Seriously though with Big Dave going down tonight I think he's literally the only guy Hunter hasn't got his win back on. Even the other guys he jobbed to in his WCW days like Johnny B. Badd and "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes he got back when they came to WWF with different gimmicks. Alex coming in and being hyped as the only guy Triple H has never beat just so Hunter can beat him at WrestleMania 36 to soothe his ego would be super hilarious. I'm pretty sure this is why they hired Fabian Aichner. If you can't get the man, you get his protege. I'd love to think that Hunter calls Alex Wright every day begging him to come back for a one shot just so he can get his win back and Alex is just like "no I'm good". Then eventually he just sent his protégé for him to beat as a compromise so Hunter would stop calling him. |

Must be pretty sweet to be Batista right now. He looked great last night. In ring he is done but hope we see him again on tv sometime.

But that's one he's just going to have to let go of. "Hmmmm...I DO have a shovel though..." |

He looks retired since 2015.

His last match was way less embarrassing than it could have been, and in his 2014 run his matches were fine or even good with the right opponent.
If he has really hung it up, he did it will and at a good time. I look forward to his eventual HOF induction.

Batista is great. Glad to see him go out on his terms, and at the right time. There’s no reason for him to ever have another match.

This place wouldn’t be what it is without Big Dave. He is our muse. Godspeed you meme generating, exquisitely dressed god of a man.

If he was retiring anyway irl...why was only HHH's career on the line in kayfabe? With all the talk of Dave quitting by HHH, surely they could have had HHH yell something about, 'you don't get to quit this time, I get to retire you'?

The match was a typical overly long HHH slog, but I enjoyed Batista's stuff during the build. I'd like if he stuck around a bit longer, but he's quite the busy dude. At least he gave us the greatest promo of all time before leaving.

He said this was his final match in one of his last promos and has made it clear in outside of kayabe stuff for years too that this was the only match he was going to do so putting his career on the line would have been completely pointless in kayfabe. As for them not going over the top with the "this is Batista's final match" advertising I'd guess it's because they were already using that for Angle. |

Ah ok, I've been skipping most of raw so never knew he already announced he was leaving anyway. Still feels like a waste, but yes, Angle was retiring too. |

We didn't deserve Big Dave.
Can't wait for his Hall of Fame induction.

Okay, f*** everybody, if he can get Wright in for a match, I'd lose my shit for that. Seriously though with Big Dave going down tonight I think he's literally the only guy Hunter hasn't got his win back on. Even the other guys he jobbed to in his WCW days like Johnny B. Badd and "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes he got back when they came to WWF with different gimmicks. Alex coming in and being hyped as the only guy Triple H has never beat just so Hunter can beat him at WrestleMania 36 to soothe his ego would be super hilarious. He also never beat Bryan. |

Blew my mind when I found out Alex Wright's still only 43. Alex came over, I wanna say, at 17. |
