Batista recently spoke with the
Huffington Post UK
about the streak ending and more. Here are the highlights…
On “The Streak” ending: “It
sucked! Honestly, I thought it sucked. I haven’t really talked much about it but
I think it was a bad decision, a horrible decision. I don’t have any say in the
matter but to me, watching as a fan, it made me sick. Brock Lesnar beating him
didn’t seem to work and it really wasn’t good that Brock left the day after. I
just don’t see how that made sense at all. I don’t think anyone wanted to see
the streak broken and it just didn’t make sense to me.”
If Sting will wrestle in WWE: “I
don’t know – you know, they’ve been talking about that for years. I’ve never
even met him. But I hope so. I think he’s got a place there. But they need to do
it soon because the audience is changing so much that if they wait any longer,
the audience is going to be a bunch of kids and when he comes out they’re going
to chant CM Punk!”
On if he thought he would be
booed: “You could have fooled the hell out of me! They channelled
their rage right in my direction. I can’t put my finger on it, it was crazy. I
don’t get wrestling now. I’ve kind of completely taken my finger off the pulse.
It’s a different audience which I don’t understand. It’s strange though, it’s
really just the TV audience because when we get into the live events it’s a
completely different audience and they come just to watch the show. It’s weird,
the TV crowd seems like they come to be the show rather than to watch and
interact with the show. It’s like they want to steal the show, so I’m just
totally confused.”
