Triple H let the sadistic side of his personality out for his No-Holds-Barred match with Batista at WrestleMania, and the result was a damn entertaining - not to mention surprisingly violent - bout between the two veteran Superstars.
The Game took a page out of Randy Orton's psycho playbook and delved into a toolbox, before twisting Big Dave's fingers with a wrench and tearing his nose-ring out with a pliers in a very well executed spot. After more carnage, The Animal regained the upper hand and actually managed to hit his BatistaBomb only for Trips to kick out.
Then, The Cerebral Assassin got a little help from two old friends: The Nature Boy Ric Flair (wooooo!), and a sledgehammer. After a brutal top rope powerbomb on the steps and a couple of Pedigrees, Batista stayed down for the 3-count.
After the match, Dave Bautista officially announced that he was retiring as a WWE wrestler. Thanks for the memories, Dave, and congrats on what turned out to be a hell of a final match.
