Lol I remember a few years back on this forum nearly everyone went along with the crowd and completely s****ed on Batista. Now it looks like that changed. Anyways I always supported Batista in every act he did. Easily my top 3 faves of all time. Upset to here this. Looks like his in ring career is officially over. During an interview promoting Bond he said he'd love to come back and work house shows. That way he could work matches and not deal with the bookers.

People like to insult Batista, but the guy clearly has a great mind for the business. He knows what draws and how things should play out. It's too bad nobody else in the company does. I'm glad Batista's acting career was able to skyrocket. It must have felt great for him to turn Vince down multiple times to return at Wrestlemania this year knowing that his career is going extremely well now and he doesn't need to go back to the company that laughed at him for thinking he could make it big outside of wrestling.

Few more notes... People keep saying Triple H & Steph are out of touch because they didn't expected GOTG to be big. But to be fair, many "experts" predicted that GOTG would be Marvel's first flop. It wasn't expected to do well. But once word of mouth reviews were out, it became a run away train. A very well deserved hit. I loved it. I've always been a big Batista fan. And for the most part I enjoyed his return. I even like the Bluetista look. The only thing I hated was the super skinny jeans and the very small jacket... ... IMO that look doesn't work well for someone who is perceived as a bad ass. I think the fact he was scheduled for a WWE title match did him no favors. Had they booked him to return and face Triple H or someone in a grudge match, I think fans would have supported him more. Fans only wanted Bryan in the title match and they would have booed anyone who got in the way. Ask Rey Mysterio.

I loved that he wore Skinny Jeans. He does it in real life and it fit his Douchey character so well.
Imagine him and Jericho dressing like they do and cutting some ridiculous promo together. It would be gold.

I'd be down for it, although I'd love to see him back on regular tv with a proper final run.

Wow I feel really bad for him. Guy wants a little creative input and to be liked by fans and gets shat on by everyone. Now I'm going to revisit his 2014 run.

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. In all honesty, we probably have.. He gave it one more shot in 2014 and it didn't go so well, he knows it and he's speaking out about how bad it was.. Him being 100% done wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.. Especially with the movie roles dude has been stacking up on.

I was a huge supporter of his 2014 return. It's a shame what the smarky crowds can do.

I was never a big Batista fan, nor will I pretend to be. But I will say this, I'm so damn happy for him to have had all the success he is having in Hollywood. He was definitely wronged by the WWE & in the end, I feel like he came out on top.

Batista was like a pretty big deal for 5 or so years. Baffles me that they would treat a legit top guy who scored an important role in one of Hollywoods biggest films of 2014 like a scrub.
