While talking with Chris Jericho on his “Talk is Jericho” podcast, Batista ripped into former WCW Power Plant trainer DeWayne “Sarge” Bruce. Here are highlights:
On why he started wrestling: “Originally, I got into it to make some money. I didn’t know much about the pros. I was a fan in the early ’80s, I was a fan in the Attitude Era but I didn’t know anything about it—I wasn’t a hardcore fan… So I got in it because I was broke and closing in on 30. I had two kids and I was still bouncing for $100 a night.”
On the WCW Power Plant: “I went down there at 340 pounds, was all jacked up, went down with a buddy of mine and Sarge and he jumped in our faces and just got on us and he wanted nothing more than to just run us out the door. He was just a bitter troll of a man.”
