Rene Dupree has attacked and criticized Batista, saying coem he hopes he is better off as an actor than a wrestler. Dupree struggled on the main roster between 2003 and 2007, and in those years, Batista transformed from a novice talent into a Wrestlemania main eventer.
He explained: "Batista was physically bigger than Triple H, but he never had a good work ethic. He never put in the effort he should have and his wrestling style was terrible. He had neither grace nor timing. I confess. that I have never seen any of his films.
I hope that as an actor he is better than as a wrestler, otherwise it means that those films are sh*t!" A few days ago, Buddy Lee Parker revealed why Dave was discarded from WCW in the late 90s: "It's true he auditioned way back in 1999.
I was a little curt towards him, because I knew the WCW had no intention of taking it. I had already sensed at the time that he would be better off in WWE. Looking at his career development, I think it was the best thing that happened to him.
