Batista Not Returning Any Time Soon

[Jose Tortilla]

02-20-2012

Former WWE Superstar Batista recently spoke with The Sun. Here are some highlights:

Why he left WWE: "The reason I left was the PG direction the company took, it got too corny for me. I was a hug fan of the edgy era of DX, Stone Cold Steve Austin and those guys. The change in direction really ruined it for me. It's well recorded I'm not a fan of the likes of John Cena or The Miz. It's such a different company these days and not in a good way."

Turning down Tough Enough: "I've no plans to return anytime soon. I was offered the job of working on Tough Enough, I just didn't think it was for me. I hear it went well with Steve Austin and good luck to them. I need to be excited by a project and I didn't feel that way about Tough Enough."

Returning to WWE: "If I did return to the WWE, it would be for a run not just a one-shot deal. I'd have to be a constant for them not someone who drifts in and out to boost ratings. If I did I'd love to work with Triple H again or Undertaker. They are the best workers there in my opinion and they'd make it worthwhile to return. The show would have to change though, so I can't see my return being anytime soon can you?"

Batista Not Returnin Any Time Soon

This interview was ages ago. I mentioned this when I said it's unlikely he'll return tonight.

 

[Jose Tortilla]

Lmao, 'ages'. 3 months ago..

3 months is a long time in the wrestling business. Brock Lesnar in UFC mentioned about never returning or something near his fight with Alistair IIRC, then look.

Yeah but he hates the PG and how John is the main man.

Both of the above is still there..

TBH, Batista will find it hard to resist coming back when Rock is main-eventing instead of John Cena. :dawg:

 

[Jose Tortilla]

Good one, Rock vs Batista would be awesome.

 

[Lockard 23]

Brock/Batista would be more awesome.

 

[Jose Tortilla]

Sure, we'll see..

Yes it's kind of beast. Proof that Batista is not just an animal in the ring. I thought I was crazy for not liking the miz since everyone on this forum is on his bandwagon. I like batista, he appeals to me. not fucking miz. :dawg:

 

[Lockard 23]

Nope, you're not alone. I hate The Miz, too. Batista over Miz any day.

 

[haidar7]

if this is true, then is the worst news in 2012 to me

No way.

 

[Donald Trump_]

No way.

Eww. You like the Miz. The Animal Batista > The reality star or whatever the fuck he is the miz. plus the miz sounds like some kind of weird fly or something. "I got bit by a miz last night." :dawg: Batista on the other hard sounds like the name of some beastly bull. "Holy shit its batista, RUN" :dawg: Batista > The jiz
