He was doing so well in wwe until 2014, wwe kind of screwed up his return due to Daniel popularity and guardian of the galaxy was going to release in August 2014 and batista saying the movie is going to be successful, but someone said it won't be successful and that made Bautista angry so he quit the wwe and he prove wwe wrong when his movie made so much money
he used to shop at my vitamin shoppe in 2015. every Saturday he would come in when he was filming guardian of the Galaxy 2. he is the most humble gentle giant I've ever met
I love his commercials he does where he’s in a boat promoting some streaming service! He almost looks like a well muscled Santa Claus. He needs to do a comedy.
Dave Bautista is just so incredible in his transformation of wrestler-turned-actor. And he truly is showing every time how much acting means to him, and how much getting better as an actor is for him. He's extremely nice, kind, wonderful, humble, vulnerable, funny, and such a cool person.
Him and Jonathan Groffs performance were amazing. I really hope this opens more doors for Groff, its nice to see him on the big screen apart from his broadway and netflix performances.
Because he invest himself in the character, as of the Rock he makes the character adapt to him. Batista is actually little by little becoming a great actor. I’m sure that he is on his way to become the best paid actor like The Rock once did, just that he will actually act like the character.
He was definitely one of my favorite wrestlers right off the bat, lots of legendary matches. And he’s turned out to be a great actor as well. Very happy for him!
Soo crazy to see him go from my favorite wrestler when I was in middle school to MCU character and being more noticed in bigger movies! This has to be a great one to be in.
I love that he wants to just experience the ending of the movie just like everyone else. Dave really has endeared himself to me, massively, since his days of intimidating the sh!t outta me in the WWE. 😂
I have a feeling he will face Dwayne Johnson at Wrestlemania Los Angeles bc he insulted his acting recently in an article. Feels like a WWE storyline angle😂 Its Hollywood themed so very fitting.
Batista making us wrestling fans and affiliates proud AF with his success in Hollywood. Love that he is taking serious roles. And he is absolutely killing it in them. Can’t wait to see him in this next M. Night film.
I Am a very proud fan of WWE and this man Dave Bautista was my number one favorite superstars that were in the company I will always remember his extremely awesome wrestling career I am a huge fan of his acting too! I wanna see the new movie "Knock at the Cabin"
I think he handled his last WWE match similar to his last film has Drax. Once he says it’s done it’s done. 4 years since he last wrestled. I think this guy just has a plan for his life and I respect it.
Triple H disrespect Batista. He wont come back. Batista came back and suggest they had a match early at Summerslam. Triple H and Steph laugh. They said Guardians of galaxy not even success in box office yet ( when it 1st release)
I'm seriously so proud of Batista in his career in how far he came in life. Congratulations my man. Many blessings brotha. #db #davebatista #wwehalloffamer #moviestar #actionstar
Dave Bautista, such a genuine and brilliant guy!!... A real gentleman, well-spoken, nice, sincerely humble, funny but always polite. I understand why colleagues love to work with him!!
I like this guy not only because he's fearless on acting but he shows humbleness and caring for people! Great on fan coherent , pleasing to them and loyal!
he used to shop at my vitamin shoppe EVERY Saturday afternoon when he was filming guardian of the Galaxy 2. I believe it was back in 2015. he is so humble in real life
I’ve been having this conversation with my friends and we all agreed Dave Bautista has by far the best acting resume than John Cena or Dwayne Johnson. This man has incredible RANGE in his emotions, voice inflections, and subtle mannerisms to play so many different characters and make them believable! If I was to be an actor, I would choose to go with Bautista, this man APPRECIATES the craft!!!
The Rock feels like he is always kinda winking at the audience. Bautista takes smaller and odder roles just to work with good directors, because he wants to establish himself as a character actor, and not an action star.
Dwayne Johnson isn't a real actor, he chooses to play the same role again and again because he has no range, it's actually in every movie contract that he signs. Dave was awesome as drax and great in several different movies .
DAVE IS THE MOST HUMBLE PERSON IN REAL LIFE. HE USED TO SHOP AT MY VITAMIN SHOPPE WHEN HE WAS FILMING GUARDIAN OF THE GALAXY 2 HERE IN GEORGIA. CAME IN EVERY SATURDAY AFTERNOON TALKING ABOUT BOOKS AND REGULAR LIFE. I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS PRESENCE 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Met him at a meet and greet for WWE. It was a free event and he signed every bit of merch and was very kind and relatable, saw him interact with little kids and you could tell he was tired but was giving his all. It was the week before WrestleMania so he was not the champ yet but about to be. Told him he was gonna whoop triple h's ass and he was like "yeah sure will try, thanks for coming to show your support" Even remembered me from the meet and greet and pointed at me on Raw the following Monday before wrestlemania. I was in the front row and he was on the turnbuckle in front of me. He is humble and just cool af. Well wishes for this dude, for real.
I have to admit I've only known him since the role Drax in The Guardians 👍 but I've been following his film career since then and I'm really looking forward to this next Top film which starts next week in my home town of Vienna 🇦🇹🙏🥰
Its so awesome because Dave seems like a legit human being who is not full of himself, has insecurities, respect and is just normal...Celebrities tend to think they are above who they once were and act like people youll never meet, ever. He seems like a guy you could easily walk up to and talk to and he wouldnt make you feel like hes better then you
You're totally right. And wasn't there also an additional prologue take with him, which they totally left out in the movie? A real bummer. Since the runtime was already long to begin with, they might as well just left that in.
I remember watching the behind the scenes of the first Guardians movie and Dave was emotional because he finally got his first acting break outside of wrestling and now we see Dave as a full time legitimate actor in movies like Knives Out, Blade Runner, and Dune
You know. Everyone talks about the rock being the best wwe movie star but we gotta give Batista his due he’s had just as a good of a run in Hollywood as the rock.
Honestly, Rock does really dumb movies. Not knocking his acting talent, he's actually pretty good but he just does big blockbusters for paycheck. John and Dave haven't done that. They've picked smart and well written movies and that's how they're doing their careers, which just makes them better actors in the long run.
I agree. Dave is a more multi faceted actor than the rock. Heck, make hobbs look goofy and he can be Bob stone from Central intelligence. His acting and characters are redundant and boring imo.
Man Bautista has always been really cool. I'm gonna miss him as Drax, just as I miss him wrestling. I hope if they come up with a better story to bring Drax back, he'll consider it. As long as they don't kill him off. It is a comic movie so he can be resurrected, but as long as it's written well.
He's done the crossover really well. He seems like a cool guy. The lamp in the action figure cracked me up. The Stephen King preventing of the apocalypse by killing a family member is wild.
While Dave is not the biggest wwe turned actor, it is by far The Rock, i do believe he is the best one, he has soo many different roles on different genres instead of just going with the big strong dude type is great to see
This guy seems to have such a calming presence, especially for such a big fellow. Movie looks like it's going to be rather ridiculous though... at least not my cup of tea.
I saw the movie and Dave did a hell of a great job in the role. The character he played was very organic and natural for him. Fit him perfectly. Or he fit the character perfectly. Lol
I remember him debuting in WWE and to see how successful he is now is just awesome. Seems like such a nice & wonderful guy.
He was doing so well in wwe until 2014, wwe kind of screwed up his return due to Daniel popularity and guardian of the galaxy was going to release in August 2014 and batista saying the movie is going to be successful, but someone said it won't be successful and that made Bautista angry so he quit the wwe and he prove wwe wrong when his movie made so much money

@@KVWilson21 He always seems like such a lovely & humble guy.
He used to be known as a notorious arrogant Dbag there all kinds of stories about him being a real jerk
He got Shelly Martinez fired because she refused to sleep with him, while his wife was at home with cancer.
Dave Bautista is just Brilliant! His acting career just keeps on getting better ,and better.
Yes! Well said!!
He’s a fantastic actor
I love his commercials he does where he’s in a boat promoting some streaming service! He almost looks like a well muscled Santa Claus. He needs to do a comedy.
I hope he stay like this, not change.
Read the title
Don’t worry guys. Drax will still be in the MCU. He’ll just be standing incredibly still
His movements will be so slow they'll be imperceptible
We won't even notice that he's there.
……*crunch*
He’s going to DC
Drax dies in g3
Dave Bautista is just so incredible in his transformation of wrestler-turned-actor. And he truly is showing every time how much acting means to him, and how much getting better as an actor is for him. He's extremely nice, kind, wonderful, humble, vulnerable, funny, and such a cool person.
His performance in Knock at the Cabin was incredible. He was the best part of the movie.
Finally someone said it!! He's done great 👍🏿.
Excellent wasn't it. A great performance
Him and Jonathan Groffs performance were amazing. I really hope this opens more doors for Groff, its nice to see him on the big screen apart from his broadway and netflix performances.
Yeah I just finished the movie, I can't wait to see him in other serious roles
True
I like the Rock as much as the next guy but Dave is my favorite wrestler turned actor. I think his acting ability is beyond Dwaynes
Because the rock only plays the rock in EVERY MOVIE
Dave Bautista is a white version of The Rock (FYI this is a compliment not an insult)
I agree with your whole statement. I pretty much enjoy him in everything he's done.
Because he invest himself in the character, as of the Rock he makes the character adapt to him. Batista is actually little by little becoming a great actor. I’m sure that he is on his way to become the best paid actor like The Rock once did, just that he will actually act like the character.
He was definitely one of my favorite wrestlers right off the bat, lots of legendary matches. And he’s turned out to be a great actor as well. Very happy for him!
Dave is such a realistic guy. His wrestling persona and him today, so incredibly different.
Not gon’ lie..the dude scared the shit outta me when he was a wrestler 😂 Then to see him as a regular genuinely good person I’m still in disbelief 😳
@@montenegroafro4454 well he was called an animal
I keep hearing how nice he is on set and this is confirming it. What a humble person!
A true gentle giant. I'm always rooting for Dave and wish him the best of luck on his journey through Hollywood 😎🤙
Such a kind and humble man. Deserves ever bid of success he gets.
Dave is so good in Knock at the Cabin, he made that character his own and played it well!
Nothing goes over his head, His reflexes are to fast. A great cast for Drax. I don't know who I'd cast other than him.
They don't drax will be killed off n the next guardians of the galaxy movie
That my prediction.
Maybe the rock
@DJ Ish As much as I like The Rock. No.
Terry Crews
Any other muscle head will do
Soo crazy to see him go from my favorite wrestler when I was in middle school to MCU character and being more noticed in bigger movies! This has to be a great one to be in.
Dave is Legend
Happy to see Dave finally blowing up these last few years.
I love that he wants to just experience the ending of the movie just like everyone else.
Dave really has endeared himself to me, massively, since his days of intimidating the sh!t outta me in the WWE. 😂
Yeah, he comes across really real
Dave is an awesome human being miss him in today's wrestling.
i hope he goes back at some point maybe as a manager or something. and i hope they put him in the hall of fame like they were going to
I have a feeling he will face Dwayne Johnson at Wrestlemania Los Angeles bc he insulted his acting recently in an article. Feels like a WWE storyline angle😂
Its Hollywood themed so very fitting.
Batista making us wrestling fans and affiliates proud AF with his success in Hollywood. Love that he is taking serious roles. And he is absolutely killing it in them. Can’t wait to see him in this next M. Night film.
Dave is just so cool. I only wish him the best. So genuine and with a real twinkle in his eye.
I Am a very proud fan of WWE and this man Dave Bautista was my number one favorite superstars that were in the company I will always remember his extremely awesome wrestling career I am a huge fan of his acting too! I wanna see the new movie "Knock at the Cabin"
Dave is so freaking funny as Drax I’m really gonna miss him in marvel 😢
Batista was my childhood idol back in his prime days in WWE.. simply a Legend.🔥
I think he handled his last WWE match similar to his last film has Drax. Once he says it’s done it’s done. 4 years since he last wrestled. I think this guy just has a plan for his life and I respect it.
Shawn came back after 8 years of retirement. Never say never
Triple H disrespect Batista. He wont come back. Batista came back and suggest they had a match early at Summerslam. Triple H and Steph laugh. They said Guardians of galaxy not even success in box office yet ( when it 1st release)
@@pigbearangel7805 Are you aware Batista's last match was at WrestlMania 35 (2019), against Triple H, and after what you described happened (2014).
Just watched Knock at the Cabin. I had no idea he could act like that, his performance was incredible.
I'm seriously so proud of Batista in his career in how far he came in life. Congratulations my man. Many blessings brotha.

He’s been awesome as Drax, Guardians 3 is gonna be emotional farewell.
I’m starting to really like Dave , only know I’m realising how humble and genuine he is . And his acting continues to improve 🙌
This man was a big part of my childhood. It's weird, but awesome to see him still doing well. Drax will be missed
Dave Bautista, such a genuine and brilliant guy!!... A real gentleman, well-spoken, nice, sincerely humble, funny but always polite.
I understand why colleagues love to work with him!!
I did not break his leg!
I BROKE BOTH HIS LEGS!
- Drax, 2023. 😭

@@KVWilson21 ... good that you got to meet him in person and say "hi"! Surreal too🥴🤗
Dave should star in a Quentin Tarantino film
Quentin would use him well
@Alekius yeah he knows how to use most of his stars well. Even leornado dicaprio
My favorite wrestler of all time. Miss him in the WWE 🥺🥺
Really happy to see Dave’s success. Since transitioning to this new career he’s really taken it seriously and put in the work! Love that guy.
What a humble and sweet guy.. notice Jimmy mimics his actions.. that is a a sign of a great leader/conveyor… he got Jimmy in tune w him in 2 min

As much as I love the Rock, Dave is a much better actor and his roles are different everytime. With the rock it's the rock everytime.
The Rock feels like he is always kinda winking at the audience. Bautista takes smaller and odder roles just to work with good directors, because he wants to establish himself as a character actor, and not an action star.
Dwayne Johnson isn't a real actor, he chooses to play the same role again and again because he has no range, it's actually in every movie contract that he signs. Dave was awesome as drax and great in several different movies .
@@1craley878 meanwhile u probably used to call him "bootista" and were part of the reason he left wrestling in the first place lol
Strong disagree.
I’ve been saying this for so long!
Just saw knock the other day and it was good…..Dave did a wonderful job as Leonard
DAVE IS THE MOST HUMBLE PERSON IN REAL LIFE. HE USED TO SHOP AT MY VITAMIN SHOPPE WHEN HE WAS FILMING GUARDIAN OF THE GALAXY 2 HERE IN GEORGIA. CAME IN EVERY SATURDAY AFTERNOON TALKING ABOUT BOOKS AND REGULAR LIFE. I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS PRESENCE 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Literally works out in my gym while in tampa. Coolest dude ever
@@aramisnature I'M GLAD WE ALL HAD NOTHING BUT POSITIVE TO SAY ABOUT HIM💙💙💙
That's cool
He is an amazing actor
So happy he's doing so well outside of wrestling. He's been in some big movies.
He's such a good actor, the range of roles he can play, given the "limitations" of his physicality, is wide
Knock at the cabin was Oscar worthy. He was amazing
I grew up watching Dave Bautista on the WWE, he was awesome then. Glad to see him making it to being such a big star
Bautista is a great person and a kindhearted one a true soul I wish u best wishes of your life man ❤
Dave is so cool......wish him nothing but the best!
Batista seems so happy. Living his best life. God bless him 🙏🏻
He looks amazing for being in his mid 50’s.
He will be truly missed extraordinary and unique man. His come a long way, good for him ❤❤❤
Dwayne is a star. Dave is an artist. Huge difference.
Dave is actually both.
@@ISetYourFaceOnFire THIS
He’s so soft spoken and Laid back super chill vibes
I have to admit I've only known him since the role Drax in The Guardians 👍 but I've been following his film career since then and I'm really looking forward to this next Top film which starts next week in my home town of Vienna 🇦🇹🙏🥰
Excited for his rom com!!! The train scene was super intense- modern day jaws
Dave Bautista is brilliant! He has worked hard at becoming “A List actor”
Dave is such a wholesome human being man.
6 time world champ, Hall of famer and MCU great. So happy for his post WWE career and a stylishly cool guy and gentlemen 🔥
The fight on the train with Bond was bonkers!!!!!! Dave did such a great job in that movie, WHAT A GUY!!!
Gutted to see the end of Drax but what a character he’s been?! Good luck Dave. You’ve been brilliant in everything you’ve done.
Only actor who polished his acting throughout limited time period. Amazing guy
All those wrestlers who became big time actors are the nicest human beings. Johnson, Cena, and Bautista.
Its so awesome because Dave seems like a legit human being who is not full of himself, has insecurities, respect and is just normal...Celebrities tend to think they are above who they once were and act like people youll never meet, ever. He seems like a guy you could easily walk up to and talk to and he wouldnt make you feel like hes better then you
Dave started in WWE as Deacon Batista. He fits this role perfectly 😂
Omg he is such a nice guy! Loved how thoughtful and humble he is 😍
we need a movie where bautisa is the main character. this man is too good of an actor to be a supporting role.
Army of the the dead.
ITS LIKE YESTERDAY BACK N 2005 😢WHEN I FIRST LOVED HIM .. TIME GOES SO SO FAST
I can’t believe he’s now 51 years old
I just remember when he wrestling like yesterday
54
Bro I love dave wish nothing but best for him
he is one of my favourites.
crazy I still have his original action figure, this guy is truly a living legend.
Dave KILLED it in Knock at the Cabin. Best WWE/actor ever. Way more range than the Rock
Best Dave B. Performance, Role, and Film; the Transcendental Blade Runner 2049.. 🎨.
His Bladerunner role was so great, his acting and character, since that movie i think that he is a very good actor
You're totally right. And wasn't there also an additional prologue take with him, which they totally left out in the movie? A real bummer. Since the runtime was already long to begin with, they might as well just left that in.
Pro Wrestling, MMA, Drax, Tong Po, Blofeld's Henchman, what a career he has.
dave is the goat for drax
I remember watching the behind the scenes of the first Guardians movie and Dave was emotional because he finally got his first acting break outside of wrestling and now we see Dave as a full time legitimate actor in movies like Knives Out, Blade Runner, and Dune

Dave is such a good actor. His performance in that movie... Damn! He deserves an academy nomination.
The best actor to come out of WWE.
Can't wait to see more of Dave's character Beast Rabam on Dune part II
Man it's so cool to see Batista at this stage in his life. I miss him as a wrestler.. truly happy for this man.
He's done the crossover really well. He seems like a cool guy.
The lamp in the action figure cracked me up. The Stephen King preventing of the apocalypse by killing a family member is wild.
Not stephen king. It's paul tremblay
His role in Knock At The Cabin was stellar !!!!
While Dave is not the biggest wwe turned actor, it is by far The Rock, i do believe he is the best one, he has soo many different roles on different genres instead of just going with the big strong dude type is great to see
So happy for this guy!
2:47 definitely respect that 😭
Dave is a legend freaking love him!
Only wwe fans know how true gem he is.
Nah why only wwe Fans?

Drax’s humor in the films is spot on. He just had the best lines.
I love lamp - Dave Bautista aka Brick Tamlan from anchorman 😂
Dave is such a stylish and good looking man.
I LOVE his style and all his tats. Hes such a gentle giant.

BATISTA GAVE ME SERIOUS FLASHBACKS
Batista was my favourite in wwe in 2005 when I started watching WWE
Dude Dave is so friggin awesome ❤
This guy seems to have such a calming presence, especially for such a big fellow.
Movie looks like it's going to be rather ridiculous though... at least not my cup of tea.
I saw the movie and Dave did a hell of a great job in the role. The character he played was very organic and natural for him. Fit him perfectly. Or he fit the character perfectly. Lol
who here not thinks but "knows", he's actually a much better actor than the rock
Saw KNOCK AT THE CABIN last week. Great film!! Def not what I expected!!! I really enjoyed it!
I just want to see this guy in more guardians movies but i guess its time to move on
HE SUCKED IN GUARDIANS...BORING ARSE CHARACTER...ONLY A FOOKIN IDIOT WOULD WANNA SEE HIM IN THAT MOVIE....FOOK HIM
