Ater watchnig the new HHH doco, I can honestly say that the man's passion for the business is unrivalled. He appears to be such a down to earth bloke and has nothing but good intentions. I truly feel that company is in good hands when Vince finally hands the reigns over.

As for a Batista return, I would love to see it. Hope he is still in good ring shape and hasn't lost his touch. If his work is anything like he put on in the latter part of his career, we can expect big things.

From memory didn't Batista quit when Cena finished him in the Iquit match? If the rumors are true could he interfere during a camps match when he faces Orton again?

Almost killed Batista's momentum by demanding an extra long (and very boring) match at Mania 21.

There's many he hasn't put over during his career.

of the top of my head he has put over...

HBK
Rock on numerous occasions.
Mick Foley on numerous occasions
Batista
Austin
Undertaker
CM Punk
Jeff Hardy
Brock Lesnar
Shelton Benjamin - that was cool
Edge
Ultimate Warrior
Ken Shamrock

few of these blokes didn't need putting over because they already were... HHH is a ring general and one of the best of our generations. Putting people over has to be believable, and for example putting zac ryder over him is ridiculous, the guy is a comic act... so overrated its not funny!

HHH is a guy who has been put through a fair bit of sh*t because of the click incident at MSG. I remember him eating dog food after a match wh=ith shamrock...

HBK - Shawn was the one who gave HHH his DX start
Rock on numerous occasions - and vice versa
Mick Foley on numerous occasions - Foley was the one losing during their main event feud
Austin - On the PPV before Austin headlined Mania 17 with the Rock, he senselessly lost to HHH.
Undertaker - Everybody puts him over
CM Punk - Punk was red hot until he started feuding with Nash and HHH
Jeff Hardy - let Hardy beat him for the IC title via fluke win, then buried him in the following months
Shelton Benjamin - that was cool - don't recall that, I'm sure it did nothing for Bejamin's career
Edge - don't remember that
Ultimate Warrior - HHH was a nobody back then

Let's not forget his rubbish main event feuds with Kane, Golberg, Booker T and RVD that did nothing for their careers, and of course Orton leaving Evolution and then getting destroyed by HHH in the following months.

This is going to be epic. I can't wait. This is the Raw before the Rumble, so one would have to assume Batista will enter the 30 man match. Could he win it?? He's one of my favourite wrestlers and am so excited he's coming back. Wonder if it is on a full time basis or something similar to Lesnar where he only makes sporadic appearances.

Would he make it in WWE? Amazing performer but being AJ Styles in WWE wouldn't be enough to get him over I don't think? Would need a decent angle or fued to kick him off

AJ hasn't left TNA. And WWE has no interest in him unfortunately.

If he somehow got hired by the WWE, I think a fair feud for him would be with CM Punk, challenging him over the "best in the world" boast (Styles has labelled himself the "real best" a couple of times). It would be a bit like Flair turning up with the NWA belt and calling himself "the real world's champion".
They could put on some outstanding matches, but the WWE probably wouldn't be into that.

Seems to be conflicting stories though as to whether Styles has truly parted ways with TNA or the whole thing's a work.
