During a recent conversation with Chris Van Vliet, the well-known wrestling figure Dave Bautista went into some intriguing topics within the world of wrestling, revealing details that fans hadn’t heard before. Bautista, who has extensive experience in WWE, shared insights that differed greatly from the experiences of some of his peers.
One highlight of Bautista’s discussion was the 2005 Royal Rumble match botch, where former WWE boss Vince McMahon famously ran down to the ring, only to tear both of his quadriceps in the process. Bautista admitted he was somewhat confused by the situation and couldn’t quite understand what was happening at the time.
He also confessed that he was quite worried, unsure of what to expect next in such an unexpected and chaotic moment. Bautista’s comments offer a rare glimpse into the hidden aspects of WWE and put an accent on the unique career experiences he’s had.
“I think later on, I didn’t realize during the match, I didn’t know why he was sitting there. I had no idea what was going on, I was just worried about the match. Then they got him out of there. I think I found out later on.”-Dave Bautista said, as quoted by Pwmania.
Soon after the incident, Bautista found out that Vince McMahon wanted to have a chat with him. Naturally, he was worried and unsure about what the meeting might produce. As he approached McMahon’s office, his anxiety was evident; he was dreading the possibility that this could be the end of his WWE career.
In his mind, he was already bracing for the worst, mentally preparing himself for a farewell to the company. He felt extremely anxious as he neared what he thought could be a very important moment in his professional life.
“I got to the building and somebody immediately said, ‘Vince wants to see you in his office.’ I was saying, ‘Ah, here it comes.’ So I went to his office, and my heart is beating, just in my head I’m packing my bags.”- he said.
When Bautista arrived and saw that McMahon was in a good mood, he was initially relieved and confused, thinking he might be about to get fired. Instead, McMahon reassured him that wasn’t the case. He expressed his enthusiasm, praising the incident as something he really enjoyed. McMahon appreciated the authenticity of the moment, stressing that it was honest and unpredictable, which only added to its appeal.
In a Buzzfeed video, Bautista explained that he hoped to remain connected with WWE because he has a massive respect for it. He clarified that his departure wasn’t due to a lack of love for the WWE Universe; rather, his growing passion for acting was the main reason for his shift in focus. Despite his commitment to pursuing a career in acting, Bautista expressed a strong fondness for professional wrestling and hoped WWE would keep the door open for him in the future. This amazing wrestler emphasized that he still values his relationship with the company and continues to love the wrestling world.
Bautista has left an enormous mark on WWE, and fans of the company will never forget him. His incredible wrestling career carved out a significant chapter in WWE's history, and he remains one of the most celebrated stars in the company's legacy.
Even though Bautista has shifted his focus to acting, many wonder if he might one day return to WWE. While he’s currently dedicated to his acting career, feeling ready for new challenges, his passion for professional wrestling hasn’t completely faded. He’s deeply immersed in film and is determined to succeed in this new field.
However, given the unpredictable nature of the wrestling world, it’s hard to completely rule out the possibility of his return. With how things evolve in WWE, there’s always a chance that Bautista might step back into the ring or continue to focus on his acting career.
Bautista and Hall of Fame
There’s been a lot of talk about Bautista potentially being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, but nothing has been finalized yet. Fans are curious and keen to know why this process has taken so long, and many believe that Bautista, given his massive contributions to wrestling, truly deserves to be recognized among the sport’s greatest.
Despite the wait, Bautista remains patient and hopeful. He’s still dreaming of that Hall of Fame honor and continues to hold out hope that one day he’ll achieve it. The delay has only heightened the anticipation, and fans are excited about the possibility of seeing him take his rightful place among wrestling’s legends.
For now, Bautista has career plans that he wants to achieve in the coming period.
