Hi Batista. I have to be honest - I didn't like your programme with JBL half as much as your feud with Triple H? What was it like working with JBL?
Richard, London

It was very difficult and I was a little disappointed with our matches.

JBL and I have absolutely zero chemistry.

Enough said about that.

Are you looking forward to the Triple H v Ric Flair programme? Could Evolution ever reform now all four of you have gone your separate ways?
Lorrie McDonald

Absolutely - it's going to be good! Triple H and Ric have awesome chemistry and, as a fan, this is a dream match.

I was there for the Homecoming show and the mood in the building when Triple H attacked Ric was very emotional, you could feel the tension in the building.

As for Evolution getting back together - never say never.

Now's not the time but what we had in Evolution was incredible and it was an amazing thing for all our careers.

One thing we're all serious about is that we don't want to recreate it or add other people in.

Evolution is Evolution and if something was to happen in the future then it would have to be all four of us.

How often do you now speak to Triple H? Is it hard not having him on Smackdown with you?
Kevin, Tottenham

It's not hard, but I am still getting used to Triple H not being there.

I still look to him for advice, he's got a mind for this business like nobody else. We speak at least once a week.

Triple H won't be critical unless I ask him, because he and the company made this decision for me to be my own man and carry this company on my shoulders. But I do ask a lot!

How well did the WWE's feeder federation OVW prepare you for the big time?
Kev

I really wasn't prepared well for the WWE in OVW and when I came up there were a few times where my job was in jeopardy - and I think that's not fair.

There are still people brought up without the right preparation. Look at Bobby Lashley - I don't even think he's close to ready.

Bobby Lashley, if held back for a while, could have been another Brock Lesnar. He's got the amateur accolades and he's an incredible athlete.

Then there's guys who get brought up and given bad gimmicks. Take Mordecai, I don't think there's anybody in our company who could have pulled off that character. It was a bad choice.

But with Muhammed Hassan, a different person would have made that character work.

He was helped a lot with his promos and in the ring I don't think he held his own at all.

Daivari, on the other hand, was perfect - if only we could have taken Daivari's mind and stuck it in Muhammed Hassan's body.

I liked Mark Copani as a person, but he's one of the people whose heart just wasn't in it. He said he could live "with or without" wrestling and that is hard to listen to for guys like me who live and breathe for this business.

Hello Batista. What do you think of UFC - both the show itself and its fighters? Would you ever have a match there?
Rey, El Cajon, California

I'm a big fan of UFC and some of my good friends are UFC fighters. Tim Sylvia is a very close friend of mine.

Competitively I think UFC is going to have a following, but it will never have the following professional wrestling has - for the simple fact that in the WWE we control the excitement and entertainment.

With real fighters it's exciting to a certain point but we can turn up the volume when we have to and they can't.

UFC is not something I'd consider - there's not nearly enough money in it for me to go and get my face pounded in by guys who've trained all their lives as UFC fighters.

Do you ever watch any NWA:TNA? Do you think competition would be good for the WWE? Are there any TNA wrestlers that have impressed you?
Vikram Sangar

I've actually not ever watched any of their shows. I saw a press conference that they did, which I wasn't very impressed with.

I've also seen clips of their car wreck matches with AJ Styles doing his stunts. That's not wrestling. Wrestling is storytelling.

But at the same time, I have friends in TNA and I wish them the best. Those type of matches definitely have their place, it's just not my thing.

I also welcome the competition, which I think can only be good for the wrestling business.

What do you think of the new Ultimate Warrior DVD, which buries a wrestling legend many fans still love today?
Shaun Johnson, Nottingham

I have not seen the DVD and don't know much about it.

I have never met The Ultimate Warrior - or guys like Bret Hart and Randy Savage - and would never judge anybody before I meet them.

I haven't heard anybody say good things about Warrior, but the one thing you can never take away is that he was exciting.

He's like Goldberg. He was someone who was not the most technical wrestler, didn't have the best moves or psychology - but at the same time you just had to respect his intensity and people loved him because of that. That simple element can draw people in.

I did like The Ultimate Warrior, but I was always more a fan of The Warlord and Ricky The Dragon Steamboat.

My rope shake is a total Warrior rip off - I've never denied it!

Would you like to see a Raw v Smackdown feud or should the shows be kept completely separate?
Thomas, Leeds

I would love to see Raw v Smackdown and more cross-promotional matches, especially on big PPVs.

I would love the opportunity to work with Kurt Angle and John Cena and for selfish reasons I'd love to be undisputed WWE world champion.

An undisputed championship match is something that could happen one day in the future, but not until much further down the line.

Who would be your dream opponent for WrestleMania 22 in Chicago?
Jim, Ipswich

Brock Lesnar, without a doubt. It's a dream match for a lot of people, including myself.

We could have the bout that Goldberg v Lesnar should have been. People expected so much from that, but neither one of them had their hearts in it. I think if Brock did return my heart would be in it, as would his - we've always had a healthy competition between us.

I have sent the message out to Brock as much as I can, I really hope he comes back.

He said he's done a lot of growing up and mentally I believe he's ready to return. So much weight was put on his shoulders at the time so fast, and he was just a kid then, that he couldn't cope with it.

I remember having a drink with Undertaker before I won the title. I told him I was enjoying myself and he said: "Enjoy it while it lasts, because when you win that title you'll be working your ass off."

Being world champion is physically so demanding, ask anybody who has held the belt. You're constantly travelling and working and there is also the mental pressure, as you're stressing over business aspects that you've never had to worry about before.

If I'd had that much pressure put on me at Brock's age I wouldn't have lasted.

I don't know what the problem is between him and the WWE right now, but there would be nothing but good things in store for Brock if he returned.

Everybody in the company would be happy to see him, as he would bring up attendances and we'd all make more money.

I don't personally bear him any animosity over how he left, although he definitely could have handled it more smoothly, and he'd be welcomed back into the locker room with open arms.

Although the fans might not be too nice to him!

Well, I disagree about his comments on TNA, Wrestling is suppose to be WRESTLING, NOT Storytelling just like Joey Styles mentioned.

Didn't you already post this?

That was the 1st part that I've posted, this is the 2nd part.
