10 Irritating Wrestling Chants WWE Fans Really Need To Let Go
7. Better Than Batista!
Fans really need to get off the Animals back. After Batista walked in the door and won the Royal Rumble back in January, fans booed the returning veteran because they wanted their favorite hero Daniel Bryan in the main event. Fair enough. We all wanted Bryan to main event WrestleMania 30. And he did! And he won! The "Better Than Batista" chant first surfaced at NXT Arrival when Emma hit a sit out Power bomb on Paige and the creative NXT fans chanted that her version of the Batista Bomb was better. It was funny at the time. They continue to chant it to this day whenever anyone hits a power bomb of any variation and honestly it's gotten old. Nobody was happy that the 45 year old part timer was chosen to main event 'Mania, but Dave ended up tapping out to Daniel Bryan in the match. Yes WWE booked the hated Batista to take the loss in the triple threat match to appease fans who wanted Bryan to win the Rumble. Not only did he put Bryan over at WrestleMania, but he took the pin fall a month later when the Shield defeated Evolution at Extreme Rules and was the first wrestler eliminated at Payback during their rematch. When did the Rock or Brock Lesnar ever put over fresh talent at three consecutive Pay-Per-Views? Batista's run in WWE this year may not be remembered fondly but, he did exactly what the was booked to do and now he's been gone for two months. There's no reason to keep bashing him. By the way, those kind of chants only allow four syllables. Hearing the NXT fans trying to cram six syllables into each chant is just awkward!
As a wrestling fan I've flown across the Atlantic for the last five years specifically to attend WrestleMania (28 and 30) as well as TNA, ROH, Evolve, Chikara and most recently PWG.
I may have a problem!
But if you're reading my work then you probably love wrestling too, so lets focus on that!
