Batista’s final run in WWE before his retirement was against Triple H which culminated at Wrestlemania 35 a couple of years ago. One of the most popular lines during that feud saw Batista telling Triple H to give him what he wanted over and over again. Batista was also supposed to be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame last year but due to timing issues and scheduling conflicts, it did not end up happening. WWE also paid huge money for the return of Batista.
While Dave Bautista was supposed to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2020, this did not happen due to the worldwide pandemic and due to previous obligations on Batista’s end. However, fans have been clamoring for ‘The Animal’ to get his due and to be inducted as quickly as possible.
In a recent clip uploaded to the WSI – Wrestling Shoot Interviews YouTube Channel, Val Venis discussed Batista and Booker T’s brawl.
“I never really saw any of the fights backstage, I don’t know where I was in the arena when they took place. But I do remember hearing [about] the fight between Booker T and Dave Batista. I remember – to me, when people talk about backstage fights, for me personally, that’s the most memorable one. Now, by the time I got around to that place, it was already broken apart, it was all done.
From what I recall that was – Booker T just tee’d off on Batista.
It was Batista, I guess, who called Booker T out for the fight and it didn’t end well for him. From what I heard. Like I said, I didn’t see it, I’m just taking this as second hand information. By the time I got around to where the fight was, it was already over.”
