Batista threatens fans who hijack shows; Hogan's emotional reunion with the Giant

Batista’s message to the fans

- Batista: In a recent interview with The Washington Post for the promotion of WrestleMania XXX, he had a message for the fans who hijack shows, while also commenting on him returning as a babyface:

His take on return to WWE as a baby face:

“They told me that I was going to come back and be this huge babyface. I said, ‘no, it’s not going to work.’ They said, ‘no way, they’re dying for you to come back.’ I said, ‘that’s going to last two minutes, just watch.’ And sure enough it did.”

His message to the fans:

“They used to want to interact with the show, but now the crowd almost wants to be the show. Well, if you wanna be the show, take your a– to wrestling school, just like I did, just like everybody else here who is busting their a– and actually become part of the show! Don’t just sit in the audience and try to randomly steal the show.”

The weird game between writers and the audience:

“The people who were writing [the show] were able to lead the crowd — and they still are,” Meltzer says. “But now a lot of the writing is reacting to the crowd as opposed to being ahead of the crowd. They’re ahead of you and they’re manipulating you and you’re manipulating them back. It’s almost like a weird game between the writers and the crowd over who’s in control and who’s got the upper hand.”

The Yes! Movement:

“If you just chant his name for no reason during everybody’s match — it takes away from the show, you’re missing a lot of good entertainment and it’s disrespectful to a lot of really good performers who are putting it on the line,” Batista adds.
