Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted September 29, 2002 I haven't seen him on tv in like 3 weeks. Are they just taking him off tv for awhile to bring him back in a new gimmick or what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted September 29, 2002 I dunno...I wonder about his presense every time I see D-von. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted September 29, 2002 Aren't we in the middle of that tantalizing "D-Von must convince Batista to stay Smackdown or Stephanie will fire him" angle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted September 29, 2002 Yeah, but it shows how much they're playing that with people asking whatever happen to Batista, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DJ Jeff Report post Posted September 29, 2002 I think Batista is wrestling on Velocity now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted September 29, 2002 Velocity? Didn't see him. Unless he's taking a much needed break from all that over exposure. When Tazz starting doing Velocity? Commentating just jumped up a lot instead of the two weekly dry asses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted September 29, 2002 My friend asked me that when he was over for Velocity eariler. I thought Batista was gunna get a good push, but he's just vanished. Maybe he'll get traded to Raw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Human Fly Report post Posted September 29, 2002 They blew their wad with him way too fast. They had him break away from D-Von before anyone gave a crap. Now they have no clue what to do with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMTapes Report post Posted September 29, 2002 Who cares? Batista, Cena, Randy Orton..same thing. Boring as hell.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest godthedog Report post Posted September 29, 2002 since he knocked randy orton out cold with a lariat, i should hope he's been sent back to ovw for more work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BaldFish Report post Posted September 29, 2002 I think he's finishing up OVW storylines and then he's going to come back to SD. It's a pity they misused him. He could have EASILY been pushed to Lesnaresque levels. And frankly, I think he has that Goldberg look that's really marketable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted September 29, 2002 Batista's momentum grinded to a Halt once Brock went on Smackdown. Logic is you can't have someone New that out heats Brock. We will probably see him on Raw. they will blurb some reason his contract was bought out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted September 29, 2002 I think when he got his ass kicked by Bob Holly, he was fucked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted September 29, 2002 Logic is you can't have someone New that out heats Brock. Well, that explains the Jamie Noble depush since August. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted September 29, 2002 Well its even worse for Batista..Since the first day people gave him more heat than the Sainted Sacred Cow Brock lesnar. People found him more impressive, even if Batista could only do a Spinebuster and Clothesline. They just can't have it. One Muscle Bound New HOSS per show evidently.

Guest Mad Dog Report post Posted September 29, 2002 Maybe he's learning a real finisher instead of a spinebuster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mattdotcom Report post Posted September 29, 2002 Maybe's he in Jim Ross's new bar/basement: THE HOSS SPOT! Or seriously, maybe they figured out that being D-Von's number-one guy for two weeks and then turning him for no reason wasn't the best idea. And when did the "D-Von has to save his job" angle come in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mad Dog Report post Posted September 29, 2002 Maybe they're going to repackage him as Leviathon as he should've been in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted September 29, 2002 They need to bring back gimmicks like that. That is what is missing from wrestling now. Noone really has a gimmick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Czech Republic Report post Posted September 29, 2002 Yeah, where has ol' Jamie been? Huh, boy? Knoble-Benoit and Knoble-Mysterio would be good matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2002 Wasn't Levithan's gimmick that he was some demon? It has been awhile since we've had a Satan gimmick in wrestling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted September 29, 2002 I think when he got his ass kicked by Bob Holly, he was fucked. When did this happen? Because that seriously would ruin a "monster" like Batista who's still pretty new to the fed. Since the pairing of D-Von and Faaaaarrrrroooooqqqqq is being tested at house shows, Batista will probably be brought back to mess with them, because I don't think they ever finished the Batista/D-Von storyline. The split did occur WAY too soon though. And I don't think Leviathan is involved in any more OVW storylines because in OVW storyline terms his mistress "sold his services" to Reverend D-Von.

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted September 29, 2002 In some Val/D-Von match, Batista interfered and Holly beat the Holy Hell out of him. Batista beat him up like 2 minutes later, but I mean, come on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dpac Report post Posted September 30, 2002 i was hoping they would of brought him with raven, and give him the dark creepy image, well now i just hope the fed doesnt fuck his career Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest godthedog Report post Posted September 30, 2002 i have no problem seeing him do a spinebuster as a finisher, because the way he does it (ron simmons-style, only stiffer) looks fucking PAINFUL. hell, he could have a lariat as his finisher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
