Actually, Randy Orton injured his shoulder about three weeks before Wrestlemania. The claims that Batista injured his shoulder are purely for storyline purposes (and it'll give Orton something to do once he returns in about six months). Heh - Batista totally destroyed Orton on Raw. 'Twas great.Originally Posted by Dingo Jellybean
I think Lesnar would definitely have the edge in terms of speed, but Batista would be the stronger of the two. I'd also like to see that match, as I'm a big mark for massive power moves (overhead belly to belly suplexes, military presses, etc), but, unfortunately, the match will probably never happen.But it would've been nice to see Brock vs. Batista, those 2 are like...the same size and such, but I think Brock is a bit stronger while Batista is a bit quicker.
Batista is probably around 6'3", whereas HHH is probably around 6'2". I don't doubt his weight for a second, though. Take one look at those pectorial muscles, those huge arms and that massive chest, and you can see where the 315-317 lbs are. Although HHH is a big guy, he's got nothing on Batista when it comes to muscle mass.They listed Brock as 6'3" 295 lbs. but Batista as 6'5" and 317 lbs. No way Batista is 20 lbs. heavier than Brock, because he's barely bigger than HHH and HHH is like 260 lbs. But eh. The Goldberg vs. Brock match turned out to be a dud.
Back in 2002 - after his quadriceps tear - HHH rehabbed like crazy and came back looking like a radioactive triceratops, and he weighed approximately 275lbs for most of the year. Unfortunately for Tripper (who is a big bodybuilding enthusiast), his muscle mass started to disintigrate after various injuries during 2003. Thankfully, he decided not to try and gain this mass back, and, as a result, his performances have improved considerably over 2004-2005, and his injuries have been few and far between.
