Even though the opening segment on RAW was a complete embarrassment, he did really well for me. I'm liking heel Dave mix with other heels. He has this badass persona with his hipster jeans but it's working. He knows how to shut down the fans who chant boring and all that.

How are you all enjoying big Dave?

Since the heel turn became official a few weeks ago I have started to warm towards Batista more so than when he came back at the Royal Rumble. It appears he has started to adjust to the consistent negative reactions he is receiving from the WWE audiences and is managing to incorporate his own feelings in to his heel promos.

I would like to see him squash a few more face wrestlers though before WM30 to demonstrate more of his animalistic characteristics. Maybe back-to-back Batista bomb's on Miz this Friday during a Miz TV segment? "Best for Business"

I definitely enjoyed seeing him own Stephanie and send her on her way last night. It marked the first time since his return that he did something that entertained me.

That opening segment was really good (when I was able to stop staring at Steph long enough to pay attention).

Honestly, the microphone issues kinda worked for him. It came across as him being so angry and yelling that his voice was cracking up. It comes across well on TV. Heel Batista has always lead to great TV, just give the guy some bullet points and let him yell into a mic for 5 minutes and you usually get some great TV. Problem is he eventually has to wrestle, too.

Nah. I only saw the opener so far and he was bad. His spear made me want to stop watching wrestling completely, it was that bad.

OH HELL NO! :pipebomb:

I'm glad you are enjoying him, I sure as hell am not. He is so shitty Orton got a decent pop for the RKO.

Come on, you guys aren't enjoying him? He's the perfect blend of comedy and unintentional comedy. You can laugh at his rage and then laugh at his shitty spear.

I've said unintentional comedy is all he is good for. Me laughing at how terrible he is doesn't make me want to see his shitty matches any more though.

It's pretty stupid for anyone to discuss match quality and Batista in the same sentence. We're evidently talking about segments, promos, etc., and not his dull matches. He is serving his role pretty well in this feud.
pardon me princess. It is relevant to me, because I can't really enjoy the build for a match I know will suck. That's just me as a fan though. You are free to enjoy any big skinny jean wearing terrible match putting on douchebag you feel to.

For me his promos always seem to be all over the place. Stuttering, repeating, and then he says deal with it. It's not terrible, but I wouldn't say they were good either.
