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. Ciampa not giving a shit about any of it was my favorite thing about that segment. Didn't even clap for any of the legends being brought out. lol |

I like both HHH and Batista but there’s no way in hell this match should go the usual 30 minutes that H’s matches go. I’d say 10-12 tops would be good. That’s all on Triple H’s ego. He thinks he can put on captivating epic matches, but he can’t. I wanna see Batista squash him. Now that would be memorable and fun. Instead we are getting forgettable and dull, I’m afraid. Prove me wrong,Hunter! |

Segment was cool because Batista is Batista, but I absolutely cannot even pretend to be invested in an angle where Triple H is the babyface in 2019. Like, unless there's a double turn at some point, I'm out. Life's too short for entire segments of Triple H snarling in to the microphone and mumbling DAVE YOU LEFT THIS BUSINESS AND RAN TO HOLLYWOOD

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! He clearly beat up Flair prior to getting the cameraman. |

He clearly beat up Flair prior to getting the cameraman. I mean, yeah, but it's the presentation of it. To me it came off completely hollow and lazy. And sure, might be a workaround for Flair not being able to do it, but if he can't do it then come up with some other way to tell your story. |

It brought us him with a blue nose ring tonight. |

I hate how hunter can't look weak, so his friends have to get beat up to give an illusion that he's vulnerable. Usually its HBK getting beaten up, tonight it was his hero. And I'm supposed to cheer hunter?

Other than Triple H being the face I loved it. Fantastic reveal with the wide shot, just long enough for people to be like "wait a minute, is that..?"

I think big Daves going over, can't see him wanting to do the job when his Hollywood star is rising and 2019 is shaping up to be a big year for him with the final avengers movie.
Also Brock needs a post mania feud and someone has to take the belt off him (sorry Seth, not seeing it).

And I'm supposed to cheer hunter? I think it's less that Triple H can't look weak and more that he can't be sympathized with. Having him avenge someone else helps distract from all the horrible shit he's done to warrant everything that happens to him personally. |

I love Batista and he might be a decent draw. This Mania will hopefully be way less heavy on part-timers this year from the looks of things too, so it's not as aggravating as usual. Plus heel Batista is a bundle of fun.

I was always fine with the match, who goes over at the end is hilariously unimportant anyway and both really wanted to do it.
Throw in the Avengers tie-in promo and it should get some decent attention, even if the match is kinda middling. I agree that doing a big brawl is their best chance for something worthwhile.
It was a bit goofy, but hey - it's Batista.

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? Judging by some of the reactions in this thread... yes, I guess. |

I dont see why it couldnt be Killer Kross or a newer superstar. You want to build new top-tier main eventers for years to come or make the fans the authority, you would put Killer Kross there immediately with the red X card on Flair.

I'm all for more heel Batista, it's usually entertaining.

I'm just amazed they are running Batista vs. Triple H, with Batista as the heel. You're amazed-uh? That Papa H-uh, is the face-uh!? Maybe Batista wanted to be heel? Nah, I'm sure it's just HHH being a jerk and intentionally making us sad |
