History Funny / BATISTA

* Back in 2008, Batista was warming up/psyching himself up for his match, only to have a fan run in, mug for the camera and imitate Batista's machine gun pose, and get chased out by security. Through it all, Batista has a classic "WTF?!?" look on his face.

* After landing the role of [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Drax the Destroyer]], Batista Tweeted a series of pictures of Drax and [[Film/TheManWithTheIronFists Brass Body]] action figures having a duel with a surprising outcome.[[note]][[https://twitter.com/DaveBautista/status/341851556209111040 Part 1]], [[https://twitter.com/DaveBautista/status/341852178807414784 Part 2]], [[https://twitter.com/user/status/341980726960480256 Part 3]], [[https://twitter.com/DaveBautista/status/341985737295663104 Part 4]], [[https://twitter.com/DaveBautista/status/342048622554271744 Part 5]][[/note]]

* Any backstage segment he had with Eddie Guerrero. Guerrero immediately befriended Batista to avoid a fight with him(and was very clearly up to no good). Batista was very aware of this and knew he couldn't trust Guerrero. But rather than lowering the boom he accepted his friendship and continually played hilarious mind games with him to mess with him and expose his intentions. The most memorable one was his in-ring segment where Batista goes "Tommy Boy" on him and demands a hug, complete with Eddie's priceless face.

* Back in 2009, Batista was warming up/psyching himself up for his match, only to have a fan run in, mug for the camera and imitate Batista's machine gun pose, and get chased out by security. Through it all, Batista has a classic "WTF?!?" look on his face.

* Pretty much all of his final pre-2010 retirement run in WWE, in which he was easily the biggest douche walking the face of RAW in the last five years.

* During the storyline where Triple H was given control of WWE from Vince [=McMahon=] by the company's board of directors, several incidents happened to show that Triple H was losing control and would eventually lead to John Laurinitis attempting to take over. One such "incident" occurred backstage on Raw - Batista was warming up/psyching himself up for his match, only to have a fan run in, mug for the camera and imitate Batista's machine gun pose, and get chased out by security. Through it all, Batista has a classic "WTF?!?" look on his face.

* Rather infamously, Batista was known for wearing skinny jeans during his 2014 return, which left some people wondering how he was going to be able to actually do the Batista Bomb. Cue him trying one time, and [[http://static.sportskeeda.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/bjiesdlciaelsx0.jpg-large-2145252.jpeg ripping them]] [[WardrobeMalfunction wide open]] (in fact, a blowout might be a better term.) Funny enough, but when he appeared on Chris Jericho's podcast, he mentioned a hilarious {{irony}} to the situation. Namely, the pants that ripped weren't skinny jeans, and if he actually ''had'' been wearing skinny jeans (which have some give in the fabric,) they likely wouldn't have ripped at all.

* After winning the 2005 Royal Rumble, he had to decide whether he wanted to stay on [[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]] to challenge Wrestling/TripleH for the World Heavyweight Championship, or cross over to [[Wrestling/WWESmackDown SmackDown]] and challenge Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield for the WWE Championship. On February 17, 2005, he paid [=SmackDown=] a visit. While JBL was cutting a promo, he showed up in his Corvette and parked by JBL's limo. Batista took off his suit coat and got out a bat. He then [[BadassInANiceSuit admired himself in the window tinting]] before [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEfhH8wwDx0 smashing in all the windows on the limo, and ripping off the horns attached to the hood.]] He sped off before JBL's Cabinet could confront him.

* This little gem that happened during his Last Man Standing match against Wrestling/JohnCena:

* The promo Batista recorded after Cena {{duct tape| for everything}}d him to a turnbuckle in order to win a Last Man Standing match.

* Watching Dave [[ChewingTheScenery "hulking out"]] on the Simon System before and during the match was pretty funny. His "salesman" pose at the end...I busted a gut laughing.

* Payback 2014. He's on a team with Triple H and Randy Orton. The both of them are in all black. Batista is in a light, almost powder, blue. When they made their entrance, HHH and Orton both looked at Dave's non-matching outfit as though they were thinking, "God damn it, Dave..." And thus, [[Memes/ProfessionalWrestling BLUEtista]] was born!

-->That was by far...the most embarrassing moment...of John Cena's career. I'm sorry, I take that back. I apologize. That was the most embarassing moment of John Cena's life! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Stoop! That! Low?!]] Duct tape?! ARE YOU SERIOUS? REALLY? DUCT TAPE?! That's something Wrestling/{{Hornswoggle}} would do.

* His Twitter bio lists him as, among other things, a "WWE Jobber." The man certainly knows how to poke fun at himself these days.

* I'm surprised [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Foy-rutOsiU#t=259s this]] segment hasn't been put in here.
