Dave Bautista, the former WWE star, recently shared his reflections on his wrestling career, providing an honest evaluation of his time in the company. He has successfully transitioned from WWE’s “Animal” to a prominent Hollywood actor.
In a conversation on “Insight with Chris Van Vliet,” Bautista looked back on his wrestling days and contemplated whether he reached the heights of the wrestling industry.
“If I had stayed longer, I might have achieved more,” Bautista acknowledged. “However, I can’t say for sure what it would have been like to be a multi-time World Champion like John Cena or Randy Orton. Nevertheless, I am proud of what I accomplished during my tenure from 2005 to 2010.”
Additionally, Bautista discussed his feelings about potentially being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, a topic he has explored with WWE executive Triple H. “I’ve talked to Hunter about the Hall of Fame, and I sometimes feel my career doesn’t merit that honor.
But he pointed out that I achieved a lot in a short time, which is indeed worthy. He also suggested that my accomplishments outside of WWE contribute to my status as a Hall of Fame wrestler, and I find that perspective agreeable.” Continuing to expand his legacy, Bautista is set to appear in the new film “The Killer’s Game,” which will also feature WWE star Drew McIntyre.
