Yeah, the book is no where near the IWC evil monstrocity everyone thought it was going to be, since everyone knows Batista personally and all.
The book is decent to pretty good, from what I've read of it anyway. He spends alot of time in the book telling the truth, according to him anyway, and he's as much of a critic of himself as he is of others, not that he spends that much time in the book bashing people. As a matter of fact, the only person I saw that he truley bashed was sarge buddy lee parker.

So I assume that "chapter" where he supposedly admits to nailing Melina is BS?

People are actually reading it? That a surprise to me. I went to my local Barnes & Noble to pick up the Jericho book, and noticed that there were several copies of the Batista book in the wrong places, as though someone had picked them up and thumbed through them(to look at tthe pictures no doubt) and then just shoved them back on the shelf wherever they saw fit. So this proves of course that all Batista fans are illiterate ass hats.

As said several times in the past, sarcasm doesn't translate well to text. I'm not a Batista fan, but the guy does have fans. I know it's hard for some to believe, but it's true. |

Its not that hard to believe. Jerry Springer still has a show, The Scary Epic Date Movie franchise still makes money, and Soulja Boy is a star.My point? There are always plenty of people who enjoy worthless crap. |

I walked into the bookstore and said, "Hey there's Batsita's book!.....right next to Bret Hart's book. Gee, which one do I buy? Hmmmmmm, tough choice. Gotta go with Bret." Then I ordered Jericho's as I was buying Bret's.

Actually your wrong. Instead of listing the Scary Date movies as crap you should have listed the Bring It On series of flicks which is up to at least part six and still going--I mean really how many times can you "Bring it on"? Oh and then there is the American Pie series that is still going, and let us not forget the kids! Those Land Before Time movies are up to the eighteenth sequel and are still getting pumped out.
And we cannot forget the Sandlot--the first was a great movie--but then they had to add girls to the "team" to be more politically correct, and the latest movie has them time traveling! y'know when a somewhat realistic movie with a few fictional bits here and there turns into a time-travel movie it's time to hang it up. But I doubt they will--another is likely in the works.

I thought it was pretty good. I was surprised that everything he said about the history of wrestling was factually correct. No, you're totally wrong. Batista's book sucks, it's disrespectful to the business and to its history. He's a piece of worthless crap and he'd get fired. P.S. of course I haven't read a line of his book, and I won't do that anyway. But I KNOW it's like I said. P.P.S.  |

I'm not really a fan of the guy's work (even before all the backstage innuendo) so I have no interest in the book as a whole. I do wonder what he says about his time in OVW though.
Oh, and I hafta agree that I think the Scary Movie/Date/Whatever movies suck ass. But that's only my opinion.

Hence my hatred for customers |

The good thing about Batista's book is that we here at Wrestlecrap are getting it for free! Sooner or later every sentence from his book will be posted here and analyzed!
