Dave BatistaIt might surprise you to hear that it's been four long years since I last stood inside a wrestling ring like this one. It was back when the late Vince McMahon was running things, when you couldn't get anywhere in the business unless you were either a member of the kiss my ass club, or your name was John Cena. If you were anything else, you weren't going to get anywhere quickly, and it didn't take long for me to grow tired of being overlooked, I wasn't going to stay in a company and work my ass off only to be given nothing in return. I mean sure, there was the money, but it wasn't enough to convince me to sign on the dotted line, I got the hell out of there and I never looked back... Unsurprisingly, it was only took a year or two without my presence for that company to go bust. I didn't shed a single tear, and neither did the McMahon's most loyal workers, they all jumped from the sinking ship as quick as they could, including Mr. McMahon himself. He left the mess that he had created to his daughter, and then this god forsaken place was born.
Dave BatistaI can't tell you how many times the man tried to contact me, sending message to my email account, calling my manager, even sending hand written letters to my home address, desperately begging for me to return to him, I wasn't interested for a single second, no matter what he offered me, it was never going to be enough to sign my soul away to that devil. His death came as quite a shock to me, I honestly thought the man would be on this world forever, lurking around the wrestling business well into the future, I never expected to be rid of him, and when I overcame the shock, I smiled, I told myself that his passing was a good thing, that it was a perfect opportunity for me to make my return.
The crowd are in shock at Batista's cold attitude towards his former boss and start to jeer him.Dave BatistaWhen I heard Stephanie McMahon had taken over the company, I was glad that they had finally found a set of capable hands to run the business, and decided it was time to make my return, to do what I love doing. I contacted Stephanie, I arranged a meeting with her and told her I wanted to return to wrestling... She laughed at me, she told me that I wasn't worthy of a contract, that her father was right. She left me sitting there, the anger continued to build inside me, and I promised myself that I would one day make my return, and make Stephanie, Vince, and every single one of you pay for how the McMahon family had treated me. I wasn't going to give up until I had a contract, and then I got a phone call from Brad Maddox.
The crowd boo even louder after hearing Maddox's name spoken.Dave BatistaBrad offered me a solution to my problems, he gave me the opportunity that I had been searching for, to be signed to an iron clad contract that not even Stephanie McMahon can touch. I don't know how he managed it, and to be honest, I don't care. All I had to do, all it took to finally get what I wanted was to take care of a little problem, a problem which will be dealt with...The Miz. One Powerbomb, that's all it took to lay that little brat out on his back, and believe me, it isn't over yet, by the time I'm done, The Miz will not be able to walk on his own. All of the frustration that I've built up over the past four years, all of the anger, the resent, the hatred, it's all going to be unleashed on that reality reject!
The volume of the jeering intensifies and Batista doesn't appreciate it.Dave BatistaSHUT THE HELL UP!
The crowd are taken aback by Batista's outburst and quieten down, but the jeering is still present.Dave BatistaWho the hell do you think you people are?! I'm Batista, I'm the Animal, you will show me the respect that I have earned! I deserve my own spotlight, I deserve my own show, I deserve everything that this damn company has to offer! In fact, give me that spotlight right now!
Batista lowers his microphone and turns to the titantron as if waiting for something. A couple of seconds pass by.Dave BatistaI SAID GIVE ME MY DAMN SPOTLIGHT, NOW!
Batista's fuming, his eyes widen and his veins start to bulge, it's only a couple seconds until the arena darkens out and a bright blue spotlight appears over Batista.Dave BatistaThat's better! As I was saying, now that I'm a part of WCF, everything is going to change, and it's all going to start with The Miz... Happy New Year...
Batista drops his mic to the floor and starts to laugh to himself as he basks in the heat he's receiving.------ This was just a quick promo to explain Batista's thought process and stuff, nothing really to build the feud up yet but I felt it was needed since I'm the first Batista... I think. ------
