WWE Hall of Famer and current Hollywood star Dave Bautista is one of the most sought after actors in the business right now. He made a name for himself by portraying the role of Drax the Destroyer in Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy film franchise. Batista always wanted a movie based on his character but it never came to fruition, which Marvel didn’t really find any need in, much to Batista’s dismay.
Before making it big as a Hollywood star, Batista made a name for himself as one of the top Superstars in WWE, as he was involved in some of the most iconic moments in the company’s history.
AEW talent Wardlow, who has been one of the rising stars in the company, was previously compared to Batista as well. While speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Wardlow stated that he believes Batista had the best physique in pro wrestling history.
”Dave Bautista. So I was a junior in high school in 2005. In 2005, Dave Bautista was in Evolution, peak Evolution era, you know, starting to branch out on his own and I was just amazed by him and I personally think he has the best physique in the history of professional wrestling, if you’re just talking about looks alone. His physique was just mindblowing to me and I just looked at him and I was like, yeah that’s what I will be goin for.
He was a real monster. I still struggle to accept the fact that I’ll never be quite as gigantic as Batista but as close as I can get, I’m happy with it.”
It is also likely Wardlow and MJF’s split will be coming very soon, as the company has been building towards a feud between the two in the future as well.
