Batista Not Returning to the WWE?
Those close to Batista say that he feels let down and unhappy over the way he was booked in his return to the WWE and may stay away from wrestling in order to do more movies. One source cites that if Batista does return to the WWE, it would be for WrestleMania 31. Batista has also been reported to have expressed interest in a retirement match against HHH but there has now word from the WWE if that is something they plan on doing.

Meh on those timelines
ReplyDeleteI've heard enough from New Jack.
ReplyDeleteRacist.
ReplyDeleteHe's usually good for a few hilarious lines, but he's approaching Cornette levels of "how many times can they pay him to tell the same stories?"
ReplyDeleteBatista can't blame WWE for the crowd hating him because he's not Daniel Bryan. Unless WWE were to implant his brain into Daniel Bryan's body, there was not much they could do.
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested in the '81 Martel timeline. His shoot a few years ago was enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteIt's a missed opportunity if the wwe didn't bring Tony Schivone in to do a network insert declaring today "the greatest day in the history of our sport!" with Nitro debuting on the network and all.
ReplyDeleteNew Jack has surprisingly good insight on wrestling.
ReplyDeleteHe can blame them for not having the foresight to see it happen
ReplyDeleteThe way they used him his first show back was pathetic. Batista himself said in interviews that it made little sense.
ReplyDeleteJust watched Nitro 91, which clocks in around 47 minutes. It isn't anything to write home about (Hulk Hogan appears in 3 segments), but it's amazing how much more enjoyable a show of that length is compared to the three hour monstrosity it would become (and that Raw is today).
ReplyDeleteRAW: Pass.
ReplyDeleteBatista: More power to him.
KC: 1996 ECW, please.
Highspots: More for BB to review?
You can blame WWE for having him hug the Authority in one of his first appearances while (in theory) pushing him as a face. You can also blame WWE for making his first (lopsided) feud with Del Rio (a fine wrestler but someone with little heat), including the classic distraction roll up finish. You can blame WWE for bashing part-time Hollywood movie stars for several years.
ReplyDeleteHe talked about how he wanted to come in as a heel and he knew the crowd was gonna shit on him as a face.
ReplyDeleteDepends how much if his return was him demanding to be put in the main event of WrestleMania and winning the royal rumble. That's why the crowd turned on him.
ReplyDeleteMy mind is blown by the amount of victories ADR racked up on his way up.
ReplyDeleteNeed a JLaw Timeline from yesterday and needed it... yesterday.
ReplyDeleteOn Jericho's podcast, Batista got all ruffled because fans were chanting for Bryan instead of paying attention to the match in the ring. This seems to be a common sentiment in WWE...blaming the fans for being bored during a Randy Orton or Sheamus match where if you've seen one, you've seen them all.
ReplyDeleteYou realize that was all bullshit that people just assumed, yeah?
ReplyDeleteHe does, that I won't deny. Startlingly good insight, even. It's just that I feel like he's already shared his thoughts and feelings on every ECW worker and angle on a KC shoot about 8 times now.
ReplyDeleteChecking out Judgment Day 09. Recall this being a decent show.
ReplyDeleteI love Jack but I don't know how good he'll be in the Timeline format. He's never struck me as one for having a great memory about specific event/moment details. His strength is him just ranting about whatever. Hopefully it turns out good though.
ReplyDeleteI don't buy the idea that he's done with wrestling and may never come back. I think that's conjecture based on the fact that he didn't come back after Summerslam like people said he would, but that's because there's nowhere to put him right now.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, I can't fault him for not being thrilled with how his return was handled. Spoiling it did half the job and that hug on his first night back finished it.
lol. this must be infuriating for Vince: one of "his guys" starred in what seems to be the hottest blockbuster of the summer.... and his company couldn't hardly capitalize on this at all.
ReplyDeleteBatista deserved better than what happened to him last time around. I want to see him do at least one more program with someone done right in the WWE, but he needs to do some heavy cardio and get in ring shape before he even thinks about coming back.
ReplyDeleteBatista doesn't need the WWE; the WWE doesn't need Batista.
ReplyDeleteBut Batista could do one last brief run and bank the cash. Guardians is a hit and Batista will obviously be in the sequel and can make steady income doing small action films, but no reason why he shouldn't get one last WWE payday.
ReplyDeleteJanuary - that guy was scared of me. Racist motherfucker
ReplyDeleteFebruary - he still owes me money. Racist motherfucker
March- i had to job to so and so. Racist motherfucker
April- ... (You get the picture)...
I still love New Jack shoots. Always entertaining.
They need Punk though.
ReplyDeleteEver since GotG became a hit I feel that the IWC went from bashing Dave anyway they could to becoming Batista apologists.
ReplyDeleteSchiavone -" for only $9.99"!
ReplyDeleteTrue.
ReplyDeleteBut if just talks about the angles while mixing in the wild stories, it could still be really good.
He'll need to come back again to promote Smurfs 3.
ReplyDeleteThey really don't.
ReplyDeleteThe IWC ripped on Batista because of his douchey wardrobe and poor conditioning, but the real issue wasn't with Batista. It was with WWE's use of him and the company's insistence of pushing him at the expense of Bryan.
ReplyDeleteI do.
ReplyDeleteWould it be wrong to suggest that perhaps Batista wouldn't be so publicly "unhappy" if GoTG had bombed?
ReplyDeleteStarting with the third nitro since I've already seen the first two a bunch.
ReplyDeleteIs he playing Ring Rat Smurf?
ReplyDeleteIs it fair to say Bryan got over more than Punk did?
ReplyDeleteRick Martel might be interesting just because he hasn't done like a billion shoots like other guys.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about that. Punk was pretty over, but he always connected better as a heel, which confuses the issue a bit.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, I'm sure they would've made him do a few jobs if they'd have known he was going to smack the piss out of some web geek and get fired.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it doesn't involve Brodus Clay, I will give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteSean Oliver needs to not do anymore YouShoots with recently released WWE guys who are afraid or unwilling to talk. They are terrible.
I mean, Punk had certain cities where he was a big deal, but I don't think he ever had the widespread support that Bryan did. And even as a heel, he was over but it felt more like people hated having to boo him rather than actually hating him as a character. I could be wrong about that, though.
ReplyDeleteMartel has done a really good shoot before. He had a pretty interesting take on the murder of Dino Bravo.
ReplyDeleteHe will be the evil smurf Bluetista. He's already been prepping for it.
ReplyDeleteWell, he was supposedly leaving anyhow.
ReplyDeleteThe importance of one's happiness does tend to fluctuate with the size of the cheques coming in.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the "mystique" is gone a bit (pun not realized til after I typed it) because she looks the same naked as every other girl, but she's still hot as fuck. Kate Upton's giant boobs seem somehow disappointing, but I could just be insane.
ReplyDeleteVictoria Justice seems really pleased with herself and her boobs taking all those pictures, and god bless her for it.
ReplyDeleteThe IWC being hypocritical marks? No way.
ReplyDeleteGood for Batista, sorry that the last 6 months haven't worked for him, but it looks like his film career will be fine.
ReplyDeleteBatista is awesome. He was great on Jericho's podcast. Guy truly loves wrestling... I think he isn't a fan of PG and he accounts how he wanted to come back heel cause he is better like that and he had a lot of creative issues with his 2014 return. Comes off very humble and like able in the interview
ReplyDeleteI know I became one, when I'm finding him more entertaining than he should be, I'm definitely going to apologize.
ReplyDeleteSo was Batista actually any good in the movie?
ReplyDeleteSo let's assume that he gets more work off of this, will it likely flop without the Marvel juggernaut behind it?
Tells stories on Jericho's podcast that he was having issues with his knee after filming guardians. Tried to pack on pounds before his return and be all jacked up and it didn't work for him. Took him awhile to get back into ring shape.
ReplyDeleteI heard that Marvel didn't want them to.
ReplyDeleteWell thank goodness he took quick action. Now those pictures won't spread... /s
ReplyDeleteIn other news, Jake underwent a bronchoscopy and seems to be slowly improving. Good sign.
ReplyDeleteAnd WWE approves talent to do Jericho and Austin's podcast, but refuses to approve anyone for Ross' podcast. I didn't know JR had that much heat with the WWE.
It depends. If he stays in the character actor/ensemble cast wheelhouse, he'll be fine. And he certainly has the chops for the C-level action flick hero. Reaching farther than that could be risky.
ReplyDeleteHe could play the Blue Beetle in the Justice League film.
ReplyDeleteMan, after reading this, I'm starting to like Batista more.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they just think JR's podcast sucks.
ReplyDeleteGod knows they wouldn't be alone....
I still think there's money in Batista v Brock.
ReplyDeleteJR seems like kind of a dick.
ReplyDeleteEither that or the fact that I liked chubby Jennifer Lawrence better, not the flat ass bony hip version. Still attractive, just less so now. Completely agree on Uptoms boobs. Something's...not so awesome about them.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what being in a comic book geek movie instead of ursurping the top guy's heat will do for your reputation.
ReplyDeleteAustin and Jericho are WWE talent. Signed. Jim Ross is not.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to one day teach high school history. My main problem is I graduated with a degree in Finance and work in finance lol.
ReplyDelete1981 WWE as told by Rick Martel will be released on October 14th
ReplyDeleteWasn't aware anyone cared about 1981 WWF. Quick, name 1981 WWF tag champs. Times up! Wrong answer. Yeah, I don't know either.
So, I was checking out Nitro on my iPhone at the gym. Why was the first episode labeled as Nitro 79? Any guesses?
ReplyDeleteRick Martel and Tony Garea? That's a guess off the top of my head...
ReplyDeleteHard to type with one hand.
ReplyDeleteHot damn, I was right!
ReplyDeletewell there were 3 changes. Name the other ones
ReplyDeleteBatista was signed to a GotG sequel before the film even hit theaters, no way he's coming back. And good for him.
ReplyDeleteFuji and Tanaka and/or The Samoans?
ReplyDeleteIt would be cheating, I already looked at Wikipedia to see if I was right with Martel and Garea.
ReplyDeleteFuji is right but wrong partner. The other is wrong
ReplyDeletethen you are disqualified. I'm still looking for that 10th caller with the other two teams. Hit us up
ReplyDeleteYeah that sounds right.
ReplyDeleteSaito?
ReplyDeleteI finally get a hold of Prime Time 1989 full season and NOW the Nitros start coming out.
ReplyDeleteEthnic Sterotypes and Big Fat Guys.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking partial credit for getting Martel an Garea right, as you never said anything about ALL the tag champs in 1981.
ReplyDeleteok, name the last team
ReplyDeleteAtlas & Rocky?
ReplyDeletejudges? no, sorry can't accept that.
ReplyDeletepartial credit
ReplyDeleteThey were always going to hit eventually.
ReplyDeletePutski and Santana? I'm throwing shit at the wall here..
ReplyDeletenope that was 83, I think
ReplyDeletenope. Still looking for that winning caller
ReplyDeleteYES!!! I BO-lieve!
ReplyDeleteTOO MUCH WRESTLING! MIGHT PASS OUT!
ReplyDeleteAlbano and Altimore?
ReplyDeleteWhen can I just throw the last team out there?
ReplyDeletenope but you keep calling in
ReplyDeleteOk last guess and then I'm looking, Moondogs?
ReplyDeleteDid you re-up?
ReplyDeleteyou can't stop calling before we block your number
ReplyDeleteDamnit! Love the show, thanks for having me on.
ReplyDeleteWoo!
ReplyDeleteBut which two Moondogs???
ReplyDeletewe have a winner. You win two front row tickets to see Britney Spears
ReplyDeleteNot yet. I'm going to the Indians game today so I won't have any time to watch anything, so I will probably re-up tomorrow. Sigh.....they got me.
ReplyDeleteAND WHOSE SIDE WERE THEY ON?
ReplyDeleteanytime Hoss
ReplyDeleteUh, Rex and.. King?
ReplyDeleteWell, they likely were big fat guys and/or ethnic stereotypes. I think I should file a protest.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Archibald Leach, Bernard Schwartz and Lucille LeSueur have never been in my kitchen.
That's actually right!
ReplyDeleteArn Anderson with a gold chain and a cross isn't too great of a look.
ReplyDeleteThey always win. Always. The McMahons are like the mafia.
ReplyDeleteFunny collateral damage is all the newspaper/network types that will look at 4chan for the first time because of stuff like this. Hope they have eye/brain bleach
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of the Pacers' playoff chances without Paul George and also any chance the Red Sox can trade a couple of A ball pitchers for Giancarlo Stanton? I'll hang up and listen.
ReplyDeleteCan I take the cash value instead?
ReplyDeletehey man, I don't make the rules here. Get your 1981 world tag champ knowledge up, playa
ReplyDeletegot change for a 1?
ReplyDeleteWho wants flautas? I'm making mushroom, crab and chicken flautas for peeps today at my apartment. BYOB.
ReplyDeleteAnyone skipping Raw tonight? I wouldn't be opposed to a catch-all counter thread
ReplyDeleteThe east sucks so they will still get in and they will just wait until he hits the free agent market and overpay him.
ReplyDeleteMcMahons win LOL
ReplyDeleteNo thanks, I'll just give them to my mentally enfeebled neighbour or something. Thanks for having me on Devin.
ReplyDeleteBeen a weekly thing for a months now.
ReplyDeleteIf it is a throwaway episode, we'll either get 1 of 2 things. A) A wrestling heavy show with no storyline progression or B) A comedy filled episode loaded with fart and poop jokes and interference in every match with no storyline progression.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching.
ReplyDeleteJohn Edwards seems unpleasant.
ReplyDeleteI've got people coming over at 1:30 and a street fair outside. I should be done with everything by 8, although I still haven't seen last week's Raw (don't think that matters) and might be binging either Nitro or Dexter when everyone is gone.
ReplyDeleteI'll be checking in to the live thread, though.
Come on over. Also, make sure you keep that screen name until Talk Like A Pirate Day.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a really fun day ahead of you. Dexter is awesome. Which season are you on?
ReplyDeleteWe started watching the show a couple of years ago and got through the second season before Netflix pulled the show. SO, we're starting over at S1 now, we're a few episodes in.
ReplyDeleteHell, they should put him on Raw to do the shill job. Maybe some lapsed WCW fans hear him while channel surfing.
ReplyDeleteTonight's guest host should be Tony Schiavone and Mongo!
ReplyDeleteNitros on the network > current Raws.
ReplyDeleteSir, I will have you know that there is a difference between a privateer, sanctioned by His Majesty, and a scum sucking pirate.
ReplyDeleteI'll eat your taquitos, but I'll sneer when you look in my direction.
The assumption was this was how the tapes were labeled in the warehouse. I have no idea why they would keep this naming convention.
ReplyDeleteBeing dumped by Dibiase's corporation should be the luckiest break in your career actually!
ReplyDeleteHopefully this doesn't hold up anyone's induction into the Daughters of the American Revolution.
ReplyDeleteBecause the guys running the Network aren't wrestling fans. Makes zero sense otherwise.
ReplyDeleteBatista hopes to have a retirement match against HHH? The wrestling industry is such a self serving pile of crap sometimes
ReplyDeleteBatista did get the shaft, they had to break promises to him. AND IT'S ALL THE FAULT OF YOU STUPID SMARKS!! *SHAKES FIST*
ReplyDeleteAlright, kids, I'm off for a few hours. Gotta clean up, cook up and drink up. Have a fun Labor Day!
ReplyDeleteThey're protecting their own talent from dozing off as Ross takes over the podcast with his own stories. Smart.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been an easier run had he not chosen those pants.
ReplyDeletePerhaps we can all win with a double countout.
ReplyDeleteAnd what's the problem with two part timers, one of whom made the other, having a final match at the biggest show of the year?
ReplyDeleteActually, I don't think Austin is under any kind of contract right now.
ReplyDeletePart timers need to die or something. But wrestlers need an off season so they don't get too stale. But they just can't be part timers. I think that's what I understood from the past few years.
ReplyDeleteI was pumped for the return. I told everyone I knew who had to listen to me talk about wrestling how excited I was for Batista's return. Then he came out in THOSE pants and hugged HHH. I was completely done with the entire run right there.
ReplyDeleteMarvel asked them not to because they didn't want people to think it was a "wrestler movie."
ReplyDeleteIt all depends on what they have cooking by Rumble, if HHH has nothing else to do why not do a match with Dave? But if, like this year, HHH has a reason to be in some other storyline to put a guy over, let him do that instead.
ReplyDeleteWho cares either way really.
I know. I'm saying that the leak half-fucked him.
ReplyDeleteI didn't mind the hugging HHH at all.
ReplyDelete1- he was the owner who rehired him
2- They had a past history, and he was one of his mentors.
3- HHH was still a sort of kind of tweener at the time, he didn't full heel until after the Rumble.
So after working a 31 hour shift from Thursday 9am to Friday 4pm, I was back here for 20 hours over the weekend and am now sitting here with such a flu that my eyes are burning every time I blink.
ReplyDeletePublishing is stupid, newspapers are stupid, who the fuck is even buying this shit anymore. I need a nap.
SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE...SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE... SHAKE YOUR BOOTY
ReplyDeleteWho were the friendliest NBAers?
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day we'll offer it for NINE NINETY NINE MAGGLE
ReplyDeleteBest clip show in TV history
ReplyDeleteHe obviously isn't the same Jonathan Edward's that ran for office, you dolt. Clearly. he's the 18th preacher who delivered the sermon "Sinners In The Hand's Of An Angry God" that was a cornerstone of "The Great Awakening".
ReplyDeletesee, your lack of punctuation makes it seem like you're denying being a beard that seeks office. That may very well be the case, but it's probably not what you meant.
ReplyDeletea1) Regional Field Coordinator on the last campaign I worked on. It was the biggest, highest profile campaign I worked on and the most competitive. I met a lot of people you have likely heard of, groomed a lot of successful young interns, and... well I can't really relate how rewarding this type of work is.
ReplyDeletea2) Warehouse manager at Circuit City. Had so much fun, worked really hard and partied a lot... it was basically high school for me as I didn't get the traditional high school experience.
b) I worked at a Hot Dog place called Frank & Stein. Horrible job by every metric.
c) I'm better than you
There's a couple pictures of her that seems like she's not ok with it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like my kinda guy.. YOLO!!
ReplyDeleteI dunno - she looks pretty into it to me, although Xmen 1st Class Jennifer Lawrence would've been much better. She has that flat ass meat lump above her buttcrack. Not doing it for me.
ReplyDelete1) Little Caesar's. Smoke weed, make pizza, eat pizza.
ReplyDelete2) Kruse and Muer on Main Street dishwasher. I'm highly allergic to dishwashing tank chemicals and it turned my legs into the harlequinn fetus.
3) J & B and Ginger Ale, preferably Vernor's.
Does Justin Verlander have a hose for a penis.
ReplyDeleteJesus christ.
Educational purposes? How about this lol. http://www.youfap.me/ABn6x you can get educated here, prolly sex education or NO SAVING NUDE PICTURES ANYWHERE education.
ReplyDelete
