On May 24, 2010 WWE Universe witnessed an exit of one of the biggest WWE SuperStar of the last decade. Who was know as The Animal. Yes, it's Batista.
Batista and Cena, existed as the top of new breed in WWE. His feuds with Triple H, Edge, Undertaker (watch) and John Cena were some of the best feuds of the last decade. Today, we can rank him as on of the greatest World Heavyweight Champions of all times.
Have a look at his career, Batista's career turned when he was already in his 30's. When he first came in WWE, he was just another human mass of flesh. With Evolution, Batista also developed as a performer. He was still not decent enough to the ring work, but he had the some great potential then. WWE took a chance with Batista, and it paid a fabulous prize.
Batista did an exciting job and an face. However, the crowd was over him as John Cena. He had an strength that never seemed phony. His promos were not entertaining, but his presence was so powerful that it would cover his lacks.
After a solid run as the World Heavyweight Championship and five years as a major face, Batista moved to be a heel in late 2009. This was the moment of rebirth for his career.
For once, his powerful strength and brutal intensity encountered the suitable gimmick. His whole move was tailor for a dominant heel, so it was fitting his character. His promos was improved to a degree where he seemed as an bad-ass. It was the same time when rumours of his going away from WWE began to arise.
In his last feud, he began feuding with John Cena. At last, we detected a heel who could destroy John Cena and still look believable. After a series of good and super physical mates, Batista lost to Cena in an I Quit match, and so on the following night, on May 24 2010, he left from the WWE in a despicable way.
Simply fast forward one year, and we'll understand that WWE is already missing him.
WWE at this moment needs an person by a presence that will dominate John Cena and Randy Orton when they face off. WWE requires brutal intensity and charisma. I'll be much more specific, it is Batista's base, SmackDown, needs him.
Batista's come back will help SmackDown.
We all know that, SmackDown is heavy with heels now, and with Randy Orton on the top of them all, no heel has a good future in WWE. The way Randy has been held, there is absolutely no heel who can appear credible while demolishing Orton. The latest heel turn of Christian may make us optimistic.
Believe me, the missing link on SmackDown is Batista. Batista is an individual who is able to destory Orton, and the WWE Universe will believe it. Secondly, if he comes back, then either Randy Orton can turn heel, and Batista can dominate as the face of SmackDown.
In other manner, he can work as an shock absorber to other faces or heels to come up to his shadow, as he will take the stress off of every performer.
Now, you might ask me that in such a scenario, Is Batista worth it. He is already passed his 40's, don't we need youthful guys?
Batista is indeed very old to make a come back, but he is yet in really good condition. He can still perform for two years at the in high spirits. When many of the big stars have already gone away, we require a mega star to promote new wrestlers. Batista is one such person to do it.
Now we arrive at a vey important part. Let me explain why Batista deserves it?
Batista was not used by WWE properly in a monumental way. Now, have a look at the video below. A star who made such a great impact, Later exit on wheelchair was no less than a shame.
Here we are talking about a monster face, who, until Cena took over, was grounded to be the face of WWE. There was a mega-star, who for half a decade who carried SmackDown, along with Edge and Undertaker. He later turned into a monster heel and reigned on top of the food chain. He was not simply entertaining, but also credible, while tearing John Cena apart.
More to the point, he had helped very much to build the brand of SmackDown. Lacking him, it might have never been the same. He came to the WWE after multi injuries, only to work for WWE and to entertain us all the time.
I agree that he had his faults as a person. He had conflicts with the management of company, and he planned to leave. But I am damn sure he would have definitely not been very happy to leave in such a humiliating manner.
WWE has to deliver itself by offering Batista a second opportunity and a suitable farewell.
