10 Reasons Batista Is Genuinely Hated By WWE Fans

7. Walking Out On WWE In 2010, Criticized Product While Away

During The Rock€™s time away from a WWE ring, he always spoke positively about his time in the company and about how much he respected the business. He obviously has great reasons for this: he€™s a third-generation superstar who owes a fair amount of his early movie success to his wrestling career. Also, a lot of wrestling fans will go see a movie just because he€™s in it. Any added buzz helps. While Batista also genuinely respects the business and is grateful for the opportunities it gave him, he left the company in a huff in 2010 and lashed out against the product several times. He created a Twitter account and immediately criticized WWE. While a lot of fans probably agree with his criticisms (the PG stuff can be brutal at times), it looks like he was that grumpy former star who then came back for a paycheck, not because he wants that one last good run.
