Batista talks about earning respect.
Throughout Batista's surge as a star in WWE during the 2000s, he would work with some of the top names in the sport of wrestling, taking part in several iconic rivalries with the likes of Triple H and The Undertaker.
While speaking to Sports Illustrated in a recent interview, Batista spoke about wanting to earn respect in Hollywood in the same way he did in WWE.
“In wrestling, the respect I earned from people like The Undertaker, Triple H, and Eddie Guerrero meant everything to me. It’s the same in Hollywood. I want to feel like I deserve to be here, that I’ve earned my place among the best.”
Elsewhere in another interview, Batista discussed Hollywood being a 'cakewalk' in comparison to WWE. You can read more about that here.
