Mayweather/Pacquiao & Triple H/Batista
Dave Batista is placing his bet again on Pacquiao when the Filipino ring icon and undefeated American superstar Floyd Mayweather face off in a mega bout slated for March 13.
“I think Manny is going to kill him. And I believe that,” the Filipino-Greek Batista said during a press conference Saturday. “Even if I wasn’t a fan, just watching him in the ring, he’s so impressive. He’s in a different league.”
Batista, who stands at 6-foot-6 and weighs 290 pounds, also admits to getting a lot of ribbing from fellow wrestling star and boxing fan Triple H.
“Triple H is kinda tight with Floyd Mayweather so there’s a constant argument with us,” Batista said laughing. “But at the end of the day he knows that I’m right.”...More?

Let the bidding war begin for pro wrestling's hottest free agent: Ric Flair.
The "Nature Boy" is officially back on the market, having just returned to the ring for the first time since a ballyhooed World Wrestling Entertainment "retirement" in March 2008. The 61-year-old Flair worked main events on a tour of Australia with Hulk Hogan.
Flair said he rekindled an old friendship with Hogan that had frayed when both worked under Eric Bischoff in the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling during the 1990s. "It was great," Flair said Wednesday night shortly after returning stateside. "Everything is good between us now, like nothing ever happened."
