NEWS: Dave Bautista Comments on Why He Left the WWE
Former WWE Superstar Dave Bautista recently sat down for an interview with Chris Van Pillet. Bautista was promoting his role in the new Jame Bond film "Spectre." Bautista; however, had something very interesting to say about his departure from the WWE:
"I was just constantly butting heads with them creatively, which is something we talked about well beforehand, and I was promised things that weren’t delivered to me. For one, I didn’t want to go back as a babyface. I said it’s not going to work, they don’t want to see me as a babyface. Nobody wants to see Batista as a babyface. I’m the worst babyface ever. But I’m a good heel, I know how to be a heel, I’m comfortable being a heel, and the fans want me to be a heel. But they tried to shove me down everybody’s throats, and they rebelled. They (fans) are not idiots, and they don’t like it and they don’t want it. So, it just makes them rebel more. Then it became a state of confusion where they didn’t know what they wanted to do with me so they’d just send me out every week regurgitating the same crap and it was just horrible. After I had finally been there for a few months where I found my niche when people started reacting to me in a positive way, I had to go and fulfill my (movie) obligations with Marvel.”
Batista will likely be back with the company at some point, if for nothing other than to promote a movie, as his Hollywood career continues to blossom.
