If you wanna give him a pass once he started feuding with Kane, that's fine. If you're arguing that the build to Backlash and the eventual match shouldn't count because it wasn't about him, you're looking for excuses.
There's a big difference between Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels w/ Chris Benoit and Batista vs. Triple H in the continuously destruction of The Empire. Backlash '05 also had Hogan & HBK teaming up -- a very clear semi-main.

You can say they're excuses, but that can you can make excuses is kind of the point. There's not that much difference between them. In fact, the source that I'm using has both the 2004 and 2005 buys as almost exactly the same (320,000). And Vengeance 2005 was also treated as a bit of a super-card, with Angle vs. Michaels and Cena defending the WWE Title as well.

I think you've still got a long way to go before you prove that Batista is a significantly bigger draw.
