HE IS known as the animal, for the fear he generates in the ring. The 6 feet 6 inches, 130 kg giant of a man has been brought to India, by Ten Sports. Ten Sports is the sports channel that has the rights of telecast of all the events of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Batista had debuted in the WWE circuit in the year 2002 and since then, he has gone from strength to strength. After winning the world tag team championship, he also went on to win the WWE Royal Rumble title in the year 2005. That made him eligible for the Wrestlemania match up, which he went on to win to be crowned world heavy weight champion. Batista has a large fan following in America as well as in India. With his large frame, and all muscle body, he is the perfect animal.
In one of his interviews, Batista expressed his desire to work with the most beautiful woman in the world, Aishwarya Rai, who happens to be his favourite Bollywood actress. If given a chance, he would love to act with the Bollywood sensation in a movie. When asked, if he would like to meet her. Batista said that he was aware of the fact that she was married, but if she had been single he would have been interested.
Batista was crowned the Animal, by a WWE commentator Jim Ross, for the way he clapped his chest hard, displaying his features of an animal. The animal has conquered the WWE ring and has attracted the attention of millions of WWE fans all across the world.
When asked about who is the fiercest competitor that Batista had faced, he named the great Khali as his biggest enemy in the ring. He also went on to add that though Khali was a great competitor in the ring, he was a great friend outside it. Batista admitted that he was once chopped so badly by Khali that he feared that his spine was broken into half.
With his signature move of the Batista bomb, the animal is known to finish off his competitors in the ring and win the fight. In his visit to the entertainment capital of Mumbai, Batista will also visit children of the doorstep school in Mumbai. He will interact with the kids at the school and encourage them to take up their careers and build on their dreams. He also went on to say that if he had time, he would love to visit the Taj Mahal, Red Fort, the Gateway of India and other prominent monuments but his short stay in the country will not offer him that comfort.
Batista is one of the most feared and yet most respective wrestlers in the WWE circuit today and his visit to India will surely help in broadening his fan base, as well as attracting people towards the sport of WWE.
