Dave Bautista

2007, WWE held Unforgiven...

The only title change, I believe, was Batista winning the World Heavyweight Championship from the Great Khali.

Hmm.

Don Sesky's favorite wrestler.

Edge.

It was after he was beat up and Batista Bombed by Batista.

See, I know my CM Punk career highlights.

Look at that.

He's an interesting guy.

Like, if the p- if you could put, like, The Cabana Boy in, like, Batista's body during the Vince McMahon era-

Yeah

... as persistent as he is, he'd be a 10-time world champion.

Coming off the heels of last night's WrestleMania 21, the Staples Center in Los Angeles is sold out for the second night in a row.

And here live is a man that lost the World Heavyweight title last night, Triple H, ending his 10-22 reign with The Animal known as Batista.

The Game is on.

The Game is on.

It's all about the pain, who's gonna make it? I am The Game, and I want to play.

JR, you gotta say, what is wrong with this picture? The Game, Triple H, without the World Heavyweight Championship.

[crowd cheering] Batista, Batista, Batista, Batista, Batista, Batista, Batista, Batista, Batista, Batista, Batista.

I admit it.

And then even the ending, too, where it was super kick.

Roman then goes into Hulk Hogan, Batista mode, whatever, which was kind of awesome.

And then another kick, and then another kick.

And then Penta goes for a springboard on the other side of the ring, where Roman's on the other side.

Booker T or something like that.

Yeah, it was, it was, it was Booker T versus Batista.

Well, it was Batista, Booker T, Finley, and Bobby Lashley.

Yeah, man.

We used to have a good back then.

He's one of the greatest of all time.

Him beating guys like Batista and Big Show and shit like that, it never made sense to me.

And it's not because of a mask.

It's because of his size, right? And the

So it's like, okay, so you got people like me, who's, you know, I don't look like a pro-typical superstar.

I don't have, like, Batista-like traps or...

Triple H physique Or anything like that People like Daniel Bryan People who are just like Indie Indie wrestlers Who are just known For their grabs WWE Vince McMahon Didn't really see the value In those kind of people So when CM Punk Goes out there And pops his shit And it wasn't a shoot It was It was a promo Like it was a work It was a work But it was a promo Sure Um For him to go out there, pop his shit, it kind of, not just put WWE on notice, the fact that like, oh, wait, so you got somebody who's not the prototypical superstar we're looking for, but, you know, might got to check this guy out.

He's entertaining to watch.
