And if WrestleMania XX's tagline suggested a spot of foreshadowing, then the 21st instalment's 'WrestleMania goes to Hollywood' was damn near psychic, when you consider the trajectory Dave Bautista's career would end up taking.
For now though, The Animal would have to settle for his first main event of WrestleMania, facing off against his former mentor and then-World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H.
After a typically eventful contract signing - when will they learn? - police separated Batista and The Game as The Animal taunted the champion one last time before Raw went off the air.
(And for those of you wondering, he's signing 'six days 'til WrestleMania', not to be mistaken for 'England 5-1 Germany').
