Synopsis:

Quote:

Dave Batista's story is that of a kid who could have gone either way; and it was wrestling that provided him with a way out and up. As a teenager he found himself in trouble with the law, later drifting from job to job until, while working as a bouncer, his temper got the better of him and he attacked two patrons who were giving his colleagues a hard time. It was this incident that made him decide to turn his life around. A hardscrabble wrestler who had been told that he didn't have what it took to make it in professional wrestling, Batista took that as a personal challenge and signed with WWE. His determination to come back from injuries and the heart he shows in the ring have won him countless fans. More than once, on the brink of success, he has had it torn from him until finally, in 2007, he became WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Batista is also renowned for him forthright opinions of his fellow wrestlers. Tough and uncompromising, this book says it all.

I'll probably get this for my cousin, but I'll read it before I wrap it. I'm interested in seeing what these comments are.

How young is your cousin? I heard this isn't very child friendly and he talks about all the women he's banged, and talks a lot of smack about other employees.

Batista Unleashed Book Review

**Fiona** · 30-12-2007, 05:42 AM

I heard him talking about his past and he said he grew up in a single parent home and he and his mom were so poor that they went hungry at times. Also from what I understand he beat those people outside the bar so badly he was afraid he had killed them, that's what turned him to wrestling. Poor guy but at least he's living the good life now.

I just finished reading this, and it was very good.

He's very honest, thinks Bubba Dudley is a "f**king pr**k" and that it's not wise to let Ric Flair drive.

I think Bubba and Buddy Lee Parker are the only wrestlers who get the "pr**k" treatment. He does say that Mark Henry was "careless", but is still a good guy. Flair, Triple H, Booker, Eddie, Rey, Lashley, Kennedy, Chavo, Helms, Edge, Dusty and countless others get praised highly, one of those 'others' is JBL - who pissed in his pants whilst out drinking one night

Being a member of 'Team Batista'

and one of his many loyal adoring female fans ive obviously read his book and infact are thinking about reading it all over again just for the hell of it. I'd reccomend it to wrestling fans possibly over the age of 18, mainly because of the launguage he uses more than his confessions about women and sex - The best parts of this book for me on a personal level were the stories he told about being on the road and travelling to and from shows with the likes of Triple H. and Ric Flair. Batista actually has an amazing sense of humour, despite his reputation outside of the ring for quite often being mean and moody. All in all a good read i'd say
