just catching up on this thread, and it's got me wondering. in what alternate universe does a 45 year old asthmatic deserve a better spot than losing to the number two guy in the company in the main event of a ppv? that's a pretty nice spot to be in.

This universe, circa the early to mid '90s.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
NCIS LA is such a great show when you only see the last 10ish minutes of it.

They thought it was going to be Batista's last show at the time, but he's been talked into doing Payback.

One where he was brought in to be in a certain spot, is making less money than promised because he's not in that spot and is now going to lose to that same guy twice. When your plans are constantly changed and you aren't getting the money you expected you have a right to want out. It's the same deal as Punk, something about WWE wasn't agreeing with him so he left, Batista is at least doing some remaining dates to finish up and may be back.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

The WWE Universe.

I don't like Batista but just like with Punk I support any wrestler who takes a stand against WWE's unprofessional business practices and makes the machine sweat for once. Very few of them have that leverage so its good when a few of them use it.

So I've been ignoring WWE since Wrestlemania but I woke up with the urge to watch RAW. Have I missed anything important? It sounds like they're repeating all the matches from last night's PPV so I'm guessing not a lot. Evolution is back, Paige is Divas champ, Wade Barrett wrestles again, and Bray Wyatt is either supernatural or a child molester? Is that about it?

Punk was also hurt and it would probably take a lot more out of him to go on.

I'm no fan of his but I can easily see anyone in that position going 'uh gently caress you, let someone else lose to him I tapped at Mania. by the way I'd like to win a match one of these days too.'

Plans weren't changed on Batista arbitrarily, they were changed because the fans vocally expressed their disgust at being force fed his boring, slow, worthless performance for Wrestlemania. If Batista is making less money it's because he deserves to.

Pretty sure that's not how contracts work, generally. What with agreed money and all that.

WWE contracts do not work the same way that contracts work in general. WWE contracts are really weird.
