Batista upset with the WWE

When I first heard about this I thought it was crazy. But after reading it in more than one, two, even three places I got to wondering, what is going on with Batista?
Apparently WWE Superstar Batista is upset about the big push he is getting from the WWE. And is talking retirement. Vince McMahon has tryed to keep him happy for years because he is a huge draw overseas. According to reports Dave Batista is a big spendor so retirement would be out of the question for now at least.
He is frustrated because he thinks he is not at the same level as some of the other main eventers. Personally, I’ve never heard of a wrestler thinking this way. Why would he think he is worse than Cena?
Both are good, but Batista has always been the better wrestler, while John Cena has been the better entertainer. Apparently people backstage felt that after they had him win at Summerslam it would satisfy him, but it didn’t and now he is looking to take time off.
I would have to guess that they would need to make a big push for Punk or Michaels, considering they are the only other main event faces on the roster. Now if Orton comes back from injury and turns face, we could defiantly see a good Jericho and Orton feud.
Cena will not be back for a long while, Mysterio is not at the level I believe the other performers are at, and no one other than Batista could carry the load for RAW other than Punk or Michaels at this point, considering Chris Jericho is a heel.
Batista’s decision to take time off is nuts, not just for him but for RAW entirely. If he does truly want this time off, the WWE will have him lose to JBL, have a small feud between him and Jericho, and maybe add Punk or someone to the next PPV for a triple threat of some sort.
It’s the only way out of it in my opinion, unless Batista stays until Orton comes back and could turn face possibly.
But what do you think? Should Batista take time off right now? If so, how do you think the WWE should handle the situation?

When a guy thinks he is bigger than the company or sport, then its time to say good riddance. I agree with William.
Honestly, if this happened in any sport the locker room would revolt against the head coach or manager.
Why on earth has Vince bent over backwards like this over and over is beyond me? Vince has only himself to blame for helping make him the way he is. Just my 2 cents, but I hate ME guys.

Wait a sec here, I’m confused. He’s upset because he doesn’t think his push is big enough, or he’s upset because he doesn’t think he deserves to be a main eventer and wants to be dropped down on the card?

Doesn’t think he has been pushed far enough as a main eventer….makes perfect sense I know……..

He’s a crappy wrestler. And I disagree with Justin, Cena is better in the ring imo.
Guys like Batista are a dime a dozen, big muscular guy, acts cool, uses a powerbomb as a finisher to go along with a spinebuster and running clothesline.
I give you the 2008 version of Kevin Nash/Diesel.

I really didnt think that he’d beat cena that night. He should be thrilled, I don’t really know what more he could ask for!

Yep, so true!
