what do u guys think of him? i think hes tite but im not sure how well he would do at wrestlemania. but if he wins he'll be the first wrestler with asian blood to ever win the world title (since yokozuna isnt really asian and they never counted antonio inoki for some reason)

lmao, i was surprised as hell too because asians are generally smaller. but he is half asian, hes filipino and greek but was adopted at birth. he confirmed that in an interview when he talked about possibly being the first real asian wwe champion
-
Yokozuna wasn't ASIAN? :o

I think Yokozuna was Hawaiian.
Batista is going to win the title at WrestleMania unless the WWE executives change their mind between now and Wrestlemania

Dave Bautista (As correctly spelled) is Greek/Filipino. He was trained by Afa of the Wild Samoans. Afa also trained Billy Kidman, Chris Kanyon,Gene Snitsky, just to name a few.

The veins sticking out of his arms are sickening.

No. He was Samoan. The late great Yokozuna aka Rodney Anoai was first cousins with Rikishi,The Tonga Kid,Rosey,Samu, and second cousin to The Rock. His uncles are the Wild Samoans Afa and Sika.

Batista >>>>>>> Brock

You meant talent wise or just the fact that they are big? I personally think between the two Brock Lesnar is the "complete" wrestler.
Any big man that can execute a shooting star press a la Billy Kidman is verrrry talented.Even though he almost broke his neck at Wrestlemania a couple years back doing it...lol.
-
Oi..if batista wins..they gone give it back to HHH arn't they :-\?
Or we gonna see Orton vs Batista type of shit from now on?

Yeah let's not bring up the shooting star press for the sake of Brocks argument lol

that was the only time that Brock messed up on the shooting star press. he has done that move several times while in OVW
-
i think brock had a shit loada talent and got unfair hate because he left in such a crappy way. but brock was doin a good ass job as a heel in his last days (before that sorry ass match with goldberg)
-
the thing that really adds into batista's hyped up fanbase is the fact that he has really paid his dues. a lot of the newcomers are relatively young superstars coming in and beating vetarans within just a couple of years. batista is 35 years old and since he came in, hes just been used as a stepping stone so the smaller wrestlers can come in and beat him to look like they overcame the obstacles as underdogs. he was basically a jobber for the up-coming superstars. and now batista is finally in the position of those who he's been losing to for the past years.

scary ass looking mothafucka

Big Dave might be 35 but he's only been wrestling afew years. He just started really late. I personally don't care for the whole pay your dues way of thinking. It comes down to paying the bills, not the dues. Goldberg didn't pay any dues but one of the best things WCW did for the future of the company was put the belt on him during his undefeated streak, and the stupidest thing they did was have Nash beat him.
-
yeah, in terms of business that was smart for the wcw. but that shit clearly didnt work in the wwe, goldberg was a face his whole career there and look how many times he's been booed worse than triple h or the anti-americans. because a shit loada wwe fans dont even think hes a real wrestler, just a guy who got fed with a silver spoon
and i kno batista is new, thats why i compared him with other newcomers
-
That wasn't Goldberg's fault. They booked him wrong. Goldberg is like Mariano Rivera on the Yankees, he's great for a quick inning, but not the whole game. Can you imagine Rivera starting and pitching 7 or 8 innings? He'd suck. Goldberg should have been brought in to destroy comeptition, not face them in 15 minute matches. The second Goldberg comes in he's in a long match with Rock and wearing Golddust's gold wig. He should have been brought in as the monster he was in WCW and he would have gotten over. It's just about being a face, it's about being booked strong as a face and champion. Benoit was champ, but during his whole title reign he was playing second fiddle to HHH vs HBK or HHH vs Eugene, and then the WWE had the nerve to think Benoit wasn't working as champ, when he never got a real chance.
-
yea benoit got fucked over bigtime. they used the whole "i've been fightin for this my whole life" inspiration story on him to lead into wrestlemania, and after that they dumped him out. same with jericho after the undisputed championship, although he did have a good, long run as a heel. thank god eddie guerrero is still doing pretty good even tho he isnt in the main event picture anymore
-
So wwe done with HHH?

Just like McMahon's entrance theme; NO CHANCE IN HELL! I predict Big Dave lasts for 2 to 6 months and then HHH is back on top unfortunately.
-
Always remember that HHH is the Son In Law. So WWF(never call it the present name) will always pass the title around but he (HHH) will always get it back. Always. He ain't the first 10 time champ either, technically its the ROCK...if they would add it up, i think. Yea I think Rock does have 10 underneath him combined.

What about Flair and Hogan? They both have more than 10 titles.
-
well the WWF is approaching it from THEIR standpoint, meaning WWF titles. When they refer to Flair they commonly hint at that.
-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But the belt HHH currently wears is historically the Ric Flair belt. The WWE belt is the one Bradshaw has.
-
True the belt that HHH has is Flair's Old WCW belt, but....it is the RAW World Heavyweight Title. Big difference.

The only big difference in my mind is one guy won the belt 16 times (actually it was more like 20) because the booking commitee realized that when he wasn't champ the numbers dropped, and the other guy won the belt 10 times because he's on the booking commitee and his father in law wants to push him. One guy earned the title, the other asked for it.

Great way to look at it.

Batista will win the belt from HHH at Wrestlemania and will drop the belt like maybe one month later back to HHH.
You heard it here first. ;D
-
you hear it everytime HHH drops the belt.

Samoans are big muthafuckas. Sam Jackson & Travolta explain it perfectly in Pulp Fiction.

Uh...Dave Bautista aka Batista is Greek/Filipino. Mom is Greek, Dad is...defintely not Samoan...lol

Yokozuna was samoan i heard him and the Rock were cuzins
-

Not by blood. The Rock's late grandfather High Chief Peter Maivia trained Afa and Sika aka The Wild Samoans so they always
called Peter Maivia "Uncle" and "Family". Afa's son was Yokozuna aka Rodney Anoai. Rosey,Jamal,The Tonga Kid aka Samoan Savage,
and Rikishi are all first cousins and refer to The Rock as a "Cousin". i hope this answers your question.
