Ugh. We're really doing the "he's the face" nonsense? Dude attacked Flair to start this thing. He's the heel To be fair who hasn't beaten up Ric Flair? Ok so Batista took a bit longer to do it then HHH, Orton, or others but its the thing to do |

This was also a great call back to the go-home RAW for Wrestlemania 21, where Batista sang Flair's praises and then all he said to Triple H was "you're an asshole"

Also, aside from all that being true, a little movie called "Avengers: Endgame" is being heavily promoted and many fans love them some Drax the Destroyer. Like me. I ain't booing Drax in favor of Ray Bradstone. That magical moment when your post talking about Marvel is #616.  Hey I'm not the only one that uses the Pretty In Pink theme. |

Fantastically done. The video package said what needed to be said, and Big Dave added the exclamation point in terrific Douchetista fashion.
God, isn't it just so f***ing refreshing when they get to the point? I was also pleasantly surprised that Steph didn't ramble on for a half an hour at the beginning of the show -- she cracked a self-aware joke, made the announcement and bounced. Hubby probably asked her why she cut it 15 minutes short.

I loved that. A video showing Batista being awesome, followed by "Kiss my ass" with a smile and mic drop. Batista is one of my favorite characters ever.

I still have a feeling they're going to do her vs. Becky at SummerSlam, but in the meantime I'll try to enjoy dorky mom Steph showing up, cutting to the chase and leaving. |

What I don’t get is why Dave wants to fight HHH. HHH never beat him. He’s the one who should have called him out to avenge his losses.

I can't deny that, but the problem is that in the grand scheme of things, they've done nothing to make Hunter even remotely a face. Ever. If you really look at the story, it's "An asshole is suddenly a good guy because some other asshole beat up his mentor, who's an old asshole" |

We don't deserve Batista. The man's a legend! I did have a thought, about how people are wondering how he's the face, after attacking Ric... remember, Ric's the "dirtiest player in the game". The party could've been seen as H putting himself over, instead of honoring Flair, so, he had Dave help him "plan" an attack. I could also be wrong.  |

Brilliantly showing (especially considering his opponents reputation) that less is more.

We should hate HHH due to the valid points made here. But that would take continuity into account and WWE has less of that than a newly talking toddler.

It was perfect.
The same people come out and do variations of the same long winded, overly wordy promos every week. This felt so incredibly fresh in comparison.

Just give him a weekly segment where he tells us what person he wants to kiss his ass this week. I’ll never complain about Raw again.

Because HHH is the toughest, strongest, richest, sexiest, most hung, ultimate ass kicking machine that everyone wants to face. But seriously, yeah this storyline wrote itself. Batista makes a comment about HHH never beating him, Trips becomes obsessed with finally beating the one guy he couldn’t, and there’s your match. Instead, Batista comes back after success in Hollywood and asks for a match with a guy he destroyed 14 years ago, and it’s Trips that has to be talked into it. Ridiculous. But whatever. Dave wanted this, unfortunately. |
