The Miz says that he heard Rowdy Roddy Piper was going to bring out the favorite to win the Battle Royal, so he decided to come out. The Miz brags that he’s won the Main Event of Wrestlemania, unlike Piper and Andre The Giant. The Miz claims that the 29 other Superstars don’t compare to him just like Piper’s Pit doesn’t compare to MizTV.

#ScumbagSheamus comes out and tells The Miz has he ever heard the saying that it’s better to appear stupid and keep your mouth closed instead of opening it and removing all doubt.

#ScumbagSheamus says that ship sailed for Miz a long time ago, but when it comes to TV Shows, Miz is not fit to hold Piper’s Kilt. #ScumbagSheamus says that in the Andre The Giant Battle Royal, he sees a pint and the Andre The Giant Memorial Trophy in his future, and a Brogue Kick in Miz’s future.

#3MBatista – Snapshots: Spotlight

In Snapshots, 3MBatista searches for images of Batista to share.

We all know that Batista is an experienced wrestler. After taking a break from the WWE, he competed in Mixed Martial Arts where he remains undefeated (1 – 0, Baby!). Even though he’s returned to the squared circle, he still keeps up with other fighting styles. Recently, he earned a purple belt in Brazilian Jujitsu at the Gracie Academy, the logo he wears on his tights.

No matter what color belt Batista’s earned, he’s always in the spotlight.

Deal with it!

#3MBatista – Zach Looks Back: The Punjabi Prison Match

In Zach Looks Back, your humble wrestling fan takes a look at classics found on the WWE Network. We’re using the term ‘classics’ loosely.

For the past few months, everyone has been talking about the momentum of one of the greatest superstars of this or any generation. He gets a reaction anytime he is on TV. He’s not your stereotypical wrestler. He’s a former champ set to be in a high profile match at Wrestlemania. You know who I’m thinking about. If you know, chant YES! YES! YES! for the one and only, BATISTA!!!

Batista has come a long ever since donning a suit vest and carrying around a collection plate for D-Von Dudley. He’s overcome many criticisms like people saying that he looks like a mid-40s grandfather who tries to hard or that he wears skinny jeans too much or that only Michael Cole has a worse collection of tattoos. Others argue that his career was due to Randy Orton’s post-Evolution failure, or his friendship with Eddie Guerrero or the series of matches he had with Rey Mysterio where Rey carried The Animal through and through.

Well, I say, BOO! Batista is a National Treasure – from Washington D.C. no less – and should be treated as such.

3MB_20140324RAW_010To illustrate his main event status and ability to have 5-star matches, let’s go back to 2007 and No Mercy. Perhaps one of the greatest PPVs of all time, featuring CM Punk vs. Big Daddy V, not one, two, but THREE HHH matches, and a show so good that five of the competitors on the show are still employed by the WWE. The main match we need to review, and study for future generations, is Batista vs. The Great Khali.

Batista’s tattoos are so good, this zobmie wants to take a bite out of them. But you can’t pierce The Animal. Silly, Zombie…

DEAL WITH IT!

#3MBatista – Cheap Pop: The Warlord

In Cheap Pop, Three Man Batista discusses random topics with a slight historical bend.

Fun Fact: ‘The Animal’ Batista says that The Warlord is his favorite wrestler of all time. At 3ManBatista, that is the equivalent of winning the World Title. Why did Batista gravitate towards this Power of Pain while others didn’t? Let’s take a look:

3MBatista_TheWarlord_001The Warlord is known, in the WWF / WWE, as a wrestler with brute strength and face-paint. Unfortunately, he was around in the era of wrestlers with brute strength and face-paint like the Ultimate Warrior, the Legend of Doom and Demolition, the team that the Warlord and his tag team partner, the Barbarian, feuded with for  several months.
