10 Wrestlers Who Suffered A Crippling Crisis Of Confidence

7. Batista

What do you see when you look at Batista? Muscles, fame, wealth, women and success would all be valid answers. Back in 2005, when the 'Animal' was riding high as World Heavyweight Champion, he could only see exit signs as he darted towards the sanctuary of his hotel room away from eager crowds.

Big Dave's WWE 24 documentary was an open book on his mental health.

"You just want to crawl under a rock and hide," was just one of the many surprising quotes from a doc that explored Batista's fragility when he should've been at his most confident. He'd always been shy, and some thought he was arrogant backstage because he was too timid to come up and shake their hands when he first signed.

There was also a simple reason why Batista began wearing sunglasses as World Champ. He couldn't stop his eyes from darting all over the place due to anxiety, and he figured the shades would give him a mask to hide behind.
