of paper that says FLAIR SWERVES, grabs pen and writes "24) BAD CAKE 2/25/19", then takes Flair's custom title and goes home*

Why, exactly, did Batista need to beat up old man Flair, to get Triple H to fight him? He could have just turned up and said NXT sucks.

Honestly, I hate this.
Now Batista's been one of my all-time favorite wrestlers. I was a fan of his before his Douchetista run. I been a fan during his monster babyface push from 2005 - 2009 when many hated him. Hell, Batista is the reason I joined this board, I signed up to protest that stupid (and thankfully short lived) Basketball Jones joke. So you'd think I'd be happy to see Big Dave back.
But I don't. I have no interest in seeing another match with Triple H. I don't want to see another full time wrestler get bumped from their spot on the WrestleMania card to make room for this match. At least in during his last run in 2014 he mixed it up with Daniel Bryan and the Shield. Now he just fighting his buddy just so Hunter can get his win back and then he'll probably be gone again. Its a waste of time if you ask me.

I was surprised at how realistically they shot it. There weren't any unnecessary camera cuts or cameras already in places they shouldn't be. This should be talked about more. It all felt very real specially with Batista getting a camera guy

I saw the angle and I thought it was hot, tbh.
Flair really looked f***ed up when he got dragged. Like Batista damn choked the life out of mans.
Production wise, stellar stuff. Very different than anything else on Raw in a long while.
That was great. Real life super villain stuff. In my head, I heard, “Join is Next Time on Monday Night Raw. Same time, same Raw channel!”

It all felt very real specially with Batista getting a camera guy That’s what I took from it. No camera shot inside the room etc (like how overproduced some of the Braun stuff was) It looked like one of the more realistic attacks in recent times. Plus it meant he didn’t actually need to make Ric bump too much.

Batista could have started a campaign where he posts pictures of himself with NXT guys giving the thumbs down with a frown while tagging Trips. Also he's like the one guy in Evolution who hasn't bloodied up Ric bakstage. Maybe he just felt left out.

I think if it'd been the other way around with HHH attacking Flair (not that heel HHH isn't played out), reactions might be different. Batista's beaten him a few times so he has nothing to prove, it'd make sense for HHH to resort to that because those losses just keep eating at him.

Sorry. Love everything about this. Maybe not the endgame, but I loved this. It combines celebrity, surprise, sadness, viciousness, intrigue, joy (beforehand), wrestling starpower, and it was legit his bday.
I loved it. I am also a huge Batista mark.

If Batista is the heel, I want full on Douchetista. I want him bullying PAs and insulting fans appearances. And give him his f***ing spotlight. One last run for one of my favorite wrestling characters ever.

I like how Batista beats the shit out of Flair which is shown on the titantron and HHH is the only one that runs to the back while the entire roster is on the aisleway much closer to the action. They all just watch him run down the aisle and stand there twiddling their thumbs.
