"Batista claimed that the fans cheated themselves during his last WWE run, as they were concerned with chanting about things that did not pertain to the entertainment going on in the squared circle instead of watching the show.
"That whole run in particular was just… I mean, it even started with an uphill battle." Batista continued, "but the thing that really frustrated me and confused me was just the crowd, man. I didn't get it. They were just so focused on what wasn't there in front of them that they lost sight of what was there in front of them. And I felt like they cheated themselves. I mean, no matter what was going on, and not even just with my matches, but with a lot of the other matches, it was 'Daniel Bryan' chants and 'yes! Yes! Yes!' and 'CM Punk' chants. And I'm like, 'you're missing some really good wrestling here. This is, like, good stuff, man!'"
Batista called the WWE Universe "unfocused" and it confused him that they would pay to go to a show they were not watching.
"I felt like they were the most unfocused group of fans I ever encountered," Batista reflected. "And it was just really, really confusing to me because I couldn't even understand why they're there. Why are they paying their money to come watch a show that they're not even watching? It just baffled me."

I am not sure why he was confused by this. There is something that happens in large numbers of people. I am sure there is a word for it but they tend to find something agreeable, enjoyable, or funny and want to take part in it. So when people chant for CM Punk, it has nothing to do with CM Punk, but it is the fans way of saying "We wan't something different" and I guess Batisa don't like hearing that. The "Yes! Yes! Yes!" chants started with Daniel Bryan but the WWE marketed it and now it is no different from Stone Cold's "What?". Just because they chant these things without said wrestler around, doesn't mean they are completely unfocused. Batisa sounds like a self-absorbed tool.
