Batista is Chris Jericho's guest on the latest episode of the Talk Is Jericho podcast, which you can listen to here. During the interview, Batista talked about his latest WWE run being "bad from the start." "It was just bad from right off the bat," Batista admitted (props to MStarz for the transcription). "They said, 'We want you to come out and do this thing with Hunter and Steph and Randy,' and I was like, 'First night back and you can't give me five minutes in the ring by myself in front if the fans? "I told them from the very beginning [making me a babyface] isn't going to work. They said, 'Nah, man. They love you. They love you. They miss you.' That's going to last for 30 seconds. I said, 'They want to hate me and I'm good at that.'" |

As a Dayton resident, I love so much how he and Jericho bashed Dayton and the Nutter Center. I was there and the crowd was sh**. He isn't wrong. He should have came in as a heel. He's a natural at it. Dave may have won the Rumble but he followed it by putting over Bryan and the Shield twice.

I'd blame it on a combo of the WWE' crap booking and the fans being crap to him. He is easily a far better heel than face. The WWE should have known this. However, I'm sure it didn't help that fans booed him out of the building every night for no reason of his own. Tista didn't book himself to win the RR or main event WM. That was the WWE. Yes we all love Daniel Bryan and he deserved to main event mania but the fans didn't crap on HHH or Randy like they did Tista. Its like everyone aimed their hate towards Batista and nobody else. Completely unfair to Dave. If rumors are true I don't blame him for not wanting to come back.

Like Sean O'Hare, you're not telling us anything we don't already know.

Honestly I think Batista's return would have went much better if he didn't keep dressing like a Japanese girl. If you dress like a douche, fans are going to treat you like a douche. Ya know?

I think he'll be cheered when he comes back, you know because of him being Drax and all...

Dude was killing it from Mania on......cannot wait to see him back. Killing what? He hardly did anything. If he goes back to 2010 heel style, I'll be happy. They need to end this authority crap already. |

Dave is a very sensitive guy. It's not his fault the WWE booked him all wrong, he needs to realize that. They had been jerking Daniel Bryan around for so long, this was just another slap in the face.

They need to end this authority crap already. He was more entertaining then 75% of the roster........and wasn't having garbage matches like he was in February and March. In fact I think the matches he had with Ziggler, Sheamus and The Shield were better work then most of his stuff during his first run. |

I agree with Dave that at this stage of his career, most crowds aren't interested in him as a babyface. Now, if he could continue where he left off after 'Mania (or even better, where he left off in 2010), then get big Dave back on TV immediately. Douchey Heeltista is a pantheon WWE gimmick.

Batista is really knowledgeable when it comes to the wrestling industry. It's a shame nobody would listen to him and do things his way, but I'd expect nothing less from the company's higher ups. I wouldn't be surprised if Batista doesn't come back at all. Considering how his acting career has taken off and the fact that he wasn't happy with the way he was booked right from the start, they'd have to really make him a lucrative offer to get him to return, IMO.

Dude was killing it from Mania on......cannot wait to see him back. Even before that, really. He was great on the Smackdown where he turned heel, and as soon as he embraced that, he was gold. |

It doesn't surprise me that he's taking it to heart, the guy is great imo. A legitimate big guy who works amazing with most, but as said the time for Face Batista has passed.
