Last night took place the world premiere of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, featuring Dave Batista as Drax, Bradley Cooper as Rocket and of course Vin Diesel as Groot. Who better to play a kick--super-villain than pro wrestler Dave Batista! Character and real life Dave almost have the same abilities including -Superhuman strength, stamina, speed and durability
Energy blasts, Highly skilled in use of knives, Ability to sense Thanos’ location, Psychic detection of others –well maybe not exactly the same abilities but Batista –in real life –is a six-time world champion, winning the World Heavyweight Championship four times and the WWE Championship twice. He is the longest-reigning World Heavyweight Champion in WWE history, and has won the World Tag Team Championship three times among other super amazing titles.
We want to take a moment to remind you more about the great Dave. The now 45-year-old also can add acting to his outstanding resume and he’s been pretty busy promoting Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.

In May 2002, he made his debut on SmackDown but it wasn’t until a move to Raw and two victories over Kane that “The Animal” began to make noise in the WWE Universe.
