10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Oct 23)

2. Batista Thought WWE Was Incredibly Disorganised

It's fair to say that Batista hasn't missed a lot about the WWE lifestyle. His film career has taken off recently, with appearances in Guardians Of The Galaxy and the latest James Bond movie, 007: Spectre being well-received. The man's last WWE run was in 2014, and it wasn't a huge success story for the man. Fans rebelled over the idea of Batista winning the Royal Rumble and headlining WrestleMania XXX. It's unfair to look solely at Batista's 2014 tenure, because it was a last-minute affair. His main run between 2002-2010 was much more lucrative, both financially and critically. From Evolution to World Titles, Batista was involved in a lot of great matches against the likes of The Undertaker and Triple H. Perhaps unbelievably, the wrestler himself doesn't feel WWE has ever been well organised. Comparing the backstage environments of Hollywood to the pro wrestling juggernaut, Batista says there is no fair comparison. In his eyes, the film industry is much more efficient than the wrestling one. It's well-known that the WWE schedule is pretty hectic, so perhaps that's what Batista is referring to. The statement does seem like a fairly random one, but he obviously much prefers how he's treated in Hollywood.
