Batista talks about how WWE has a very toxic environment
The former WWE star Batista has recently opened up on the struggles he faced during his starting days in the WWE. The Animal also talked about how the company’s environment is very competitive yet toxic.
Batista on speaking with Lauren Larson of Men’s Health revealed:
“It was just a very toxic atmosphere. Wrestling is very competitive. It’s very cutthroat. You’re put in a position where you have to posture up all the time, and it’s exhausting. It’s just exhausting.”
The former WWE champion has certainly made it known that wrestling is not easy at all. He adds that because of it being so competitive and cutthroat it translated into toxicity.
Was Batista worried about getting fired by the WWE?
This might come in as surprise to a lot of people but, Batista claims that he was worried everyday that he might get fired. During the same interview, Batista opened up on his early days with the WWE and said:
“I couldn’t get comfortable, people didn’t like me, I was doing something wrong, the company wasn’t going to do anything with me, they didn’t know what to do with me, they didn’t know where I fit in.”
Batista claimed that he still loved wrestling at that point even with all the mental baggage it came with. However, he was always worried because he felt that he did not fit in. Batista is seemingly done with wrestling for good now, his last run with the company was back in 2019 and he currently has no plans of returning to the ring again.
