Batista's Awesome Heel Run in 2009-2010

[@wrestlingspremier]

Definitely the 2nd hardest video I've ever edited. Batista's run was gold simply put. I think it's a shame it never continued past Over the Limit but then again, It could've gotten worse, who knows. He upped his game during this time and I commend him for that. What did you think of Batista's heel turn?

[@guillermosierracuellar9812]

WWE really liked to remind us that Eddie was dead remember the same thing happened in the rivalry with Edge and Rey in 2008

The lights out was a great addition for Batista al thought that would had looked better in 2019 with his Hollywood star gimmick

It was pretty unnecessary. Batista was capable of gaining heat during that time. And regardless, Eddie shouldn't really be involved.

That was unnecessary and poor booking on part of WWE, imagining heel Batista continuing his run best thing about him was he didn't depend upon sidekicks for matches. Lone wolf heel was necessary also those three consecutive wins for Cena actually initiated hate for Cena among fans.

Because of this awesome line: *"And while you're out here kissing babies and hugging fat girls, I'm busy hitting the gym, thinking of many ways I'm gonna beat the hell out of you at WrestleMania!"* Plus, his heel turn is one of the greatest of all time. He really switched up his game. I do think that he should have won the World Heavyweight Championship at TLC 2009 after everything. I did hate how he was scripted to say "Eddie's dead" though (granted, it wasn't his decision).

Now a days I wished the storyline between the both were more balanced then it was. Maybe Dave should have won at Wrestlemania XXVI.
