The spinebuster was botched to fuck and then he hit a powerbomb, not a 'Batista bomb'.

Did he shave his eyebrows off or something? Because his face looked weird to me. I don't know if he has fat cheeks now or if it's the eyebrows. But his whole head just looked so strange to me, I can't even look at him like the same person. And I agree with Stopspot. Batista is much better as a heel.

After the way he left, I'm not able to buy into him as a face.

It was like he came out and it was like 'yup, that's Batista" and Cole was like 'ITS BEEN 4 YEARS...!' and you go 'huh, 4 years, that's it then? well...' then he just stands there, then he barely talks and doesn't do a great job of it when he did.

zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Pretty sure Cole's reaction was, "Go on twitter and hashtag Batista'sBack #Batista'sBack"

I was infintely more entertained by DK losing his mind in the LD than Batista's actual return. It was really lame.

Bunch of haters. You can all go perish. Nah, since I was extremely excited for his return (I mean extremely, I marked too hard.) it was everything I wanted. Looking at it from everyone else's perspective as non-Batista face fans, I can see why you wouldn't like it.

Fuck this, as long as he was back then I don't give a shit. Batista's the fucking man either way.

I was very disappointed, and I was trying hard to be optimistic too. I've only seen videos, though, I didn't see Raw itself. But seriously; confronts Orton? Attacks Del Rio? Not the most effective way to book an engaging return. He seemed really small too. Orton looks like a star for once standing beside him.

He looked small until his shirt came off. Then his arms looked the same size as Lesnar's.

I was disappointed in the eurostar look, not sure what was with the skinny jeans tbh
however when he fuckin batista bombed ADR it was awesome, no disrespect to ADR he's a hard worker and a great addition to the WWE but you shouldn't talk shit to Batista for no reason.

Don't know why people were even expecting much. I never thought Batista was all that great, and he's definitely no Rock/Lesnar. 4/10

It was actually my first time I seen him live on TV so didn't really have any expectation like some

I predicted it to be shit and I wasn't disappointed. He really is bland as a face and whatever the fuck he was wearing looked awful. I hate to be so pessimistic but I couldn't care less for Batista atm. In fact, Orton's promo last night >>>>>>>>>> Batista's.
