The reason why Dave "The Animal" Batista is my favorite WWE wrestler is not only due to his atheletic ability and agility, and presence in the ring, but also the way he carries himself out of the ring as well,...he reminds me alot of Sting who has been my favorite NWA/WCW, and now TNA wrestler.

The reason Batista reminds me of Sting is because Batista has the same kind of in-ring presence, agility, ability, mic skills, and he's just as entertaining as Sting,...not only that but the way Sting carries himself out of the ring is the same way Batista carries himself out of the ring, and like Sting, Batista is a real people person who cares about his fans, and loves to interact with them.

I love it when Batista lets the "Animal" out in the ring cause that's when things get very exciting, entertaining, and puts me on the edge of my seat,...just like Sting did/does when he's wrestling,...they both have the same wrestling style, and that's what drew me to Batista.

I never thought that I'd see another wrestler who reminds me of Sting, but Batista does in every way.

I'm sure some of you will probably disagree with me, but that's ok cause this is just my opinion. Batista is a GREAT wrestler just like Sting is, and Batista deserves everything that he's earned in the WWE! :0)

So many people want to see Sting go to the WWE, but I'm not one of them cause then Sting would have to wrestle Batista and I would have to pick sides, and well to be quite honest,...I honestly don't feel that I could chose cause that's how much I love Batista and Sting! ;)

Well, that's about it for me,...now you guys know why I chose Batista as my favorite WWE wrestler, and how much he means to me!

Good Luck Dave "The Animal" Batista in all your endevers in the WWE, and Congrats on your Punjari Prison victory over the Great Khali, and for winning back the World Heavy Weight Championship Title!

O.k guys ,I guess it is time for me to add my essay on the reson why I like Batista , I guess you can say my reasons are pretty simple . For one Dave Batista ,is more to me than just an entertainer he is someone I can relate to as an person and an athelete in a very real way and that is to me rare in the entertaiment industry .I like him because he is real he is not afraid to speak out and speak his mind and he is not afraid to go go the distance or to do what it takes to get there . He tells it like it is and his doesn't mind kicking some a-- while doing it... But most importantly he represents so many different people who has or is struggling day by day to be our own champions in everyday life and for the sake of acheiving our own dreams ,and all the stuggles and obstacles heart breaks and sometimes even broken spirts that come with that . That he has and we as people have to over come to get there . In alot of ways he inspires me to realize that even the people in the worst of circumstances in life can acheive there highest of dreams . And last but not least because of the drive ,determination ,passion and all the sacrifice and hard work he gives match after match for the happiness of his fans .I wish more entainers out there were more like him . I truely wish him the very best of wishes in everything in his life because of the journey he has taken in his life and all the sacrifices he has made to get to the top in his career he truely is champions of champions to me with or without the belt and he truely deserves it .

I pick Dave Batista as a great and spectacular wrestler for many reasons. Not only does Dave possess a strong presence within the ring but he also contributes more great personal qualities outside of the ring. Dave is a great spokeperson for many great causes out there but Dave Batista is a strong spirited man. My heart goes to any man who will proudly stand by his wife during her struggles with Ovarian cancer, not once but twice. Together Dave and his beautiful wife Angela had two wonderful, delightful young girls and parenthood most definitely agrees with him.

I personally think the WWE doensn't know what to do with Dave. Most times it seems from my perspective that they keep holding the animal back. I would love to see Dave at his full potential. I would hate to see him go to the waste side like so many great stars before him that werer just too big or too great to handle. Ex: Bill Goldberg.

I am a big Batista fan here in Atlantic Canada and WWE is watched here a lot seeing the Atlantic Martimes has been into promoting wrestling and wrestlers for many years. Dave I wish you much success in the future both professionally and personally. Gob Bless men like Dave Batista, men that aren't afraid to show there true side.

This is why I pick WWE Superstar Dave ( The Animal ) Batista. He's a great wrestler and a all around wonderful man who's there for his friends and family. My hats off to men like him I only wished there were more men like Batista.

Many people say: "the another name of life is water". It's true to some extent, but to an ordinary girl like me, the word "life" can't be described without the name "Dave Batista". Some people say I'm crazy,but I'll say "no", because just like my studies, Batista is my passion. I learnt about him on net. I came to know his life from various sources. I know Dave as : a passionate wrestler, a deadly animal, a caring husband, a loving father and a soft-spoken Filipino deep down inside.

The eye of this man, encourages many people to dream; dream about his/her aim, his/her achievement. This is because his struggle shows that everything is possible in life. He has been on street from 17, bouncing in clubs, but his present position at the top of the world shows what a person can do if he/she is determined.

Therefore, in the end, as a tribute to this man, I would like to say: "Dave is an encouragement to those who has lost their motives to lead the life, to those who consider themselves to be useless and to people like me who once believed that everything is impossible. His words, work hard and then sky is the limit, in a certain interview really changed my life".

Heros are hard to find in this world today. My two daughters and I watch Smackdown, because Batista is such a great guy. He has passion,he is a great role model for young people. I am glad he is such a great role model for my children. He is humble, passionate,and has worked his way up threw this industry of sports entertainment. He cares so much for the fans, since my children are into Wwe.......they are good kids and stay out of trouble. Keep up the good work Batista Thanks for being a good role model.

To me Dave Bautista is the strongest wrestler that the WWE has. His character and personality makes him what he is. "The Animal".For someone who started in the WWE late in life makes him work harder then anyone else has in my perspective. Tho he has gone through some hard times in life and in the ring due too injuries he still came out back on top.We all know it was hard for him too give up his title when he had too go for surgery.Which i know all of us where in tears.He came back stronger then ever.

Yes Dave is a very handsome gentleman. Polite. He is one of the BEST wrestlers out there.Always and forever The Animal Will over come all in his way. So Watch out for him!! I Love Dave "The Animal" Bautista always and forever!! Get That belt back where it belongs around YOUR waist!!!

Batista is a one of a kind he has been through a lot in his life but one thing he never gave up. When people said he hasn't got what it takes to become a wrestler he went out and proved them wrong. He worked as hard as he could, done what he had to do, and he believed in his self and with help from triple h and ric flair he became what he is today, the greatest smackdown wrestler. He was and still is to me the world best heavyweight champion. He is someone to look up to and admire to me cause he shows people as long as u believe in yourself and u know u can do it then there's nothing to it. He is a very respectfull person he goes out shakes the fans hand even though he might get home sick he goes out and fights for the fans and for himself and family to me him and every wreslter needs to be admired for doing what they do for us. I guess what Batista really means to me is a honest respectfull man and a true Smackdown champion who will beat the Undertaker in the cage match and get what rightfully belongs to him which i believe he can do.

What does Batista mean to me? Some of my friends think that I only Like Dave Batista because he has a nice body, and a preatty face. And also because he's hot. He is all of these things but, he's more to me than just these things.

He's determined to go forward in his life. To make it, and to achieve his goal. No matter what things are thrown at him, he just won't lay around until he getes to that goal that people are trying to stop him from reaching.

He has inspired me to go forward and do better in school. And I have done better. I have improved in my grades and have gotten myself into the HONOR ROLL. For the 3rd time this year. Thank You Dave Batista For joining the WWE. Keep on inspring people. From Kids to adults.

To me David Michael Bautista is God’s great gift to the human race. He has so many wonderful qualities. He is a very handsome man and he has a body that looks like it was carved by angels. He has the most amazing smile and his deep brown eyes melt my heart. Aside from his gorgeous physical features, I see his inner beauty. He is such a sweet man, has a great sense of humor, and has a sexy voice that makes me go weak in the knees. I look up to Dave for all that he has overcome. He is my inspiration. Dave never gives up on anything and he is the toughest man I have ever seen both inside and out. I admire that passion and dedication he has for wrestling and for himself and his family. To me he is the greatest champion. He has respect for that belt. Some wrestlers I have seen just throw that belt around like if it was a toy. But not Dave he knows that that title is everything he has worked his butt off to accomplish. I cherish the moments when he kisses the title belt beca use it shows me his heartfelt dedication to his career and his fans. I also want to acknowledge the fact that he is truly a real man. When Eddie died and when he had to relinquish his title he showed that real men do cry when times get rough. As I cried along with him I knew then and there that he is the only one that can truly call himself a man. I love and cherish Dave with all my heart. Never want him to change because he is a sweet soft-spoken man with a big heart. With that I want to say Thank You Dave so much for everything you do to entertain us fans. Thank you for all the sacrifices you make having to be away from your family, enduring career threatening injuries, the long hard task of traveling so much and all the other sacrifices made so we can see you week in and week out. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart and I love you so much. Love ya and take care Champ.

I am Amber Berglund and I want to tell you what Batista means to me.

I always know when Batista is on t.v. i have alot of dreams about him. In one of the dreams he was my big brother and he protected me when I was in trouble. In real life I do wish some how he could be my big brother, I look up to him all the time. If Batista asked me "what is the one thing i could do for you?" the answer would be "Batista you can become part of my family, I look up to you and admire everything about you." Batista is my hero. My nephew, Austin and I both talk about and put Batista in our lives everyday. Austin and I both are obsessed with wrestling. We both want to tell Batista that he will always be part of our lives and we will never forget him and he can always depnd on family and fans. We love you.

The very first time that I seen Dave Batista I was in utter shock.He was so tall and muscular and I told myself there was not no way that there would be anyone to defeat him at all.The very first time that I actually got to see him in person was November 4th,2006 I had spent over $200 to see Dave and when He had came out down to the ring I must of taken 17 pictures of anything that he had done.I finally had gotten his attention,he had looked at me then said something to the referee and the ring announcer but then after that he read my sign which had put me in total AW!!!!

After the match and during the match my voice had been heard but when Dave was outside the ring and right by I was more than excited I had about passed out right next to him.Everytime that I see him on tv or watch one of many dvds with Dave in it I just melt.For Dave to accomplish so many things in such time is totally remarkable .I send him love!!!By the way 2 things were on my sign and read both I am the only princess in town and on the other side of the sign it read for my birthday I want a hug from Dave.I never got that hug darn it!

LOTS of LOVE PJ

What does Dave Batista means to me? I've been watching wrestling since I was a young girl and there has never been anyone like batista. I was privilege to have seen Batista in person with my 11 year old son and I never had seen anyone as handsome and has true as Batista. I have seen him wrestle in TV and I saw him in a dark show and he is truly a wrestler at heart. Dave may god bless you always and always stay true to yourself, always believe in who you are and who you can be. I'm sure that you are an inspiration to a lot of young boys who look up to you and for that you should be happy and proud. My heart broke when you got injure and you were out for a long time, but it rejoice when you came back, cause smackdown wasn't the same. You bring The Animal in you out when you wrestle, you really know how to entertain and really have won everyones heart. Batista is and will always be one of my favorite wrestler ever in the WWE. God Bless You always.

The reason why I look up to Batista he takes a lickn' and keeps on tiickn'. There is more to Batista then nice ABS and ARMS, but abs and arms is what they see when they see Batista. They say man that man is hot, don't get me wrong Batista is very hot . He has a great personality and he is the champ now. I'm sure he likes all the girls drooling over his body. See what I say is, it doesn't matter what's on the outside, it is in the inside that counts. So you could be dating the ugliest person in the world, but you don't care because it's the inside that matters. So that's why I look up to Batista because he is very tough and I like that in a man. It didn't take Batista very long recover from his surgery. Having surgery it is hard and painful.

THINGS I LIKE ABOUT BATISTA
1) STRENGTH
2) COURAGE
3) AMBTION
4) PRESONALITY and,
5) YOUR BODY IT IS NICE
Sincerely,
Heather

I'm sure these essays have had everything mentioned, from strength to looks, and talent and back. But I think my attachment to Batista has to do with something more specific. Determination. Here is a man that never gives up, never backs down. WCW told him that he wasn't "cut out" for the business. But that didn't stop him. Neither did asthma, or debilitating injury. No matter what life has thrown at the Animal, he's always come back, and always became better each time. So thats why I admire, and look up to Dave Batista.

Submitted by Deanna [Canada] 09.10.06

Dave Batista ... Those are two words that mean alot to me. That name means so much to me because the very first time that i really found out who batista was and i found out about his life as a child I just thought wow what an amazing guy. He went through so much and when i read it i knew that he was my new role model, he completly turned his life around. He went from having bad grades,to stealing and then from being a bouncer at night clubs in DC and now he's one of the WWE's most loved and respected superstar. He's simply amazing, there isnt really another word that will describe him.

He lost his title in Jan. because of an injury and now that he's back i know that he is determined to win back that title no matter what it takes, he just won't give up. Thats another thing I like about him he doesn't know how to quit and thats just like me, i just dont know how. When i see him walk out onto that ramp with the title around his waist he seems complete along with the giant smile on his adorable face. It just makes my day. But to see him without the title it hurts because the holder of it right now ( "King" Booker) truley in my eyes doesnt deserve it. Batista has put his body on the line and his heart and sole into this buisness and booker he won a king of the ring match and then gets a title chance and gets it. Batista is the true champion even if he's not wearing the belt around his waist.

There are more reasons as to why i like batista and the second one is that he is so handsome. I have never seen a guy be so fit, so respectful and look that good before. When hes on the TV i just cant turn it off and when i see him get hurt it's almost as if i can feel the pain too. Batista has inspired me in many ways especially in the way of life and how to live it. Basically you get what you get.

I love batista so much that i even started my very own batista site which i am very proud of. Batista you are the number 1 WWE superstar in my book and hopefully one day you will be in the hall of fame because you deserve it.

What Batista means to me? I don't know where to start. Well one thing's for sure Batista is a hero to me and a man of integrity. He simply cares for others and always do what he can to please his fans. His a man of bravery and courage. To me he stands out amongst all of the WWE wrestlers.Why? Because i know that he wrestles with all his heart. Besides being a role model and changing my point of view towards changing my dreams into reality. His not afraid to show his true emotions and express them as well and whether champ or not to me he'll always be a true fighting champ in my eyes. His truly a man of wisdom and inspiration!!!

Why i am a Batista fan! A becuase he is Sexy, B becuase he dosen't take no for an answer. Hi Dave, when I first saw you I knew that you would be a champion. You have pride in what you do,I know many people would love to meet you because of that. You are not afraid to cry in front of people. The late great Eddie Guerrero's Death god bless you Eddie, anyway I find that it is very bold when you cry. You don't make people hate you but LOVE you. Dave , you are not like KurtAngle and take the World Heavyweight Championship Belt for grantage and you are definately not like Mark Henry some reasons are You are not fat, You can run, you can make girls fall in love with you and most of all you love your fans. I hope that you get that belt back and get BETTER!

With love to you and the family, your biggest fan Bethan xx

There are a lot of things that come into my mind with a mere mention of the name "Dave Batista". At first glance, he is so suave, so full of charisma, and...drop dead gorgeous. No doubt he is one of the most sought after wrestlers in the industry.

Why am i a fan of Batista? I cannot simply express all the reasons why i am a follower of David Michael. Whenever he comes out of the ring, i'm dumbfounded. When he does his great entrance, i'm speechless. As if i am caught in a trance or something. His performances in the ring are superb and exudes athleticism and professionalism. He doesn't cheat just to win. He accepts defeat graciously. He does not brag, he does not step on someone's shoes just to get on top. Batista is simply amazing!

Whenever i get the chance to surf the net, i never fail to check on batista's profile, pictures, and biography on the web. And i was surprised to find out that he's half greek and half filipino. At least we have one thing in common.

Dave is also...macho (i can't find the english equivalent of that). He is not afraid to cry and to express his love for his fellow wrestlers. This was apparent during Eddie's death. And because of that, he gained my respect for him. He is truly one amazing individual.

Oh what for shame comeths the dreary walks of livid weakness but comes forth from breaking sunder, a beast...god...A creature of symetry and perfection of the humand domicile with the ranking cerebral concotions of a genius under a suave surafce of kind and gentle expressions.

Bautista, as his real name is, has been the powerhouse that is proof that the human body can exceed it's limits...And that merely looking large doesn't mean he couldn't think deep....

Life is succumbed to these stereo-typed thoughts but David has already been the hybrid of a new breed of athletes...One with minds and bodies of perfection...Though we must remember...No one is perfect...Even Dave has had his share of errors...But nonehteless, hadn't let a moment of their hauntings skew him from his driven determination for power...He is the powerhouse of the world, the Thor without a hammer, the Titan without a keep, The man who will turn legend as the man of Godly strength....A man who will be herald in the Heaven and hopefully become God's first pick on a new enforcing angel upon a world of sin.

Salute, David...May God's blessings follow you as it had with your wife and life...May your afterlife be much more fruitful...Tenfold.

Batista is the best. He is handsom, brave, tough, perfect, and every good thing you can think of. He made me belive in my self he taught me never to give up. His wife and children are very lucky to have him. When ever i see him smile in photo's or t.v. i brighten up. His angry eyes scares me. I would hate to be up there in the same ring as him. Batista is the greatest. I hope i get to see him some day. I would might just freeze right there. I hope he comes back soon cause he was the main part of the smackdown. Smackdown is nothin with out him, and everything with him.

I'm a big fan of Dave Batista. He's enormous. I think anyone who loves Batista knows what I'm saying. I started to admire him from when I started watchin wrestling-when he was in the Revolution. But even more when he cried Eddie. I admired him a lot, especialy at that time, because he showed his feelings on the ring. Batista is a great person, he knows how to play a match, he's not afraid from anyone, he's disrespectful which makes his enemies be afraid of him, and has a great physique that makes him strong and sexy. He challanges everyone-no matter what, no matter who he is.Batista, as one could see on TVs is always open for a challange. And that tattoo around his tummy is gorgeous. He's the sexiest man alive. You'll love him at first sight-that's what had happened to me.You can't turn off the TV when he's on the ring. He's a huge sexy man. Everywhere I go, I'll talk about him. My friends tell me that I'm going crazy about him. I love Batista and no matter what, I'll always be his fan. That's what makes me a big fan of Batista. A person you like, you can never forget him.

There are so many possibillities to why Batista is the greatest. He has a good heart. He always stands up for the underdog. As soon as I saw him with Evolution I knew he was on his way. He didn't have to be a champion to be great. but with the help of Evolution he is the former and future World Heavyweight Champion! He made friends with everyone. Batista made friends with people who were not the stongest. Ray Mysterio, Eddie Guerreo. I may not have alot to say, but I dont have to. One word can say what Batista is, awsome. Thats why I'm a fan of David Batista.

I bet you all are wondering why I'm a Batista fan. I know most of his fans (especially female fans, including myself) would say that they are fans of his because he's HOT, SEXY, HUGE, POWERFUL, HANDSOME, GORGEOUS, CHARISMATIC, and because he's just so GREAT. Even though these qualities pertain to Batista, he is so much more than that.

I've liked Big Dave since he first began in Evolution, which is when I started watching wrestling. I remember looking at my TV screen, and asking my boyfriend, "Gee, who is HE!? Hmm, maybe I need to watch this more, hehe." Once I found out who he was, I was hooked. At first, it was the looks, and his ring presence. Then, once they began to show more of Dave this past year, I've grown to love him more. He made me feel empathy when he cried when the beloved Eddie died, he made me happy when he won the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania, and he made me feel angry and upset when he relinquished the title this past week. He makes me feel, I guess since I've got to know him more intimately. I like him because he is down-to-earth, he doesn't seem to exaggerate or sugar-coat anything.

I don't like him JUST for his extremely good looks, but since I've got to know him on-screen, I realize that he is just a human being like everyone else, and that is why I LOVE Dave Batista, and will always be a fan no matter what.

I am a Batista fan because he is the most dynamic, loving, caring wrestler I have ever seen preform, he is adorable yet doesn't come off as cocky or stuck on himself, I got away from wrestling for several years and a friend invited me over to her place to watch it and it was love at first sight , he was such a sweet inspiration to me and the fans there just adored him. When he won championship away from HHH I screamed so loud I scared my poor cat out of one of his lives. I am disabled and it sure brightness my life to be able to watch him preform , I will miss him teribly while he is out for his injury but I am waiting on pins and needles for his return, I hope that Mark Henry gets what he deserves. I only wish it were possible to meet him in person, I would be so thrilled.

To many people Batista is a big guy who when he gets in the ring he just likes to beat on the person untill they can't move, not to me. To me Dave is like any other person except bigger and stronger. He feels pain, emotion and every thing we do. Recently wwe has forced Batista to surrender his WHW championship due to his torn triceps. As he gave up the biggest accomplishment any wwe superstar would dream of he kept as strong as he could, he shed some tears but I'm sure we all would if we lost something that special that only comes around once and a while.While he was in the back saying good by to everyone you could tell he was really gonna miss fighting for at least 3 and 1/2 months. Sure Batista isn't the WHW champ anymore but he's always gonna be my champ seeing as he's my fav wrestler and somewhat my role model. He teaches us to live life day by day and we get what we get. A lot of may not know it but he's one of the best role modles there can be. He hates bullies, he's respectful to everyone until he finds out who they really are and much much more. I know its Batista's birthday in about a week, Jan.18th so I want to say happy birthday and I wish that you will recover soon and get back in the ring stronger then ever and get your title back... for some reason its almost as if it was built to go around your waist and thats what it has done for the past 10 months. Remember Dave you're the true champ and you never lost the title! Remember that you had to give it up because you took an injury for the buisness. Get well soon. That was my essay about Batista!

Why I like David Bautista.

One reason why I like Batista is because of his physical appearance. I plan on becoming a wrestler if WWE is still running in the future. He is my role model. His strategy is invigorating. The Animal fights with strength and adrenaline but when he's Unleashed there is no telling what he will do.

Another reason why Batista is my role model is because not just for me, he is a person that everyone can look up to in a positive way. He is successful in so many ways. He teaches that you can achieve your goals in life and you can do whatever you want to do no matter what. Also, he teaches anything is possible if you really put forth effort and time. He never over-reacts toward anything. He takes life as it keeps on surprising him. For example, teaming up with Rey Mysterio was the best thing, in my opinion, Dave has done. The two together are a Domination over anyone, with Rey Jr's speed and enthusiasm, and Batista's strength and motivation I personally feel sorry for anyone who crosses their path.

Another example is the charges being pressed against him out of embarrassment. Melina really forced it on him. I don't believe she tried to stop him. No innocent flirtation involves massive tongue sucking kisses while sitting on top of him. She should be charged for bribery. She is embarrassed because she got played in her own little game and that's exactly what she GETS. I think Batista will continue to be successful in life and still continue to be my role model and I respect him greatly.

Sir,

I am a very very great fan of batista.When I saw him for the 1st time, I thought how huge muscles he have. He looked perfect in anyway. But that time he was not popula. At the same time on the other side, brock lesnar was becoming popular day by day. I dreamed that 1 day, batista must climb to the top of all. Now it happened, i was very happy, when he became the world champion. Unlucky for me, I didn't saw the match. So,he must continue in his journey very strong and he must defeat all the best wrestlers. He must become many time world champion more than HHH. Always he must be in good health.

Ok,thats all from me,this is a very short essay.

Hi everyone, just want you to know that I am also a Batista fan just as a lot of people like you are. Isn’t it good to know there are millions or even billions of people admiring Batista? It really makes me happy to know that there are a lot of people who likes Batista. Of course! Who wouldn’t like Batista? Batista is a really great person to look up to. You see I haven’t really known Batista until he came to Smackdown. So I didn't really know him since then. But I was actually watching wrestling when I was 6 years old and it wasn’t WWE yet it was still WWF. I don’t think Batista was there. But I did know him when he was in the Evolution. When he came to Smackdown suddenly my interests upon him grew larger and larger. So almost everyday I’d search about his biography and all those other stuff on the internet just to know more about him. So yeah….he had a lot of names before like Kahn, Leviathan, Demon of the Deep, Deacon Batista, and Batista. I didn't know and p robably wouldn’t know about those things if I didn't get a chance to research about him. But I do know his finishing moves are the spine buster and the Batista bomb. Anyways as I was reading through the other essays, I found something. It says that Batista was a Filipino and that some of the Filipinos were like making fun of him and stuff like that. I didn't like that. I’m also very sorry about that. I’m also a Filipino, and I don’t care if the other people who make fun of him are Filipinos. They don’t have the right to do so. Batista is a very honorable man and doesn’t deserve those kinds of people making fun of him. Besides I bet those people who make fun of him are just jealous of him because Batista is really famous. They don’t have anything to do that’s why they try to make fun of him or something. I was actually surprise to know that Batista is actually half Filipino. He doesn’t look and acts like one…. He acts better than one. Batista is a really good person and I hop e I will get to see him someday. I’m only 12 years old and t! he only thing I want to be when I grow up was to become a lawyer, but when I started to know more about Batista my whole plan in life change. Now, I want to work for Smackdown and if possible work for Batista. He really changed my life and how I look up at things. He also showed me how important friendships are because of Eddie Guerrero. It’s hard for all of us to forget about Eddie. Just think of how Batista feels. Batista had so many injuries to overcome. Just like what Kane and Big Show did to him when they slammed him onto the windshield and onto the announcer’s table. Did Batista give up? No he did not. He was supposed to have taken the surgery, but if he did take the surgery he won’t be able to wrestle for 3 months. But did he choose to get the surgery? No he didn't. He didn't want to stop wrestling even if he torn his latissimus dorsi because he cares for his fans and for the people. No one can be a better World Heavyweight Champ than Batista. Not even Randy Orton. He did start in Evolution with Ric Flair, Triple H, and Randy Orton, but he himself was the one who walked away and beat Triple H for the World Heavyweight Title. Now he is dominating Smackdown. I just hope that all of you appreciate what Batista has done for us. He has done so many great things to us. I hope you recognize it and have time to thank him for everything. Batista if you are reading this I just want to tell you how happy I am that you came to Smackdown. Now I can watch you every week. You have changed my life and its gone better. You are a really great idol. I hope you’ll stay as the World Heavyweight Champ for many many many more years to come and that someday I’ll get to see or even work with youJ I Just want to thank you for everything that you have done for us people and your fans. I thank you for your sacrifices and all the things you needed to overcome just for us to see you wrestle. Just want to say that you are No. 1 in my heart and you’re the best wrestler there is. You will always be the champ for meJ I hope this letter or essay will help you cheer up and just be happy for this slight moment. And I just want to say I love you from the very bottom of my heart…..You will always be the Champ and No.1….Don’t ever forget that…. By the way I just want to tell you something about me. I’m 12 years old born in Philippines.

Batista what more can I say the animal. Powerfull aggresive muscular what more would you want to be in life aswell as world heavyweight champion. I've met Dave at an autograph sighning and he's so kind and nice and so BIG. Seeing him face to face wow he is massive his biceps must be as big as my whole body. Trust me I want to be a wrestler when I'm older just like him I'm 13 years old and I'm already doing loads of weights just to look like Dave. I'm hoping I will see him on the 21st of April when I go to watch Smackdown at Newcastle Metro Radio arena. Well thats my essay if you have a website on where I can email Dave himself please give it to me.

My mum kept asking me why I like to watch wrestling so much so I told her that the reason I watch wrestling is all because of Batista, The Champ of My Heart. I have been avid fan of wrestling since I’m 8yrs old and when I saw Batista for the first time, I like him since then. I have all his collectibles and even made 3 scrapbooks of Batista.

When Batista won the Royal Rumble 2005, I knew that he will win the World Heavyweight Champion. I was happy and overjoyed when he chose to stay in Raw to fight Triple H for the World Heavyweight Champion. Finally, he won the title at Wrestlemania and became the Man like what he promised his fan. He really showed to the people out there that he is the next best thing and nobody can stop him or take his title away.

He overcomes a lot of obstacles in his career and even in his personal life. Still remember how he go all out to fight the World Tag Team Champion (Kane & Big Show) when they attacked him in Smackdown until he sustained injuries but he still never backed down from any beating that he get. How I really admire his guts, perseverance and bravery in beating his opponent down no matter how much injury he have.

If Batista read this essay, I just want to say to him that he is the reason why my life is getting better each day as he is like a motivator in life and how I looked up to him. He has my fullest respect and he is always be my idol for life. Just love the way he smile and he have an adorable face and how lucky his daughters are to have him as their dad and also how lucky Angie is to have him as her husband.

There are no more words that I can say or describe how I like Batista so much. He is always be the Champ of My Heart… Will always give him my fullest support in everything that he does in the future. Thanks for being my inspiration and motivator in life….

.:Why I am a Batista Fan:.

I am a huge Batista fan. I think he is the hottest wrestler... no...person EVER! Not only does he have good looks, he is spectacular in the ring! I can't help but admire Batista. By watching him wrestle and seeing all of the injuries he has overcome, I just don't know how he can be that strong. Not only is he physically strong, but he is also mentally strong. The way that he took his difficult (I think that would be an appropriate word for it) past and made his future into something that one only dreams of, is amazing to me. I can not even imagine the pain that he felt in his past, and even now in the present (losing a close friend of his and his wife's sickness). I think that to be able to overcome everything that Batista has gone through shows a lot of spirit. I believe that even though Batista overcome an enormous amount of pain, there is still a great portion of pain to be piled on his plate, and I am, and always will be, amazed by the way he overcomes his pain. And to ju st see his aggression in the ring makes me smile and when I see him, I just can't stop smiling. I really appreciate everything he has done for the sport of wrestling and I just can wait to see what else he has in store for us. And that is why I am a Batista fan; you never know what he is going to do next.

i like Dave Batista because when you watch this guy wrestle you think wow this guy is tough, taking all the pain.Like the one he took in Vengance. That was the most pain i have seen anyone take. This man shows no fear from anyone and is never backing down in a fight. I have been his fan since 2002 and since then i was like o my god this guy is the most amazing wrestler in the wwe history. And till today i still back up that statment. And i will keep on supporting that statment. Man, Batista if your reading this i want you to know that if you keep doing what you are doing you will soon accomplish your dream to become the Undisputed champion. I belive iin you man and i know that you can beat anyone you want if you put your mind in it. You see if people don't belive me they can check out the top 25, you have been the number 1 wrestler in the wwe for 2 weeks stright and you have been in the top five 3 weeks in a row and i know you will keep on making the top five becuase that is the kind of wrestler you are the one who doesn't need to try to pick up a victory no matter what. For example you and Triple H, in all 3 matches you have showed who the better man is and i know that The Hell In A Cell you went through soo much pain, but the other 2 times you didn't. To summerize this wrestler i would say hes the Wrestling god and the greatest wrestler in the World FOREVER!!!!!!!!

Why I like Dave Batista.

Well, there are many reasons why I like him. He came from a crappy background to being the best showstopper there ever was. He is dealing with people that want to bring him down because he is the best. His family life, well he doesnt get to see his family all the time because he is out on the road. He has to deal with the fact that his wife is dying with a treminal illness. He has three daughters he is raising while being out on the road.

He took his childhood and made his future into something he could be proud of and tell his grandchildren of one day. He didn't want to stay in the life he was born into. He had the determination to change his life and not a lot of people do. He told himself that he could rise above his past and make his future golden. He did that and he continues to do that by not being with his wife when she's going through chemotherepy and sick to her stomach. He does it when he sends money to charities in various communities. He puts himself out there to help others understand that they can rise above what life has handed them.

He goes out in the communities and talks about his life and what he went through. He talks about how he decided to change his future because he couldn't change his past. He gives hope back to those who have lost it. He doesn't have to do that but he does. That's why I like Dave Batista.

Why I like Batista?

Batista is one of my favourite wrestlers. In fact he is my favourite wrestler. I like him so much because he is very determined to beat his oponent. He is also very courageous and brave. I have never seen an oponent that was too big or too strong for Batista. He has muscles that every man dreams of to impress his girlfriend...but you know what? No one is like my man! LOL

Batista if you are reading this please please PLEASE know that I am an adoring fan of yours! Some other reasons why I like Batista is because he never backs down. When he's full of blood he never ever backs down, even if his oponent is someone like...Simon Dean to JBL they know that Batista is the best wrestler in the locker room and he can kick anyone's ass anyday of the week and twice on Saturday! LOL!

My favourite Batista moment is ......well every moment Batista was in, it was my favourite. But that was funny when Batista Drank Simon Dean's power drink it was the BEST!!! Other reasons why I love Batista is because of the way he walks to the ring. His muscles move back and forth and his awesome way he does his moves like the Batista bomb baby! that move is the best and every single person in that locker room knows it. The Batista bomb is the most dominating move in WWE history!!

It's going to be impossible for anyone to take the heavy weight championship from him. He is one of the ninth wonders of the world to me (and to my freind). We see all these wrestlers talking about how great they are but Batista seems to just be the best in every wrestling fans eyes. Batista is an outstanding man!

If Batista ever touched my hand I will never ever wash it. Batista was born to wrestle and the only reason why I watch wrestling is because of Batista. Batista is the reason why WWE is a great complete company. He has taken over the World Wrestling Entertainment company. He will ALWAYS be my favourite and ultimate wrestler. You know what.....he should be in the hall of fame.

So everybody, if there is a tall, hot,brave,great man standing in front of you, then that means that they have unleashed the aminal BATISTA!

When I saw Batista for the first time on SmackDown with Devon I knew he would be a big superstar. By the looks of things this man seems to have it all and I know that he is an OUTSTANDING wrestler. I have watched every match Batista has had since his entrance into the WWE. He is great dresser, and he look good in any thing he has on. I have his posters and some of his tee-shirts. I watch SmackDown every friday night just to see him. I am a member of fan club. Although I have not yet meet him in person but I am sure he has a great personality along with his good looks. I am so glad that he is still the World Heavy Weight Champion. I think Batista is a very great man. I sometimes wonder what I would say to such a man like Batista if I saw him for the first time, I think I would freeze in place and just stare at him. I know he probably would laugh and think I was werid but it would be okay.

I just want to talk to him and see what keeps him going. You see I am in the Navy and I have been in 3 different wars for this country and I try to stay sane but sometimes it is hard becuase I miss my famliy so much. I wonder how he does it. He is a great great man. I wish my man was at least half of a man that Batista is. One day, I'll be like Batista.

I've been a wrestling fan since I was 8 years old and now i'm 16. I've seen my share of big superstars, but Batista is one of the most admiring and toughest world champions in WWE History. He proves that despite living a tough life, you can still eventually conquer your fears or objectives and be on top. He is a great champion and I wish the best for him because he continues to inspire me and fans worldwide, he's also a great man from what I hear and see. I'll never forget when I was at WWE Smackdown in Worcester in July when I was in the first side row and Batista saw my sign. It said "Dreamteam of the Champions" with pictures of Batista and John Cena on it. He saw it after a dark match though which means it wasn’t on t.v. Anyway, when he saw my sign I went estatic in my mind. I was so happy and shocked to see a world champion standing in front of me, he was so huge and jacked! Anyway he smiled at me, politely took my sign, and put it in front of a photographer to take a picture. I still have the sign to this day! Anyways, Batista is awesome and I have a world amount of respect for him. God Bless Batista and God Bless wrestling.

Your Really Big Fan, Rob Milton

David is like a trophy on his own for the whole world to cherish. On-screen he is a dominating entertainer,and backstage he is a soft-spoken teddy-bear. I've been watching wrestling ever since I was a child about 4 years old, and I've known a lot of wrestlers. David is unique, undeniably one of a kind. He is an all-rounded jaw-dropper. Who knows how many hours he spent in the gym to own such a physique, and to that extent.

I've been crazy for him ever since he was in RAW, with Evolution. I didn't get to see him in Smackdown, because of a certain television breakdown. But David somehow would come around in a girl's mind a 'Dream guy'. He is a very concerned, protective man being Batista himself. He'd always come around saving Evolution's neck, especially HHH. And when he became world champion, he was just..indescribable. Really, it's like so hard to describe him. But he is probably a lovable man. People would get a hint of that if they saw how David hugged J.R.

All I can say is that David is adorable!!!! And he is like totally REAL. Other wrestlers were normal entertainers, some actors, but David was a bouncer!! That's REAL!!!!

Oh my God. I can't say anymore. David is just awesome. Definitely a great man. And last of all, I admire him because he's a family man. It's hard to get family men in this millenium, so, David is just..a fantasy!!

This may come as a shock to a lot of people but I never noticed Batista until he started his series of matches against HHH. I was really out of wrestling for a while and me being a fan since a little girl well it kinda grew tiresome... But once I noticed him I was hooked. He's just that kind of guy! Bold & confident yet soft & somewhat vulnerable to those who are most near to him. Sure he is a great looking guy but by just looking at his eyes, one can see that there is so much more to him... An inspiration to all, coming from an awful childhood and currently battling asthma from such a physically draining career... Even having to go through such mental fatigue with his wife's sickness he is still a man who walks with his head high. David Bautista, the man, son, father & husband is who I am a big fan of... A true and sincere person who is trying to make a living and become what many of us only dream of becoming. That's right... This man is living the true american dream... And for that... I am a fan for life....

I dont know if I will ever be able to meet Dave one day but when I do... I dont even know what I'll do... But I will give him thanx for inspiring me to try and live out my dreams...

I see Batista as a powerful man that can turn heads anywhere he goes. I work at an airport in Houston, TX and i have been a fan of Batista for 2 years. I saw him walking in the airport and I was so overwhelmed buy his aura and power as he was walking through. I couldn't help but be in awe as he walked with his head held high...confident, and at that moment, I was content with everything. I was seeing him the next night at "No Mercy" and I thought to myself "This is a role model". Batista gives off so much onfidence that it rubs off on you.

I respect Batista as a wrestler. He fights for what he wants and he is determine. He was always behind the curtains(TripleH,RicFlair and RandyOrton) of Evolution and he was mean but down in my heart I knew he was kind, sweet,hot and definately would have a chance of being World Heavyweight Champion.

I was happy when he started wrestling solo it gave us fans a chance to see what he was capable of. If he is offered a challenge no matter what he will never back down from it. Even though other wrestlers do not show it but I think they have much respect for him as a wrestler. When he enters the entrance he is a calm, cool person but if you turn him the wrong way "unleash the animal".

He is one of the hottest wrestlers around.I think one day he will make it into the Hall of Fame.He has good taste in clothes.I am happy and never did doubt him in losing the belt at SummerSlam 2005.I am happy he hates bullies and I am glad JBL lost. I think the belt fits perfect with anything Batista wears.Deep down in my heart this guy will have the belt more than any one else in this business. If he wants it he gets it.

My warning to other wrestlers beware of Batista The Animal. He is hot as ever and will always and I mean always be my hero and #1.

Why do l like Dave Batista?

Dave Batista is an incredible wrestler because, when he gets angry he reminds me of the incredible Hulk. That’s what I like about him. Batista out powers WWE Superstars like Triple H.

Triple H and his boy friend the Nature boy Ric Flair, think that they are some sort of cool guys because they are called the Evolution. When Batista and Randy Orton were in Evolution, I thought they were a bunch of losers because they loved to bully other WWE superstars. Randy Orton had the balls to spit on Triple H’s face and leave Evolution, that’s why the people loved him so much.

When Batista won the 2005 Royal Rumble I couldn’t believe my eyes. The one thing I thought was, is Batista going to stay on Raw or go to Smackdown like a coward. When he made the decision to stay on Raw, he Batista bombed Triple H threw the table which was awesome. I said to myself the old Batista is back and he does not take crap from anyone. The first time I ever seen him was when he was on Smackdown and when he came with Devon. I said, who on the earth is this monster of a man. I was so amazed. Batista is the greatest man there ever will be. Do you know why I call him the best? Because Stone Cold, Kevin Nash and Mankind could not beat Triple H in a hell in a cell, but at Vengeance 2005 he kicked the crap out of the stupid moaning game that talks trash. What would the WWE be without him? Batista is an icon and is even better than the immortal Hulk Hogan.

The World Heavy Weight Championship suit’s more on Batista’s sexy waist than any other superstar. No one will take Batista out of the spot light. Batista will kick JBL’s ass in any time, any where and anyone else who want's a kick in the ass.

BATISTA FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

Why do I like Batista?

I like Batista because hes not scared to do what he has to do when he has to do it. If someone challenges him to a match he never backs down he gets in the ring and gives his all.

Batista is a man of his word, if he says hes gonna kick your ass then hes gonna kick your ass, just like he did to Triple H at WrestleMania and just like hes gonna do to JBL at Summerslam!

The one thing that really stands out in Batista is that when he gets in the ring to talk he doesnt stand up there for an hour and brag about himself to the world, he goes up and says what he has to say. When JBL goes to make a speech he can be up there for so long just telling the world over and over again that hes a "wrestling God", and that hes gonna kick Batista's ass. (ya right)

Batista is an amazing athlete. When hes fighting for the title he never gives up, just like he said to Hunter " your gonna have to kill me to beat me!"

A couple years ago was the first time I saw Batista and when I did i couldn't get my eyes off him. Hes so HOT! The best thing about his looks are those amazing brown eyes and that sexy smile he has. Everytime I see him smile I cant help myself to smiling too. At the summerslam press confrence when JBL said that Batista looked like Tarzan I wanted to beat his ass so hard.

I love watching wrestling so much but without Batista there it just wouldnt be the same to me. Batista is my idol when it comes to keeping fit and stayin in style. I love Batista's sence of style.

One day I'm gonna meet Batista and tell him what a great guy he is ... and I'll probably ask for a hug and kiss! LoL.

Well thanx for giving me and all the other Batista fans a place to share how we feel about him ... O and Dave keep kickin ass!

Dave Batista has the sexiest physique and style. He won the outrageous monster Triple H, three times. That is wicked! He defeated the game! He has unbelievable power and so much strength! Everyone one knows that! All the rest of the super stars are jealous of Batista. They know that the bottom line is, Batista can beat anyone any where at any time .Batista is uncontrollable. When he gets out of his cage he sure does a lot of damage to the wrestlers amongst him.

Batista is an elegant man and very good looking. The only reason why I watch wrestling is because of Batista. If he leaves WWE then the WWE will lose its spark.

Batista has so much strength, you can see the impact when he gives the power bomb! Batista’s power bomb is awesome!

If I go any further I will explode because he is proper cool! He is my favorite wrestler, and always will be! Batista’s in line with Bruce lee the legend. Bruce lee is excellent in martial arts. However Batista is brilliant in wrestling and he is going to become a legend. Boy everyone is going to know Batista, and hopefully he will be in the centre of attention. Who will be the wrestling legend? Batista. It’s going to be a common thing. Batista is an impressive wrestler and is the best and there is no doubt about it. Batista is gorgeous and intellectual. The first time that I saw Batista was on smack down, I thought who is this incredible monster, with a heavy chain round his muscular neck. This was a warning for the wrestlers to not mess with the best ‘Batista’, or else they are dead meat. Batista is a predator, the wrestlers are preys in front of Batista. Batista has a lot of aggression that’s what I love about him. If anyone pisses him off, he gives them a hell of a bad beating. All he does is he takes it nice and sweet, then kicks the person ass! (With a lot of impact)! I loved the way that Batista gave the old goat Ric flair the Batista bomb. (He deserved it)

Batista is a pure champ the heavy weight champ belt suits him. It’s like if it was made for Batista. The last thing that I want to say is he is the only good looking guy from WWE, the rest are horrible but he’s gorgeous. I love you so much and I hope you like this essay. This is my own interpretation of “Why do I like Batista“

Why do I like Dave Batista? Dave Batista is one of those wrestlers that doesn't take crap from anyone. He won't let any person that talks crap about him pass by. The first time I saw Batista was when he was with Evolution. I saw that he was just kissing Triple H's ass & he wasn't my favorite wrestler at that point. Once Triple H was setting him up & he realized what was going on & turned his back on Triple H, that's when he became my favorite wrestler.

I also like Batista for the fact that he is a hardworking wrestler & won't give up on anything. He's one of the most competitive wrestlers in the WWE business & when someone challenges him, he won't back down. The one thing I like most about Batista is that he defeated Triple H 3 times! Triple H was talking all that smack but then Batista finally shut him up. Batista is the perfect wrestler on Smackdown & ever since Evolution got rid of Randy Orton, he made a bigger impact on Raw & now that he's on Smackdown, he's going to make an even bigger impact on Smackdown to show that he's the greatest wrestler.

Fit.Sexy.Beautiful.Courageous.Heroic.Perfect. I could go on but there isn't enough time or space in this world to justify your feelings about Batista. There are just so many!

I've been watching wrestling since the age of four and fell in love with it instantly. I loved the lights, the fans but most of all i loved the superstars. It was to me the greatest show on earth and nothing could ever take that away from me. I'm 14 well maybe 10 years isn't that long of a time compared to some people but to me it seems like a lifetime. I've grown up with it and still love it to this day.

The first time i saw Batista is sort of blurry. You see so many things have happened it's just hard to remember sometimes. I do remember though Batista joining Evolution-the worst decision maybe of his life in my opinion. You can have the fame, the money, the house, the car and the power but the thing thats most important is having the fans and your own dignity. Ok Triple HHH may have started his successful career but he took away his rights. His right to be independant, the right to do what's right and most importantly the right to love and let people into your lives. See no one really knew Batista in Evolution he was just this big heavy machine that would flatten you if you ever crossed him or his peers. He was a bully. It may seem harsh but that's who he was. No actually it was what he was turned into.

He was an apprentice that had no freedom and no goal in life. He was a man with no respect for others and for himself. Luckily he was at the right place at the right time which earned him that respect. Thanks Triple HHH. When he won the world heavyweight championship i was so happy and proud. He's everything a man should be and was. He's the purest human being that ever existed without him there is no wrestling to me. If i was his family i would be so proud of him and i look up to him so much he makes me who i am. And as i said there isn't enough time and space in the world to justify your feelings about him and i'm running out of space! Fit. Sexy.Beautiful.Courageous.Heroic.Perfect.

Hello, my name is Ray, but you can call me Black Belt Demon. I am very excited (and a bit scared) to write this essay. Ever since I watched RAW, and when Batista made his debut in 2002, I slowly started to become a fan of him.

When he was a heel and was acting like a cold-hearted animal, I didn't--no, I couldn't relate to him. He was always angry-looking, not even sporting a happy smile. The only time he smiled was when he made others suffer. I wondered to myself day and night that this wasn't the real him.

It couldn't be.

When he was selected as the enforcer for Evolution, I was both excited and angry. I was excited because Triple H chose the right man. I was angry because he was taken advantage of. Oh, how it was really friendly of him to be so loyal and Tripsy had to use him for his selfish desires. I yearned for that one day that Dave could be on his own.

When Dave was a heel, I didn't like his personality. Okay, I must admit, him being an animal was really sweet...but he was so one-dimensional. He didn't have an array of feelings to identify him as a human being. He was just a monster. He was a caged canary; not having the freedom to express himself, to love others; Dave was even stripped of the right to be loved by so many who cared for him.

Even the ones who loved him.

My heart broke when the news came that Dave was betrayed by Tripsy and Flair. After all those years of surpreme loyalty, it was revealed that he was being stabbed in the back. He was stabbed by the ones who took him under their wings, who disciplined him like a father, who nurtured him like a mother. After powerbombing Tripsy and signing the contract to challenge his former friend at WW21, it was clear that Dave was betrayed. So much for loyalty. His anger paid off when he defeated Tripsy at WW21, and beat him thrice.

Now no longer a member of Evolution, it seems that he's coming out his shell. He's not inflicting pain on innocent people, he's inflicting pain on those who push him to the edge and pose a threat to the ones he loves. In my eyes, Dave is the canary that has flown out his isolating cage and flies away to heaven. I always saw an angel in him...but why, I ask myself, why does he push people away from getting to know the real him? Why does he put on this mask of fear and pestilence? Is he scared? I know that he's not afraid neither anyone nor anything, but is he afraid of others getting to know him?

The answer is no. He gets along with Maria and JR. He even saved him. How courageous and brave of him. He's so confident in himself...well, not too too confident. He's also brave and loyal. It's that loyalty and trustworthiness imbued in him that makes him a consummate best friend. That's why I like him so much...even love him.

Yeah, he's beautiful. See, I don't like using terms like 'sexy' or 'hot' to describe Dave's appearance. I use the term 'beautiful' because of both his exterior and interior. He has a beautiful personality, then the beauty outside him follows. I most part I like of Dave is his brown eyes. Stare into them. What do you see? Nothing? That's what you think. If you look closely with your eyes and heart, you'll see the real Dave. A kind, caring, sensitive, loyal and trustworthy man who has been betrayed.

In conclusion, I accept Dave just the way he is inside. Now that the mask has been taken off, we can really see the Dave I longed for: a extremely beautiful man with a heart of gold.

Do you really want to know why i love batista so much? Well its sort of hard to explain,Batista is the only wrestler that i have this burning passion for.He is just so perfect.The one thing that really makes me wild for him is his personality.He is the only wrestler that dose not stand out in the ring and talk about his self,He lets all of his competers sit there and spit words then he goes to the ring and shuts them up!He goes out to the ring and does what all of the people came to see. he completly steels the show all the time and alot of times when wrestling goes off the tv his match is the only on I can remember. Well i could go on all day about why i LOVE batista but this is basicly why......i LOVE batista so much and i hope i gave you enough information on why!

Dave Batista, The ultimate immortal and omnicient Animal. Ever since Dave made it big he has been united in the hearts of all fans. With or without Evolution his inner talent was bursting with the colors of success. Many times he was underestimated, But obviously he made it through. In media, On television or just as an ordinary person, He is perfect.

Why I like Batista, Hmph. Where do I start. Unlike many of those rattle snakes, The overplayed Games or the leggend killers out there, " The Animal" surely practices what he preaches. If he says then he does. You see, While the rest are pretty cocky , Batista is confident. And from what I know, Confidence and Cocky are two different things. He drips and oozes talent. He IS the next hall of famer. No questions asked no doubt.

Do you need the perfect example of his talent? Well, How about Hell in a Cell? A chair with barb wires, a chain and a sledge hammer. After all these barriers in his way he ultimately made the big One Two Three! count out on Triple H. Think about it, If he can survive the infamous Pedagree, Then who is there left to beat him. Batista says before Vengeance, " Triple H, Your gonna have to kill me to get this belt. I dont fear the cell and I dont fear you!." And all I know is I saw no fear in his eyes. I just saw the bloody remains of Hunter.

Second reason I love him. His kindness and his show of respect. Right after Hunter claimed he's leaving, Rick Flair showed his fake phethetic attitude. While Rick was out there getting what he deserves, Batista came out to help him. And how does he repay him? By a punch where the sun dont shine. Anyways, My point is, As much as he should show off, He doesnt. He actually shows respect to whom he thinks deserve it. Not to mention how he helped JR in the match between HHH and JR. I'm sure his attitude will be the same now on Smackdown.

The last reason. Well I dont think I have to explain. Take a good look at him ladies. If you like skiny little wimpy guys. He's just not that. His good, no actually hot and sexy looks, his style, his attitude towards his fans and fellow wrestlers and his extreme talent make him the prefect MAN as well as the perfect ANIMAL.

I first saw the Animal a couple of years ago when I got my first chance to watch wrestling after a decade. I saw Dave and he was great. Ever since I seen him I knew he was going to dominate like the Take and Kane. Look at Batista now: The new World Heavyweight Champ. What impresses me the most about the Animal is the amount of time and effort that he put into shaping his body into what it is now. He is my idol, because of him I do have a dream of becoming a pro wrestler someday. I wish I could meet Dave and if I do become a wrestler that dream will hopefully come true and maybe making friends with Dave would be a possibility.

The reason I like Dave Batista is because he is a down to earth kind of person. He goes out there every week and gives the fans what they paid good money to see...and that's Batista giving it everything that he's got. He's got charisma, charm, and not to mention drop dead good looks. He's the total package. If I could tell Dave Batista one thing...it would be to never change who is or what he's all about. He is everything that I hope to be in my life...and what I mean by that is that I want to be less shy and to be more sucessful. I want to be a professional wrestler one day...and I hope that by the time that comes to be...Dave Batista will still be there to help me out.

I missed out watching wrestling for quite some time as I was in hospital everyday visiting my mother while she suffered the last stages of her breast cancer I believe Dave's wife suffered ovarian cancer and bravely fought and won her battle which is great and looking at Batista and his wedding ring that he always wears he would have been right there along side her he his definitely a family man.

When I finally began watching wrestling again a year and a half ago (approx )just after my mum passed I seen Batista for the first time and I was truly amazed at how good a wrestler he is and he really grew on me and I somehow knew he would be champ one day,but I am still amazed how well he handles himself in and out of the ring his talking skills are great and he has a cute but devilish smile hes taunts are very funny and has given HHH the fight of his life I hope he stays champion for a very long time and I would someday like to meet him and give him a big cuddle I guess I would need big arms..LOL One more thing to add thank-you to all the wonderful Batista sites without you I wouldn't be able to check back on Daves career and all his highlights I previously missed((Big thanx to u))

I could name a hundred reasons why I am a Dave Batista fan. I will name the few that really stands out. To start off, I will say that his appearance and wrestling skills are what first caught my eye. I soon discovered that there is much more about him that I like. I learned about about what he was going through with his wife and her cancer. I really felt for him because I know how hard it is to see someone you love go through that. I could tell how sensitive he is toward her and I respect that because that is how it should be. I keep him and his whole family in my prayers everyday. I continued to learn new things about him that made me like him even more. Everyone that has met him had the same great experience. I have heard that he is a very quiet,shy, and sweet person who has a soft-spoken voice. He is definitely a man with integrity and class and who will always have my respect. I could always tell by looking into those beautiful brown eyes that he has a wonderful hear t and soul. His smile just melts my heart because you know that it is true and genuine. The world would be a better place if there were more people like him. He is truly one of the best people I will ever have the pleasure of meeting. When that day comes, I will express my gratitude and appreciation towards him.

God Bless and Sincerely, April

Batista shows the quailities of a real champion. He's cool calm and collected. He's not a braggart, doesn't swear, and does what is right by other wrestlers. He's not out to end someone elses career by breaking bones. He just slams all comers. Keep on kicking butt Dave!

Best wishes,

I am a BIG fan of Batista, a big fan of wrestling period. I come to school every Tuesday saying how awesome Batista and Raw was. Anyone listening in on my conversation with my friends tells that wrestling is fake. I tell them wrestling is NOT fake it is a work, they know who will win but it isn't fake.

The reasons I like Batista are: He is extremely talented in the ring and on the mic. Batista has the best body in the WWE and the best there has ever been. He went thru you know where with his wife's cancer and still comes out every week and cracks at least one smile, and when he smiles it seems to be contagious because I end up smiling and it seems as if the rest of the fans at the arena are too. He seems like a truly great man. And I got to let this one out he is freaking sexy lol sorry had to do it this just wouldn’t have been the same without it.

I have been watching wrestling for years and I haven't seen a wrestler in a long time that catches my eye the way that Dave Batista does. Not only is he a perfect male specimine and has the most gorgeous body, he has great character and is a nice guy all around. This year, I finally got to meet him. He came over and signed autographs even though he was eating and had a show to prepare for. He took time for his fans and that counts most of all in my eyes because where would wrestlers be withut fans?

Dave also has the most beautiful brown eyes I have ever seen. When you look into them you can see right into his soul. He also has a beautiful smile that melts your heart.Dave inspires me to become a more fit and healthy person. I recently started exercising and eating healthy again. He keeps me on track.I hope i get to meet him again someday, he is a very nice guy. Thank you for letting me boast about Dave and letting me speak my mind.

You ask me...Why am I a fan of David Bautista? You will not understand unless you are a wrestling fan...People ask me...Why are you so addicted to wrestling? It's fake! But I always say "Hell that's not the point." I know wrestling is fake but it entertains me and it gives that adrenaline some pumping up whenever you watch a show like WWE. And one night I saw this beast named Batista.

He has a million dollar body. Shows ruthless aggression and he's a great performer. He is once part of evolution and now he's unleashed. I read about his story when he was a kid...He's involved in drugs and bad company...He is a D student, and tried to runaway as a child...Others may think "what a loser!", but for me, it's not. It's very inspiring and it takes a keen eye to understand a life like that. Others may find it dissapointing. But did it ever crossed your mind that he has good reason in doing those things? His father is a filipino and his mom is a greek. And being a filipino myself, I am proud and happy to see an achievement like that and winning the gold at not just any event, but at the grand daddy of them all...Wrestlemania 21.

He's now a champ but I read something that dissapointed me a lot. I read a forum page discussing "Filipino wrestler in WWE?" and people who gives comments on that page are filipinos...They said..."He looks like a filipino but he's not proud of being one". And I also read this one saying "I don't like him because word didn't even spread here in this country that he is a filipino." I read a lot of things...even foul languages describing Batista. If you're reading this essay and is one of those people who is judging without understanding, listen up...You have no idea what Batista has gone through and life in the WWE isn't easy! I have read a lot of story about superstars that has been through a life like Dave's and it's very inspiring. Stop internet chats disrespecting a superstar like Batista. And to those filipinos who always talks about "not being proud as a filipino" just shut up and think about it. If Batista is proud or not of being one, ask yourself WHY. And I asked that question myself. In this country I live in right now people give out nasty rumors that are not even true about the person. And that's just not right. If you don't like the person just shut up cause your insulting not only the superstar but the WWE industry itself.

I have liked Batista since I first saw him on Raw. It was not only his physical appearance that caught my eye, but the attitude he had, and the way he carried himself as a person. After I saw Batista's first match, and how nobody could throw him around like a little rag doll I thought to myself he is cool. I actually was going to stop watching wrestling because it was getting boring to me and I could predict what was going to happen, but then Batista showed up. The more and more I have watched Raw and seen Batista's character grow into the person he is today I realized that he is someone that can be a role model to children, teenagers, and adults.

One of the main reason's why I am a Batista fan is because he never quits and he always gives his best when he is in the ring and out of the ring. Batista is my role model in the fact that I always think to myself in tough situations would Batista make this choice or that choice. I always think what would batista do? In doing that I make the choices that are wise. Since I started watching wrestling I have always had my group of guys, and I would change them up but Batista has been on my list since he entered Raw and he is the man in my eyes. I have never disliked him, and I don't think I ever will.

Batista is cute and buff, but that is not all that he is. His smile is another thing that attracted me to him as a superstar. He is intelligent, and when he was in evolution he never let triple h talk him down and treat him like a little boy. He stood up for himself, and not only did he not let hhh do it he didn't let anybody treat him like dirt. Batista in my eyes, out of my list of guys is the best.

Dave is the "ultimate" when you think of wrestling, but the one thing that stands out about him for me is his sheer presence. His presence in the ring makes one stand up and recognize that not only is he a gorgeous specimen.......he is an even better wrestler.

He doesn't boast about his size, if anything I belive he tries to downplay it. He actually seems very modest and shy-like.

I have watched Dave for a long time, and he continues to get better every day. My oldest son has a dream to meet him one day, as do I, and I couldn't think of a better role model for my son than Dave.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and thanks for giving us Batista fans a place to speak.

Ive liked batista about 2 to 3 weeks after i saw him debut on raw i liked him when he was a bad guy and even better now that he is a good guy.

I am a bodybuilder and he keeps me going when i feel like i cant push out a last rep or dont feel like working out i just think what would batista do he wouldnt give up. My ultimate dream is to one day to look like batista to have all the physical atributes that he has im 15 now and i hope buy the time im 20 that i can look a little like him.

Dave bautista is the major reason i stay out of trouble but also one of the main reasons i get into some trouble because i have alot of strength in me. im about 210-220 pounds and i can pick up my brother who weighs in about 300 pounds and do the spinebuster to him.so when i get mad when im in a fight i think of batista getting mad and i take out who ever im fighting.

bautista you can say is my role model i look up to him in everthing i do good or bad i just ask my self what would batista do?????

I like Batista not because he is fine or muscular, because he is a smart person. He never lets HHH put him down he just beats him up.

I think all women who are in love with him should look beind his finest and study his character. Which i think is just wonderful.

I have been a Batista fan for a year and think is is the best wrestler of all time. I think he has mad skills and can succeed in anything he does and if I ever see him on the street I'll say hi Mr. Batista out of respect for him.

I hope I can one day meet him to tell him I judge him on his character not his looks or money. I hope other people get to read my essay, and see that u should never judge a person on looks.

Since I have been watching wrestling I have always had, my guys. But I think Batista is the man. The last man that I watched faithfully was Ultimate Warrior!

I like Batista, because he does what he says, he's not a talker. I have been fond of him. And behind the scenes I have been told he is the gentlemen. I have yet to meet him in person but maybe one day I will be able to shake his hand, and know that I have been able to meet someone that has an impact on the world.

A lot of girls say he's cute and buff, I try to look deeper and I have enjoyed his web sites. I have learned a lot about him. So when I watch him on RAW, I always say one day I will meet him. I was at Survivor Series and we sat high so the people werent clear. It was intense and enjoyed what I saw but I wish I was close enough to have good pictures.

Batista to me has really been out there and like I said before one day meeting him would be an honor. This is just some things that make him who he is and he will continue to stun us more and more as each week gets closer to Wrestle Mania,which we have already purchased so that I can watch him get what he deserves and I know he will!!!!! Thanks for taking time to read this.
