• Legendary WWE Superstar Celebrates His Birthday
Famous WWE Veteran “The Animal” Batista (Real name: David Bautista Jr.) turns 50 today.
After not being considered 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 is rumored to return in the near future for one last match against his former Evolution buddy “The Game” Triple H.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BATISTA!
