10 Wrestlers Who Went Back To WWE After Failing To Become An Actor

Of course, the difference is that in 1990, you didn't tend to get an entire contingency of the audience, waiting with pitchforks in hand to have your head, particularly if, say, you win the Royal Rumble and get handed the main event spot at the biggest show of the year on a silver platter. It's ironic. When Batista left WWE in 2010, he was in the middle of his best period of work in years. He leaves, attempts to become an actor, attempts to do MMA, is rubbish at both and then comes back 4 years later to find everybody hates him. If you think about it, Batista has done as well as he has thus far not to lose his rag totally with the venom-spitting audiences he's been performing in front of. Ironically, Batista is returning to WWE only solidified someone else's super-stardom, not his own. It's is becoming a repeating pattern and any pro-wrester who isn't Dwayne Johnson perhaps should take notice. €œLeave, Try, Fail, Repeat.€ Then they come back. Perhaps it's best just not to leave. At least John Cena has been smart enough to see that.
