• Batista Says He Had To Beg & Plead To Get His Dream Match In WWE
During a recent appearance on Talk Is Jericho, former WWE Champion Batista was asked what was the favorite match of his career.
Batista revealed that it was against Rey Mysterio at a WWE Live Event in Mexico when he was a heel.
Batista noted that working against Mysterio in Mexico was his dream and that he had to beg & plead to make it happen:
“It was with Rey Mysterio at a house show in Mexico. I begged and pleaded to get this match.
We weren’t set up to work each other, but I was leaving the company, it was 2010-ish, I was really hot as a heel at this point and I felt it was my last chance to work Rey as a heel in Mexico, it’s the dream.
We went and gave them a pay-per-view match. We went back and got a standing ovation. Rey kicked out of my finish, we gave them every bell and whistle we could think of.
That’s what I wanted my career to be. I gave them their hero. I was really proud of that match.”
