I feel like Batista was a bigger star in his prime especially during his smackdown era

Gotta define what you mean by “bigger” but i’ll say that post WM 21 and before he got injured Batista was the hottest wrestler since Rock/Austin


I’ll go with yes though because he was a bad ass ass kicking babyface that EVERYBODY liked that took out the most annoying a$$hole heel that EVERYBODY hated the previous 3-5 years.

Business is down by every metric since Roman's push.

He's not a star. Ask a non-wrestling fan who Roman Reigns is and they'll hit you with :dahell:

Just cause he's the only wrestler Vince has consistently pushed for the last 10 years doesn't mean he's a star or a draw.

Not saying Batista is a huge star either, but Roman definitely ain't one.

Batista power bombing triple h through the table back in 2005 is one of the most enjoyable pro-wrestling moments ever. That moment you knew the triple H reign of terror has come to the end after countless of fukked up PPV matches with the same ending.

16 years is a long time. People aren't watching wrestling like that anymore.

I like Roman Reigns but yes. Prime Batista was better. His tag matches with Rey were classic as well and his feud with JBL. I still think a prime Reigns vs Batista would've been a dope feud though.

He was tied at the least in terms of the Es agenda to shove John in our face and more over than Randy Orton. Cena got boo'd to Bolivian so there is no myth, all facts.
Batista was never bigger than John on a mainstream level. Him being more over with wrestling fans means nothing. You got to look at it as a whole
