“Yeah, I miss it a lot. There’s nothing like it, you know that. There’s just an adrenaline rush that goes along with it. What I don’t miss is the company, to be honest with you. I don’t miss WWE. I miss wrestling, I just don’t miss dealing with the company and its bulls**t. Yeah it’s the bulls**t man, it’s just too much bulls**t.”
Batista On Coming Back And Participating In The Current Product:
