And tonight on Raw, the match ended in DQ. I'm sorry, but Batista has lost, out of all those shows, there is only one or two matches where Batista loses cleanly wthout some sort of excuse to why he lost. It's freakin ridiculous. And he constantly is in championship matches for wait for it, 'his' championship, give someone else a shot! Well, that's my little rant on the way Batista is booked. I'm really sick of it too.

Just the way the biz works... I know it's frustrating the impact it can have on the matches some times, but it's about character preservation.

I'm sure if you did a list like that for other stars they wouldn't look much better....

Hogan, Honkytonk Man (check the guy's stats!!!)... Or more recently, Austin once he'd hit the ME, Cena, Taker... I can't remember Bret Hart taking a clean losss either apart from Summerslam92.


Not saying it's not possible to take losses and stay on top, but it's a lot easier for a heel (which is why HHH, Flair and such have not suffered so bad from their catalogue of losses).

Yeah, but another reason those stats piss me off is the fact after EVERY one of those matches, he's asked for, and been granted a match for 'his' championship.

Not to mention, he got about 4 or 5 matches with Booker T, yet Booker never got a re-match. Batista isn't even that talented, yet he gets all this special treatment, at least in my eyes
