7 Reasons Batista Should Stay Away From WWE Until 2015
3. It Hurts His Value As A Movie Star If He's Wrestling
Following the success of Guardians of the Galaxy, Batista and his management are likely hearing from a lot of people in Hollywood that had no idea who he was before. When you're in one of the biggest movies of the year that made $550 million worldwide in the month of August you're a big deal all of a sudden. Now that he's talking to those Hollywood types more often and likely dealing with major movie offers on his plate, his agents will be in his ear telling him you don't need the wrestling business anymore. Why take a bump if it can get you injured and cost you a movie role? It makes sense to not do wrestling if Hollywood wants you. The key to being a movie star is picking your spots. Don't just pick any role. Be selective. You shouldn't be on TV every week if you're going to be in major movies. It's why The Rock left for so long. Sure he came back and had a few matches, but that's because he missed the crowd. It's not because his Hollywood advisers wanted him putting his body on the line.
