Dave Bautista is one of the most successful wrestlers turned into actors. He is a six-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast, Dave Bautista shares if he feels he’s made it to the top of the wrestling world.
“No, I think if I had stayed longer, I might have. There’s a part of me that always thinks right guy right time. But I don’t know what I would have achieved if I had been like a John Cena or Randy Orton, been the 13, 14, 20-time World Champion, I don’t know. But I think what I did in the short period of time that I was actually there, my run between 2005 and 2010 I’m proud of. I can say that I’m proud of it.”
Dave Bautista on going into the WWE Hall of Fame
“I’ve had the conversation with Hunter about going to the Hall of Fame and there was always a part of me that makes me feel like my career is not worthy of going into the Hall of Fame. Well he said this to me, and this makes sense. He said, you accomplished a lot in the short period of time you were there, I think it’s worthy. But if you don’t feel like it’s worthy, look at it this way, what you’ve accomplished outside of the company makes you a Hall of Fame WWE wrestler, and I would tend to agree with that.
“I think I’ve accomplished a lot, and I’ve never turned my back on my roots. I’ve always been very proud of it, been very open about being a WWE superstar, and I think I’m a good ambassador for the company. I think if on those merits if they want to put me on the Hall of Fame, I’d be proud to accept that,” Dave Bautista said.
