Random question but I've read a few places online lately about Batista's slow face turn in 05 and how he was subtly undermining HHH. I've seen when he put HHH through the table but are there any good video packages that show the whole change?
Or does anyone remember it well enough to tell me about it?

This video sums it up very well. It was a good build up of how Triple H wanted to keep Batista as his henchman in Evolution and tried to get him to challenge for the Smackdown HWC after he won the Royal Rumble rather than challenge him for the Raw HWC.

Is it me or had the Orton V Wyatt match lost all stream since Randy Orton committed arsene? The whole feud seems like an afterthought, which is weird considering how long they had to build it.

Orton has phoned it in for weeks now. Even Triple H said in an interview yesterday that Randy does 'just enough to get by' and only applies himself at times.

I still love what AJ said "Randy burns someone's house down and suddenly he's the number one contender again" :lol:

If Orton wins the title they surely have to let him feud with AJ Styles with him dropping the title at Summerslam to a very happy crowd.

Assuming Styles doesn't switch to Raw after Wrestlemania..

@VP89 - one of the predictions should be how many times "Ultimate Thrill Ride" is said at WM. :)

Time's up I'm afraid.

I myself am pissed off I forgot to enter Rowan as a returning superstar.
