Dave Bautista was the featured guest on Wednesday’s episode of “Ellen”. He was there to promote his Army of the Dead series on Netflix. During the appearance, he commented on beginning to wrestle at the age of 30, which is late for a pro wrestler. He said,
“Really late, but I was at the point where I wasted my 20s in nightclubs. I was a bouncer from the time I was 17 until I was about 30. And I was broke and had no future and had two kids, and I was desperate. So, I was trying to figure out what I could do, and a I light bulb went off over my head. And it was like, ‘What am I qualified to do?’ And professional wrestling was the answer. And of course, I originally failed miserably at that, but of course, I just stuck with it. I found my way, and a few years later, I was world champion.”
