Plenty of reactions came about when Dave Bautista was cast as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy. Some highlights included, "wait, the WWE guy?", "hmm, I wonder if he can act", and "oh my god, please tell me he's going to hit some wrestling moves!".

Sadly, while many people were hoping to see him put that veteran WWE status to good use, he didn't drop half as many Batista Bombs as they were hoping. However, he did chuck in an impressively smooth manoeuvre, one which you'd never expect to see from the big man.

During the Thanos encounter on Titan, the heroes were laying into the baddie with some great moves. Doctor Strange was using his signature magic, Spidey was slinging webs, and then came Drax, who slid in with a smooth as hell baseball slide, knocking the Infinity Stone enthusiast to the ground.

It might not have been as flashy as the magic, but it sure was effective.
