During the last few weeks of Smackdown, I've noticed that Bautista hasn't wrestled that much. He doesn't even wrestle on Velocity. I don't think he's hurt.
Are they going to give him some sort of push, or is he in the doghouse?
i'm starting to dig him as a monster power move guy, bus his legs rhyme with suck, I just can't get past his goldberg-esque bird legs.
his legs look all shades of puny, every last shade...
i have to give him props on his mean faces. he has a good heal face, something brock has to pick up on.
Jerry "The King" Lawler rhymes with ass and hearing him rant like a 12 year old makes me all shades of angry. Every last shade. That's just my 2.45 Yen.
I say that he's getting Cena-ized: getting his big push pushed back. Also, trade him to RAW so that SHELTON F'N BENJAMIN can be on my TV screen with BROCK F'N LESNAR. Minnesota WRECKING CREW anybody>???

Yous guys remember when THEY BE CLUBBERIN, TONY~!????
When the Rev. D-Von/Deacon Bautista angle first started, I was all for it. I thought it was a cool gimmick perfectly suited for D-Von and I think they couldve done more with it before they ended it so fast.
Speaking of which, why DID they end it so fast?
And on a side note, I dont remember Goldberg's legs being all that puny.

Because the audience didn't care?

towards the end of WCW when i was really watching, I noticed that goldbergs legs, his calfs really, were really really tiny. for a more recent comparison, look at Scott Hall's legs this year. He used to have nice quad and calf development back when he was Razor.

While I agree Hall's proportions are not quite the same as they used to be - I think it's mostly that his upper body is bulkier than it used to be. He's getting on in years, and fat tends to collect in a man's upper body first. He could also be losing muscle in his legs, too, I admit.

This angle, which has gone from being a "clean" wrestling match to an all-out unsanctioned street fight for bloody revenge is apparently sponsored by the book of Joshua.
Bautista's not getting much airtime right now and it doesn't help that he's on a Smackdown show that's filled to the brim with talent. If you move the guy to Raw, you can easily make him a monster heel or face. Then again, I shudder to think how:
1) Brian Gerwitz can turn him into a comedy figure.
2) Triple H can either make him look like an inept heel or he can use him as another face to squash cleanly.

Of course they didnt, no one cares about a gimmick change right away. What I'm saying is that they shouldve given it more time and I think it couldve gone well for them.
You see this? You see how my body's glowing like that? Yeah... a lot of people can't do that. Come get some of this glowing. Oh, okay, you. You want some. You want some of the glowing. Look, man... your soul... I'm going to totally floss with it and chew on your spirit. I read that somewhere. But I'll do it.
I agree that D-Von's better as a tag worker, but I don't wanna see Buh Buh with him anymore. Don't get me wrong, they're one of my favorite teams ever. But, IMHO, Buh Buh's one of the few guys whom the split has discernibly helped. He's really made a niche for himself, carved out a spot as a player. He's far more entertaining in his current style, and I'd rather not see him turn into Road Dogg - a guy who becomes dependent on memories of former tag team greatness in order to get over.

Originally posted by TorchslasherI wonder if D-Von will find Bautista in Cleveland (if you get the reference, then I apologize).
But will he be sailing along when D-Von finds him? Since the way they explained it on SD was that Bautista was signed to D-Von not SD, and then was fired, he probably turns up on RAW, or even as interference in the stip-match.
Thank you Mr. Wanz for the check, now you get an AWA World Title Reign. But be careful, my boy Greg is a heat machine.

You're right, BuhBuh is *much* better off teaming up with Spike and/or Trish every week. Sure has broken out.

Thread ahead: Way to go, Josh! Next thread: San Jose Smackdown house show tomorrow 9/21 Previous thread: I don't think I've ever looked this forward to a press conference.
You're not alone. Hardy is a great worker and has been since his return to WWE. And the crowd is ALWAYS behind him. He gives the bookers several options as well. He can be in a singles match or a tag match and look great.
