Batista says Raw writing SUCKS, would only return for Houseshows

[R=G]

“I get constantly asked if I am going to go back and I would. I love wrestling. I talked to Chris Jericho, who is a good friend of mine recently and he does a lot of untelevised events, that’s all he does and I think I may take that path if I go back. The television…you’re just too locked in, you’re too locked into the scripts, which I don’t think are great these days…and I don’t want to be locked in. I just want to go back and entertain the fans, so I may try and go that path.”

He's not lying

Glad I don't go to house shows

I can't see Batista doing a house show run. He wants the money and the cameras on him. It's not a bad idea to have exclusive house show talent though.

Dude really loves the business if he doesnt care about being on TV.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

lol @ the shows being so bad people want to either stay in NXT or get taken off camera and only work the house shows

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

Batista is a man of the people

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Wrestlers have been saying house shows are better for years so it's not surprising.

 

[ManxOfxThexYear]

When you get a taste of that Marvel/Disney script writing its hard to go back

House shows are more fun to attend than TV tapings so I can see why a veteran especially would prefer working them too.

How can you claim that when he's just said pretty much the opposite though ? Do you personally know him?

I remember going to a house show where the main event was Brock Lesnar vs The Rock.... was one of the funnest live moments Ive ever been a part of. They just kept one-upping each other, and Rocky kept grabbing the mic during the match and taling trash to Brock while he was getting his ass kicked. Dont remember the finish...

Slightly unrelated but yeah House Shows are a different beast entirely from RAW, which really is more garbage than ever

Sorry, Dave, you're gonna get boo'd regardless, breh
