I don't know, Batista made it look dumb for similar reasons to Sheamus, and it's that he's a big guy (well, he was then) and the spinner belt looks like a toy already, putting the two together just makes it look like he picked it up off a department store shelf for his 8 year old son. It's a less magnified version of how absurd Mark Henry would look with that thing by sheer virtue of his physical appearance.
