• Legendary WWE Superstar Celebrates His Birthday
Famous WWE Veteran “The Animal” Batista (Real name: David Bautista Jr.) turns 51 today.
After being considered “not good enough” by WCW Power Plant head coach DeWayne Bruce (Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker), Batista signed with the World Wrestling Federation and was sent to “Wild Samoan” Afa’s wrestling school to learn the ropes, before they sent him to their developmental territory (similar to what NXT is nowadays) Ohio Valley Wrestling in 2000, where he stayed till his debut on WWE TV (shortly after the WWF/WWE name change) in May of 2002.
The Animal wrestled for the WWE from 2002 till he left in 2010, but returned for a few months in 2014 and again in 2019 to have one last match against his former Evolution buddy “The Game” Triple H.
He’s going to get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in a few months during WrestleMania 36 weekend.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BATISTA!
