Batista has been part of major movie premieres and has starred in feature films, but nothing is like the experience of WrestleMania for "The Animal."
Batista has taken part in seven WrestleMania events during his career, has won the World Title on the Grandest Stage of Them All, and competed in his final match at a WrestleMania. And nothing gets him fired up like performing in front of thousands of people inside the ring.
"Nothing is like the pressure of WrestleMania," he said while appearing at Justice Con. "I've never experienced anything like it, but I've also never experienced anything like the adrenaline rush of WrestleMania. The pressure is tremendous, but the reward is tremendous. There's nothing like it. You can understand why it's such a hard thing to step away from. It's addictive. I can't imagine ever getting that feeling from anything else other than that live performance in front of that many people. I've been to a lot of sporting events, I've never experienced anything like WrestleMania."
Batista wrestled his last match at WrestleMania 35, losing to Triple H in a No Holds Barred bout.
Elsewhere during the interview, Batista reiterated that he is retired from wrestling. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
