He can put on good matches when he wants to. I loved all of his tag matches with Evolution, and his matches with Undertaker have been proven to be good. It all depends on who he is against. People don't like him because he's big and muscular, and that seems to be the stereotype for you to automatically be a bad wrestler.

Is it just me who sees a completely different Batista to what everyone on WF is seeing ?
To me, he looks like he doesn't care about the fans, doesn't care about his matches, and just has a general bad attitude. And he's become boring, stale and a far worse wrestler than before his injury. He's just lucky he's a big guy or he should have been gone by now.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
I use to hate the guy, Like 2004-2005, I couldn't even watch the guy. He was so damn terrible.
But since he came back from injury, I've grown to like him a bit. His matches with Taker at Mania was MOTY in my book, Backlash, Steel Cage in the 'Burgh, Cyber Sunday and SvrS were all great. His matches with Edge were good to.
Maybe Taker changed his mindset on the biz, and if he did well, hats off to Taker.
P.S. Whoever said he was like the Cena of SD is intellectually- disabled. At least with Batista, they book him to lose every few months, unlike Cena it was like every few years.

I agree that Batista is completely underrated but in my opinion, he does suffer from "Booker T-itis" in that he tends to work up and down to his competition. When he's competing against a talented top star, like Undertaker, Edge, Finlay, or Mysterio (rarely), the matches are good-to-great. He even works well with Mr. Kennedy. But when he's forced to wrestle against Mark Henry, Khali, or Booker T, the same passion and fire just isn't there. Kane suffers from the same thing. I wouldn't say Batista is the product of being carried, his opponent just happens to dictate his motivation.
