Duh. He'll continue to be it too, until he decides otherwise.
Batista is underrated by a portion of the IWC. I think a good majority, including myself, recognize him as something rare: a hoss with talent. I do agree that he's constantly improving though.
Agreed, but on a few conditions. One, give him guys he can perform well with. Two, one of said opponents must be Chris Benoit. Three, he should be a face when it happens.
Statement: The WWE as a whole would be better if more retired wrestlers were on the booking/writing teams.
