In the latest edition of “The Ross Report”, Jim Ross said that if he were in charge of booking, he’d make Batista vs. Brock Lesnar for Wrestlemania 32. Here are highlights:
On Batista’s frustration with WWE Creative after his last run: “The first thing you learn in booking or creative is to understand your talent and when they’re telling you something from their heart and from their gut, you should listen and try to acquiesce. Now, having said that, maybe all those things are done. Maybe [WWE] did listen. Maybe they did try to acquiesce; however, it couldn’t get done. They couldn’t seal the deal and Dave came back [inauspiciously] in that babyface type [of] role that didn’t fit him. It didn’t work. It didn’t do him any favors.”
On what match he’d book for Wrestlemania 32: “Hey, I got an idea for you: what about Batista, the heel, coming back and taking on Brock Lesnar, the babyface, at WrestleMania [32] in April [2016] in Dallas [Texas]? I could live with that main event, a red hot Batista coming back and urinating all over the fans and being a big star and being very arrogant and full of himself and being a bad ass, believing his [newspaper] clippings and he wants to take on the biggest dog in the yard. I don’t dislike that match.”
