This Day in Wrestling History

By -
This day 3 years ago all the members of the WWE universe saw what we become a WWE legends last match in WWE. I am speaking of Over The Limit 2010 and "The Animal" Batista's last match against John Cena. Batista in many respects was becoming the top heel in WWE and was just starting to get over as a heel. It wasn't the match it was the direction WWE was going TV-rating wise as in the switch to PG that made Batista want to leave. But I guess it could have also been he didn't want to be a heel just yet as some may forget for the first 4 years of his career Dave was a heel.

In 2002 WWE saw it's future debut the shape of three men and it was in the span of 3 month it happened as well. First it was Randy Orton who debuted on April 25th 2002 against Hardcore Holly and would later become Dave's stable mate in Evolution. Then in May it was Batista who debuted as Deacon Batista the body guard for Rev. Devon. Last but not least it was in June that future face of WWE debuted I of course mean John Cena. These three guys would go on to win a total of 27 World Titles from 2005-2010. For someone to say that doesn't mean a thing I disagree. because it sure as hell means something when 3 guys combine to win more titles together in 5 years then Flair did in over 30 years.

Batista was at one point a top name in WWE and was a big draw but I think those days are behind him not that I don't think he can do it anymore it's just I think his age will get the better of him. I think it's best if we are allowed to remember Batista for what he was and not if were to comeback. They should leave well enough alone.

Below is John Cena vs Batista from OTL 2010 and highlights from said PPV:

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo...

Spring Cleaning Coming Early!!!!

As of this writing there are rumors going through WWE that Zack Ryder could be on his way out of WWE not only with other people but he could be asking for his release in the very near future. As he has hinted on more then one occasion that he is frustrated with how WWE has been using him. At first it boiled over back in the Summer with the mid card guys but now since nothing has changed Ryder and others have adopted the "I don't give a s***" attitude when it comes to if they get fired or not. Once again I don't know everyone all I know is that it is a lot of the mid-card & divas who feel they are not being valued as good as they should be. Ryder has said it on his Youtube show Z True Long Island Story that WWE dropped the ball with him and that 2012 sucked for him. Which I agree with both statements I mean it was the perfect opportunity for WWE to push someone new but they instead botched it and made him lose all of his momentum. For one reason he wasn't push ...
