batista humble dude doestn like to be bothered much more of a serious guy..to be honest he does all this for the money but who blames him when ur making the grenn dollar! but overall he keeps his stature and personal life to himself when off camera or just leaving the wwe he still keep it to himself and doesnt go public much just mma now
He doesn't ignore his fans. Do you not see in this video that he waves to people while walking in? Also I met him here in Belfast. He certainly didn't ignore me. He was walking out past numerous fans, he was going to a signing and didn't have time to stop. I put my hand out, he shook my hand and said hi to me. He was lovely.
i heard batista's an asshole, which is ashame cuz hes a kickass wrestler, but when ya get that kinda money, ppl change which is stupid cuz they think their king shit. sux hes an ass in real life but ppl choose their routes in life
I think Pro Wrestling is the most admired theater in human history. I bet more People would prefer Pro Wrestling over Shakespeare plays. lol I would. I don't even see what is so great about Shakespeare because the dude clearly loved writing boring storys.
This reaks of irony. "storys". lol. Learn to spell, and then maybe try to criticize Shakespeare.
Pro-wrestling is a fake sport/soap opera. If you think it's the most admired theater, then you're badly, BADLY mistaken. Many people despise wrestling, and a part from a handful of people (Hulk Hogan, HBK, Stone Cold and The Rock) nobody knows who the wrestlers are.
If I asked a non-wrestling fan if they knew who Batista was, they wouldn't know, and they think Chris Benoit = a guy who murdered.
Dude, Pro-wrestling is very popular. It's more popular than real wrestling or MMA. To think, people choose soap opera fighting over the real stuff. If you compare a UFC main event to a Wrestlemania event, WWE would just laugh at them. Pro-wrestling is just great entertainment because it involves storylines, colourful characters and exciting matches. It's the most second most popualr "sport" in Japan and Mexico. And Shakespeare is boring IMO.
It's popular in it's own right, yes. But compared to movies, videogames, and so many other types of theater and drama it's not. It's not as popular as things like boxing either.
But to be honest, for as many people who like pro-wrestling, it's also got just as many haters. I'm sure you've heard the people who go around saying "wrestling is fake", "wrestling is bad acting", and so on.
WWE is the only "big" pro-wrestling brand. Sure, we have/had TNA, WCW, ECW, etc. But they're virtually unknown
All those that despise wrestling can just f*ck off because there are much more lovers than haters. Sold-out arenas, great ratings and best selling videogames I.E. SvR series or WWE: Smackdown series. Wrestling does not need to compete with any other theater or mock sport because like you said "It's popular in it's own right".
The ratings nowadays are very average. lol. And the SvR/SmackDown! games usually don't sell more than 1-2 million copies (other popular games sell 5-6+ million), and that's on a good year.
It is popular in it's own right, yes, but it doesn't compare to other types of entertainment or theater. An averagely hyped hollywood movie on an opening weekend has like 10x the ticket sales of WrestleMania.
I say bring back the Attitude Era and all it's glory. During the Attitude Era, 1996-2002, wrestling dominated the market and no-one, not even a non-wrestling fan, can say otherwise.
The Attitude Era was WWF's glory years, yes. And it's how people like The Rock and Stone Cold became known to the average person.
But you should also know that, the Attitude Era was when the WWF began to start heavily marketing itself, including outside the United States. It was also controversial, as loads of parents criticized it.
There's a reason they only censor the WWF scratch logo, and not the retro "block" one.
Nowadays, nobody really knows who the wrestlers are anymore. Many people still call the WWE the 'WWF'. A lot of people still think the likes of Hulk Hogan, The Rock and Stone Cold still wrestle.
They do not know who the hell John Cena, Randy Orton and Batista is. WWE is definitely not what it used to be.
It is. Oh, and the fact that teenaged girls and kids younger than 10 love John Cena and Randy Orton, I've heard both of them being praised for how hot they are.
That, my friend, sells merchandise. If the likes of TNA decided tommorow they'd up their game and become big and violent, and move iMPACT! to Monday's or Friday nights, and somehow this resulted in WWE losing money and ratings, I can guarentee WWE would transform itself back to the Attitude Era.
The likes of John Cena would be demoted to Mid Card status.
Personally, this is something I'd love to see. I don't see why any WWE fan wants TNA to go out of business, when in fact they could be the cure to WWE.
Actually Letcherism, the reason why the WWF scratch logo is censored is because Vince lost a lawsuit with the World Wildlife Foundation to the WWF name. Vince changed it to the scratch logo without paying them.
No, the scatch WWF logo is censored because that was when they began heavily marketing internationally and pissed off the World Wildlife Fund, I know all about the lawsuit, thanks.
Your explanation doesn't explain why the block logo was censored.
I've heard that Vince didn't pay the World Wildlife Fund or even asked permission when they changed it to the scratch logo. That's why they censor the scratch logo to this day and not the block logo. The block logo is not censored...
I don't understand when these so-called "fans" get autographs why don't they show some emotion like a smile or something. They just stare with blank expressions while Batista signs the thing. Being face to face with the actual star should be more meaningful than an autograph, so crack a smile or some shit. I think a lot more fans need to shake hands with the star to, it's a sign of respect. But I guess Americans don't care as long as they have their autograph to sell on ebay.
@zardcat1111 this is a very late response but who gives a fuck, you are insinuating that the only reason every american goes to autograph signings is to sell them on e-bay, well I'm american and I have hundreds of autographs, both wrestling and none wrestling, and I have NEVER sold any of them on e-bay, I wouln't even think of it because I love and treasure my autographs. So quit being so Goddamn ignorant
funny how batista was main eventing wrestlemania 21 and now cena is headlining todays wrestlemanias. that is shit batista is so much cooler! Cena is boring the only thing exciting is the f u and his enterance. Batista use to be the guy with the top push in 2005 now wwe is over pushing cena. The 2008 game gave cena a 97 rating! WTF? better then HHH Undertaker Austin and The rock! That is f'd up. If WWE would have Batista vs Cena at Wrestlemania they would prob f'in have Cena win even
@fireglitch For the most part. I mean when I met him, he didn't even look at me. I don't care for him as a superstar to be honest. Not cool out the ring either.
I met him hella times he remebereed me still whe I went there he said I've seen you a alot of shows and signings he asked how do you get all those seats at shows I asked hi if he knew my uncle because my uncle works for the WWE and he gives me tix and stuff.
