BoD Question

By Scott Keith on 28 January 2014

Hi Scott,

Whether you answer this or not, I'd like to pose a quick question about Batista.

Under the kayfabe assumption, what exactly is there for the casual fan to like about this guy? What should give the "casual fan" any incentive to root for a guy that has:

A) Been gone for four years and immediately demands a title match

2) Looks/talks/sounds like an asshole
D) Hugs HHH

At least with even John Cena, you can point to reasons why a "mark" should like the guy…but BATISTA?

Joe

Finding a reason to root for ANY of the selfish assholes who inhabit the WWE main event scene has been a real problem for years now, which is probably why people like Daniel Bryan so much.
