Batista on Mr. McMahon Being Furious With Ric Flair, Scrapped Backstory

Former WWE Champion Batista was recently a guest on Edge & Christian’s Podcast of Awesomeness where he spoke about a very weird backstory for his character that was nixed and why Vince McMahon was so furious with Ric Flair.

Batista first spoke of a proposed storyline Mr. McMahon had that explained why ‘The Animal’ was always so mad. It is rather disturbing, actually. Here is what he had to say:

“[The Ballad Of Little Dave Batista] is never going to go away. Now that I’m thinking about it, that whole [thing], that all stemmed from actually that ridiculous storyline that they were putting together and Vince [McMahon]’s sick head. I mean, [Edge and Christian] know how the whole thing came about. And I was supposed to be the child of a rape. That’s why I was so angry at the world. Yeah, yeah, that was tossed around. Ric was trying to get on my good side and figure out why I was so angry. That was one of the ideas that went around, that maybe I was a child of a rape. It was horrible. And I was raised by foster families. Thank goodness that didn’t happen. At the time, I was like, ‘I don’t know how I feel about that.'”

Batista would explain why McMahon was furious over Flair’s “bloody virgin” comment which aired live on ‘Raw.’

“Do you remember when Ric did the bloody virgin promo? Oh yeah, it was awful. Yeah, he said ‘bloody virgin’ live on RAW and Vince was livid. I came back up to gorilla [position] and Vince was super hot and Ric just couldn’t understand why.”

Finally, Batista explained that it was ‘WrestleMania 23′ when he faced The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship that he really started to understand ring psychology.

“It was really after WrestleMania 23 that things just kind of started [to click], like the lightbulb went off over my head. I just started to really, really get it, just kind of came into my own. I actually took pride in that and I had some of my best matches.”
