I remember how awesome Smackdown was back when you switched over. You will always be one of my favorite wrestlers. You were so fun to watch man. Now you’re killing it in these movie roles. You’ve been doing so freaking awesome man.

Thank you Dave! I remember New Years Revolution in Puerto Rico after the show you came out to say thanks the fans because every one cheer for you and you still with Evolution. That was a special moment. Happy Birthday! Blessings for you and your family.

Batista’s brutally honest opinion about Cena
Evolution’s Animal Beast exposed WWE for favoring John Cena all the time. In a recent interview, The Guardians of the Galaxy star revealed to the WWE Universe that the company was biased toward him during his wrestling days.
The talented actor stated that the company would run toward The Champ with any big or small project without even considering him, even when both of them had equal potential. The 3-Time World Tag Team Champion felt WWE was not providing him with “equal opportunities” as The Prototype.
He made several scathing attacks on The Face that runs the Place, stating that The 16-Time World Champion doesn’t care about “the boos or t-shirts”

Typically, people refrain from picking a fight with their bosses. But The 290-pounder does not come under that category. He once threatened his boss for his girlfriend.
In a podcast, Kelly Bolin, then-manager of Ohio Valley Wrestling, revealed how Batista intimidated him when he made a joke about his then-girlfriend. While going to a baseball game, the Army of the Dead star asked for a lift from his then-boss, Bolin.

Bolin, as a joke, said about wanting to take “cute little girl” Angie instead of The Animal. This somehow offended the star, and he then warned his boss to never hit on his girlfriend ever again.
