The gaping hole in the picture above is cut right into Batista's left bicep. The Animal had sustained an injury to the arm at the worst possible time: he was the current WWE Champion after defeating Randy Orton at Extreme Rules 2009. That's been the story of Batista's career as a headliner. He kicks up momentum, only to get shutdown with an injury. The same thing had happened with his right triceps in January 2006, which in that instance forced him to resign the World Heavyweight Championship. Unfortunately for Batista, his body type is always going to be suspect to injuries. He was clearly carrying too much muscle mass in those periods, which when you're having to perform agile athleticism can be a real liability. Just like Triple H, those big muscles snap or tear under the intensity. WWE may be predetermined, but the risks are real, as the advert says... you really don't want to try this as home!
