10 Batista Controversies That James Bond Fans Need To Know About

6. His Backstage Fight

Batista made headlines in 2006 when news broke that Batista had been involved in a fight with Booker T. The fight took place at a commercial shoot for that year's SummerSlam pay-per-view and was the result of Booker calling Batista out for comments that he had made about the Smackdown brand and wrestlers in interviews. Apparently Booker though Batista had an attitude problem and demanded an apology and/or explanation from The Animal. An apology was not forthcoming and the two instead engaged in a shouting match which inevitably turned physical. According to most accounts of the incident, Booker pummelled Batista before the fight was broken up by fellow wrestlers. Afterwards a lot of the wrestlers expressed their gratitude to Booker for teaching Batista a lesson. Could Batista get into a scuffle with somebody on the Spectre set? While we don't envisage him giving Chrisoph Waltz a Batistabomb, stranger things have happened in Tinseltown.
