Batista thinks WWE’s current product simply isn’t as good today as it was in years prior. He points out that the top guys were rock stars back in the day, and that’s not the case today at all. He doesn’t put all of the blame on the performers, pointing out that WWE’s “cookie cutter wrestler factory” doesn’t do anything to inspire creativity or originality in performers.
He also thinks that people are afraid to step on toes in WWE nowadays, out of fear that they’d lose their job. He can’t blame people for thinking this way, especially after the “ridiculous” firing of Fit Finlay last year, which he had a big problem with.
Batista informs that he’d certainly entertain a return to WWE. He says there’s no better feeling in the world than performing for the WWE Universe, but he doesn’t want to be arguing with McMahon about creative decisions every week. For this reason, if he were to return to WWE it would have to be under certain conditions.
That sums up this week’s episode of E&C’s Pod of Awesomeness. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
