Batista On His Deacon Batista Character

WWE Legend turned Hollywood Superstar Dave Bautista comments on his time as Deacon Batista, debuting with D-Von Dudley who had been repackaged as Reverend D-Von #wwe #wrestling #batista

Cena, batista, Orton and Lesnar. The game changers of the ruthless aggression era.

There should be a documentary about what Finlay has done behind the scenes

It seems Dave Finlay is Batista's best friend.
Not Hunter, not Flair, not even Eddie Guerrero.

Fit just has a way of bringing out your fullest potential from a violent and physical standpoint. He’ll break your nose in a match and let you do the same all for the art of getting people to believe the story of the match. Even if it’s just a quick 5 minutes. Such a good pro. I hope people like him and William Regal get inducted into the Hall of Fame before their careers are over.

There was just something about Batista, even as the deacon. Once you saw him, you knew he was going to be the world champion at some point.

[WrestlingGod-fv]

I think he did well pairing with Devon even though he never loved the gimmick much

[sidesgodtv]

I greatly respect the growth and development of batista a real legend 🫡

[DyanLucas]

i believe dave himself said he wanted finlay to induct him into the hall of fame

[zxtreme]

One of the things interesting about wrestling is there a lot of guys who may not have been “world champions” but their influence through the industry both when they were active and after was monumental.

Dave Batista is a legend and it’s crazy how he is also a movie star

[ChazRR]

It feels weird seeing Dave talk about wrestling

[pablsauced]

Finley is one of those under appreciated guys in the business. Guys like him and dusty literally shaped and molded a whole generation of wrestlers.

[caligrownvisuals]

I would choose Batista in wwe because his stats were always insane and the Batista 💣 was always devastating.

[sidesgodtv]

If we all has batista mindset we all would be in a better place

[ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

I never cared for his wrestling career but he is a fantastic actor

[PressPauseProductions]

Deacon Batista never being in a game was a crime

[bilogskii]

I mean if you see someone with his size and physique you would instantly see his potential.

[seraphinaaizen]

The Deacon gimmick was a total albatross, and it could have seen Batista become another "big guy" who just floated through the midcard until being future endevoured. Glad he managed to escape it and find his groove.

[ITSHIM]

Don’t ask him about Bubba Ray or he goes “Bret Hart hates Goldberg” mode

[garyk]

I always considered Fit Finlay highly underrated.
