Took this from Reddit...

Link for the episode is: https://secure-hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/6...67175990&hwt=a75331c85344cb721d406795bf498b4e

Here are a few highlights:

  • His return wasn't good from the very beginning. They wanted him to come back as a babyface where he wanted to return as a heel.

  • Wishes he could've been in better shape for wrestling. He had an achilles tendon injury. He also stayed away from weights and vigorous workouts because he was trying to conform to being an actor so he was trying to get away from that muscle-bound look.

  • He argued with Vince and creative everyday he was there.

  • He felt super unsatisfied with his return. Says it broke his heart because he had been thinking about his return for years. When he left, he wanted to come back and do SummerSlam, around the time Guardians was coming out. He talked to Steph and Hunter about doing SummerSlam because Guardians would be the #1 film at the box office. They kinda had a snickered and went "Yea, we don't even know if the movie is gonna be any good." :martin:

  • He says they told Daniel Bryan not to sell all of his injuries at Mania and kinda buried the shyt out of them. Pissed him off and hated that Shield split up literally the night after making them look like a million dollars. Says that they should've had Shield continue their run with The Wyatts until everyone was sick of seeing them.

  • It also pissed him off that after trying to make SHIELD look like a million bucks, the only thing everyone was saying was "Batista wore blue, whatta a$$hole."

  • Says he and Dolph had kick ass matches that the fans missed out on because they were too busy chanting "CM PUNK! BLUETISTA! BOOTISTA!" Says it really hurt his feelings.

  • Says it was trendy booing him. Felt like a personal attack. He didn't ask for a lot of money and never said he won't do house shows and not put people over. He was really confused by how the crowd was acting.

  • He says he struggled early in his career so hard with promos because people wrote stuff for him instead of bullet points. He was always a shy person and public speaking was terrifying to him. He would go up to Vince or Hayes and asked what point they wanted to get across and then winged it and thats when he got good.

  • He noticed that when WWE films started, John Cena was receiving movie roles and not him. He asked if there was any opportunity for him to act in WWE films and they showed no interest. He then decided to go outside the company and audition and the answer was "You are our property. Get dressed and get to work." He just felt it was unfair to him career-wise and financially and he wasn't content with that and gave them a year's notice.

  • On his last day with WWE, when he left the first time, it put everything in perceptive. Few people said goodbye and thank you to him. Then security escorted him out of the door. No keep in touch or see you later. He left there with a broken back on his last match with Cena.

Vince, Steph and Hunter are bitter out of touch a$$holes... what's new? :francis:

I do feel bad for Batista, seems like one of the nicest, down to Earth guys in wrestling and yet gets shytted on by so many people. He got mentioned other week on Raw and crowd immediately start chanting "Bootista". Yet they cheer midget clowns like Zayn? :francis:


Batista seems too nice and friendly, and let's be honest that is the wrong personality for wrestling. If the crowd booing or chanting someone's name gets under your skin and hurts your feelings, you really shouldn't be in WWE :what:

Wasn't Stephanie rimming Rousey for ages, all of a sudden she loses and she's talking smack on UFC and criticizing it's stars? :pacspit:

Then she starts bumming Serena Williams, then she loses at a few slams and all of a sudden she's never mentioned again :snoop:


I like Triple H the wrestler, but after so many stories have come out; I don't physically understand how people can like Vince/Steph/Hunter in real life :what:

Not surprised to hear that they thought GOTG wasn't going to be a hit and I can see where they are coming from in term comic book superheros they're not as mainstream as other comic book heros to a lot of people.

But with Marvel and Disney teaming up they should have knew better tho. But Vince thought he was stupid for leaving anyway and thought he would fail and come crawling back so I'm not surprised to hear they would have that type of reaction toward him.

They was like:pachaha::heh:GOTG :camby:

on one hand they prolly had the appropriate reaction because i had doubts of GOTG of being a good movie before it came out, but then on the other hand Triple is known for Blade 3 and a bunch of shytty WWE Films :mjlol:..he's never been in a good film lol

Dave smoked with Rza? Might have been a little dust in that :lupe: *bong bong*. GOTG, Bond and Blade Runner is a hell of run. Hollywood Dave :whew:

it's hilarious how trips and cena wanted to follow the rock's success, but failed horribly

Trips' movie ceiling was a bit part in Blade Trinity. Probably ran up on the producers after the last day of shooting like:

Trips: "So - I'm ready for my spin-off. Just send the script to my trailer before I leave today and I'll give you my notes...

"

Producers: "Your character is dead. And you're fired."

Trips:
full


. Cena - I can see being a TV host - at absolute best a solid cameo, but nowhere near a Rock level movie star.

Vince's perspective on pop culture was perfectly summed up in the Freddie Prinze Jr. interview that dropped a couple of weeks ago.

"I used to call him Robo-Vince and he goes, 'what does that mean?' because he [has] never seen anything but wrestling. I'm like, 'you've never seen RoboCop? Of course not! You didn't see Scarface or you would have known Razor Ramon is plagiarism!'" Prinze recalled, "I was watching a Richard Pryor set on the sweet WWE jet one time just to kind of unwind and relax. And we're flying back to White Plains [New York] and he literally is like, 'why don't you have on WrestleMania?' I'm like, 'Vince, I just want to laugh' [and McMahon replied] 'well, we have Santino'. I'm like, 'great, I love Santino [but] that's not Richard Pryor!'"

I wouldn't say that, H did some crappy WWE movies here and there but he was never really about that life, and Cenas had some pretty successful cameos in big time movies, which could open up doors for him if he does decide to do Hollywood full time

Gotg wasn't looking like a success before it came out and crushed building :manny:

If you know even a little about Marvel movies/movies in general you knew that shyt wasn't gonna flop in anyway shape or form months prior to release :manny: Hordes of people will go watch any superhero movie that comes out nowadays, and Marvel has yet to make a movie that's been critically panned, that wasn't gonna change with Guardians
