Batista can work pretty good with senior guys of the company, specially people associated with Triple H (i.e. Shawn Michaels) This is the start of a great feud, the build-up is just about perfect and the storyline coming into this rivalry is good as well.
Batista is great as a heel no doubt, he has the looks, the voice and just about everything that a good heel character needs. I'm really looking forward to this Shawn Michaels/ Batista feud with The Animal as a heel.
It's going to go down as another great rivalry. Batista-HHH, Batista-Taker all were pretty good and this one won't be any less. But the thing to point out is that whenever Batista has been in a major feud he has been a babyface, he was one with HHH and was a tweener with Undertaker. So basically this is something innovative and I'm looking forward to it.
