Batista is bad in ring. He was a fun character as a douchebag heel though.

I will forgive roman but only if he cries like a bitch in the ring for a full twenty minutes while the crowd is allowed to laugh at him, loudly.

I thought Batista rested more in the ring until Roman got so bad he literally got a "Roman's sleeping" chant going.

Why why whyyyyyyyyy would you push this guy so loving hard when it's obviously not working in the slightest? It's the dumbest loving thing in the world. It's like a candy company making a flavor that everyone on earth hates and then starting a 5 billion dollar ad campaign to push it.

Russell in terms of comedy/embarrassment value, but like Heyward-Bey he might be able to be a useful role player in five years for an organization that's actually good.

Roman can be useful with the right booking, though.

Depends on what you mean by "working"

If you're as desperate for attention as literally everybody in the upper echelons of WWE is, this is absolutely working. Look at all the attention we're currently giving their guy who's still suspended for 21 or 22 days. He's not even on TV and we all can't stop talking about the big dog guy king god.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

The thing is 'Let's Boo Roman As Hard As We Can' has become a fun thing to do. People who don't hate him will boo along at live events, coz it is fun to do and will join in. And the rest of us that do hate him will boo anyways.

His booking has been trying to get him loyal fans, fans that like him, like his character, and want to cheer for him. It has clearly not worked, so there aren't the cheers to drown out the boos, and get the uncommitted to join in the cheers.

Perhaps WWE should pipe in some cheers, like WCW did with eth Goldberg chant.

guys, Batista is still bad at the actually wrestling part of wrestling, being in a nerd-jizz-inducing movie doesn't change that

Real Talk, Batista is actually quite a good wrestler, but he seemed pretty bad in his 2014 run mainly because his cardio was shot. By the time Mania arrived he was back in full form and it was awesome. Its a drat shame he opted to cut his poo poo short instead of doing one last singles match, I think he could have gone out on a really high note doing a job for one of the guys in the two ladder matches the crowd wanted to see win something big, like Cesaro or Ziggler.

One can't ignore the fact that there were a lot of external factors to the crowd turning on Batista either, frankly I think he could have been better than he ever was and the audience still would have turned on him at the Rumble. It was always going to be Bryan, Punk or nothing for that crowd. Its a loving miracle they got behind Reigns as much as they did, and I don't think Smark Love for The Shield was really peaked at that point yet, so it was almost certainly just a Protest/We Desperately Want Someone New vote rather than a vote for Roman specifically.
