While I do agree that he needs to hang up the boots, in this situation Batista only wants to wrestle him.
Also worth noting is the fact that he was in arguably the best match of last years Mania.

I don't mind the match, I'm just interested in seeing what Batista's explanation will be. I know he said he wants his last match to be with HHH, but in kayfabe he has already proven that he owns HHH, so I'm not sure why he's so desperate for it.

See I don't understand the complaint about Hunter at Mania cause... it's not like he wins. Tho rather then Dave I would have rather seen him go against Ambrose to complete him feuding with each member of the Shield at Mania,plus his Roadblock match with Dean was damn good. Except against Lesnar right in the middle of Lesnar's Beast rise, in a win that honestly took a lot of shine off Lesnar and required the Streak breaking to really solidify him as a monster again. And against Sting, in an absolute clusterf*** waste of Sting's only Mania match that ended with the idiotic "I respect you HHH" post-match wankshake. HHH has had some good matches at Mania- but in the last ten years all his decent matches save the Daniel Bryan one have been the exact same match and the exact same formula- shortcuts from the get-go, weapons, stall-brawling, outside interference, finishers, weapons, the finish. The first Taker match was the best execution of it and since then it's been diminishing returns on the exact same match. His matches with Sheamus and Orton were atrocious, his match with Roman sucked, the Rousey tag was pretty much entirely on Ronda being better than people expected, and if he couldn't have a good Mania match with Bryan when Bryan was at his absolute peak and the best in the world, then he had no business wrestling anymore. It's gonna be an okay brawl, it's also gonna be identical to all of HHH's other No DQ brawls that edit around his limitations as a worker, and it's a match formula I'm tired of. I don't care about "The Spectacle!!" of HHH/Batista- I'll stick on WM21 for that, back when yknow, it was relevant. There is no spectacle to seeing this again. I'd far rather Batista face Lesnar in the match that never happened, or Braun, or Joe, or literally anybody he hasn't faced before. And HHH can just sit this one out for me.

I get it. I'm a Hunter (and Stephanie for that matter) mark, I have been since I was 16 and it's one of the one few constants in my life. I've only ever booed him one time and that was against Seth.

Part of it I think is that people would rather see that spot go to someone current. I generally don't mind him being involved in WM except for 2016 when he was Champion and main eventing with Roman. There was no excuse for that. I'll agree with that. Tho that entrance is my personal favorite because he and Steph went full ham with the Authority routine Stephanie looked like she was down for the nasty that night.

Triple H's matches go on longer than they should. Triple H's promos go on longer than they should. So it's appropriate that his in-ring career also goes on longer than it really should

I've been saying that Triple H needs to go away since 1996.

I'm a huge Hunter fan and don't think he needs to hang it up. He doesn't need to be the main focus anymore or ever again, but I'm always going to be a fan of the guy.
That said, I'm not afraid to criticize him when he's wrong or he's lying, which he does plenty of both.

My thoughts on HHH:
Damn, homie. In high school, you was the man, homie.

Does any fan honestly even demand there is a HHH match at every Wrestlemania? Like if it didn’t happen would there even be an ounce of disappointment?

Triple H v Batista would be great as a short, sharp, overbooked clusterf*** drag-out brawl.
Give 'em 20 minutes for entrances and a 6-minute match, and you've got a great Wrestlemania moment (TM).
The major turn-offs for me are only that a) this is going to take up a disproportionate amount of TV time in the build-up, and b) their previous time-management doesn't make me confident of getting my wish of a short match where Trips is concerned (see Jewel, Crown).
