Dave Bautista is a sought-after talent in the entertainment world, having made a name for himself as Drax the Destroyer in the popular Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy film franchise. This former WWE wrestler has successfully transitioned into acting, demonstrating his versatility and commitment to the craft. Now it appears that Chris Jericho has a very high opinion of Batista as an actor.

Before landing the role of Drax in Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy, Bautista revealed he was struggling financially due to tax issues. But his portrayal of Drax launched his career, leading to prominent roles in Blade Runner 2049, Dune and many other upcoming projects.

Apart from Batista, both The Rock and John Cena are also professional wrestlers who became major stars in Hollywood thanks to their portrayal in numerous movies. That said, everyone has their favorite among the three.

While speaking on First We Feast’s “Truth or Dab: Rapid Fire, Chris Jericho was asked to rank the acting abilities among Batista, The Rock, John Cena and Hulk Hogan. Jericho ranked Batista over them all.

I would say the best actor of all of them is Bautista,” Jericho said. “I think his work and his diversity, from what I’ve seen — I think he’s the best actual actor. And then I’ll put Dwayne Johnson, Cena, and Hulk Hogan after that. Although — ‘Santa With Muscles?’ Chef’s kiss.”

Dave Bautista’s acting career is thriving, as he’s expressed a desire to take on diverse roles. It remains to be seen what other parts he has planned, but fans eagerly anticipate his future performances.
