I think he would of been up there with the hhh foleys . And with his look been getting movie roles 
he has the edge (no copeland)

All depends on the push, pretty much.
If he was seen as a big guy who just looked intimidating, he could've been either McMahon's top goon
... or a member of the Truth Commission 
But I think he could've been one of the top heels. Prob. could've gone toe to toe with Austin, Rock, Foley, or Taker with no problem.

Heel Batista would of been a dope midcarder who gets occasional main event runs.
Before that...it'd probably be however Vince was feeling about Big stiffs at the time (no homo).
This is not the same thing as Cena for my DC homie.

He would have been known as Deacon Batista if HHH hadn't plucked him from lower card hell. I remember when he was saddled with that gimmick the IWC wanted him to get the push Lesnar was getting at the time. 
That's all? I think with a push he'd be much bigger than that he can talk AND has the look which alot of those Sean ohaire :
jindrak type guys didn't have. And imagine trilltista with the premium divas from back thenyeah, i could see him coming in the way Umaga was used. He may come in with a huge win streak which would lead to either Austin or Rock beating him in a title match. He'd be kept strong and maybe get a few short runs with the belt like Kane would get.
His rise to main event level against Triple H was based on being a quietly charismatic badass. I think that works in any era, but in an in-your-face environment like the Attitude Era it might have taken a little longer because he might have been outshined by some of the louder personalities.
I do think he would have eventually gotten to the top of the card, though.

it really does...IDK why being a 'tough guy' isn't such an OBVIOUS way to get over. It ALWAYS WORKS. A tough guy that is convincing that he'll beat you down works as a heel or face. Its the only reason randy orton is still over; its because he beat the crap out of tons of people and took a ton of damage from foley and others and still went over. Same thing with JBL and steve austin and even rock went over like that. Yeah the charisma put him over the top but really the dude was fighting like 9 guys in some matches vs the corporation and he still went over. It was all TAZ had and he was stupid over in ecw.
being a tough guy >>>>> having a catch phrase.

It all depends how much more steroids his body could handle.
That is the real answer.
Dude could have been HUGE any time.
