Decked out in expensive shades, apocalyptic tattoos and dressing in slick suits, Batista has the presence of the World Heavyweight Champion. But get him angry and you will bare witness to "the Animal" being unleashed. Projecting incredible intensity and confidence, Batista is a thinking man’s World Heavyweight Champion. A fearless man of a few words, Batista makes those words count and backs them up in the ring with his raw power – twisting spines with the Batista Bomb. Batista’s career took off when he joined Evolution. But when Batista won the 2005 Royal Rumble, he gained the right to challenge Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 21. There, he would reach the pinnacle of sports-entertainment – thanks, in a large part, to his ability to power out of Triple H’s Pedigree finisher attempt.
