Dave Batista Speaks! Why he left, his thoughts on the current WWE product and more!

Batista speaks…

The UK Sun recently interviewed former WWE star Batista, here are the highlights...





On Leaving WWE: "The reason I left was the PG direction the company took, it got too corny for me. I was a hug fan of the edgy era of DX, Stone Cold Steve Austin and those guys. The change in direction really ruined it for me. It's well recorded I'm not a fan of the likes of John Cena or The Miz. It's such a different company these days and not in a good way."

On Being Offered a Job on Tough Enough: "I've no plans to return anytime soon. I was offered the job of working on Tough Enough, I just didn't think it was for me. I hear it went well with Steve Austin and good luck to them. I need to be excited by a project and I didn't feel that way about Tough Enough."

On a Possible Return: "If I did return to the WWE, it would be for a run not just a one-shot deal. I'd have to be a constant for them not someone who drifts in and out to boost ratings. If I did I'd love to work with Triple H again or Undertaker. They are the best workers there in my opinion and they'd make it worthwhile to return. The show would have to change though, so I can't see my return being anytime soon can you?

Would he Wrestle Anywhere Else?: "For me, the WWE is the number one wrestling organization. I'd hate to end my career somewhere that's a step down. If I go out, I go out on top and working for the company on top."




My Take:


I for one, would love to see Dave make a return and bring some edge back to the product.  A match with Triple H, Undertaker, CM Punk or even Daniel Bryan would all be great.
