These are some points from an interview he recently did with MLW radio regarding his return in 2014 and his movie career.

Well Guardians ended up being a hit, you know they felt like crapafter. Sad to see how he felt about his return

WWE can crapon Batista all they want. He'll always be one of my favourites, no matter what.

I wondered why Bryan's selling was so awful and non-existent that night. It's such a strange command for creative to give for a little underdog guy, but the night was still awesome.
I love Hunter and Steph being clueless about how big Guardians was gonna be. It's a shame Dave didn't do SummerSlam. I hope they can iron out the snags for him to have one more little run.

I feel bad for how Batista was treated. Judging from what he said about his 2014 run, I doubt Batista would be willing to come back for one more. It's a shame too because despite the whole WM30 situation, Batista's run was actually pretty good. He was putting on good matches, and was entertaining as a heel.

That makes me really happy for him that he found success outside of wrestling. Sounds like he swallowed quite a few bitter pills and still stayed professional.

Sucks about the 2010 stuff, but I dont feel bad about 2014. Batista had plenty of moments. This was Bryans.

This thread only confirmed how out of touch the higher ups in WWW are.
- Like anybody was going to cheer for a face outside of Daniel Bryan. Vince, maybe one time you could've put anything in front of the fans and they would've eaten it up. Not anymore.
- It makes no sense to no sell even though I wanted Bryan to win. Even when the right person goes over, I still don't like how.
- Scripting promos only hurt superstars not help them.
- This is my favorite. Steph and Hunter actually laughed about Guardians of the Galaxy and that it wouldn't be any good? I'm sorry, when was the last time a WWE movie achieved even a fraction of the success Guardians did?

I feel sorry for him because Vince completely misused him and was out of touch. Just like Roman Reigns for the past year and a half.
But maybe they just aren't cut out to be the super popular babyface these days. The guys the fans love the WWE tries to hold back and instead push "their" guys. It just sucks all around.
Batista is a little bit crabby, though. He can't blame the fans for booing him when they wanted Daniel Bryan to win, no matter what Vince and company did to try and shove DB down the card.

Hindsight is 20/20
If I was booking I probably would've had Dave be a face too

Plus it makes no sense that Cena and Reigns would always be booked as underdogs. Ambrose and Bryan are much more believable as underdogs. When I used to play GM Mode on Smackdown vs. Raw I could push whoever I wanted and they'd get over. The real world doesn't work like that. |

Vince doesn't live in the same world we do. Judging from things said by Hunter and Steph, they're drinking the same Kool Aid. |

Man, WWE did this guy dirty. It's a miracle he even came back for the Evolution stuff. LMFAO at Triple H and Stephanie not thinking Guardians would do well. I mean even marginal success for that movie would have meant way more success than WWE is even capable of on a weekly basis. Egg on the face. That's scary though. It's one thing for Vince to be out of touch on stuff like that but it's now Triple H's job to have his finger on the pulse of pop culture.
I don't really agree with him on The Shield split though. That was kind of their last thing to do imo, and I thought the matches were incredible. Bluetista ruled. Don't wear awesome outfits if you don't want people to talk about them. I do think he has good chemistry with Ziggler.
They really did screw up his entire return. Most of the internet wanted Heeltista. WWE did all that stuff to themselves and Batista was the collateral damage of the Yes Movement.

The fans are just as much to blame as much as WWE was. They never appreciate anything till after the fact.
GOTG is one of the best movies ever IMO. Batista got the last laugh.
Breaking the Shield up was a little premature IMO.
Hopefully, we haven't seen the last of Big Dave in the WWE.

It was all just bad timing and stupid booking by WWE. They did get it right bringing him back as a face, but it was wrong for them to have him win the royal rumble and do their best to make sure DB didn't get his moment. WWE could have done anything with batista when he returned, they didn't need to put him in the main event that straight away.
It also really didn't help that CM Punk had just walked out and in walks another part timer who we all know Vince loved from day 1.
I'd like to see him come back again because he is great character heel or face. The circumstances were just really unfortunate for him at the time. Any other year he could have walked into the main event scene, just not the one where the fans are literally fighting with the company to see their guy win the big one.
