Batista

Professional wrestler Batista was born David Michael Bautista Jr. on Jan. 18, 1969, in Washington, D.C. He started his career wrestling for WXW under the name Kahn, and soon after he signed a deal with WWE using the name Leviathan, and making his debut in May 2002. He won his first World Heavyweight Championship at “Wrestlemania 21” when he defeated Triple H in the main event. Some of his finishing and signature moves are the ‘Batista Bomb,’ ‘Spinebuster,’ ‘Knockout Clothesline’ and the ever popular ‘Suplex Powerslam,’ and some of his nicknames are “The Animal,” “Big Dave,” “The Beast” and “Estafista” by his fans in South America. Batista has torn his right tricep three times, and has had four surgeries to repair it. He is also a breakdancer, and he has guest starred on an episode of the CW Network television series “Smallville,” playing a villain named Aldar, who could suck the bones out of people. Batista married his wife Angie in October 1998, and he has three daughters, two from a previous marriage and one stepdaughter

Batista

Batista

has been “The Animal” since childhood, in temper if not in name. Raised in a rough part of southeast Washington, D.C., he describes himself as being “a skinny kid with asthma and a bad size complex”— and a penchant for getting into trouble with authorities. He spent a few years in San Francisco after his parents separated, until his mother sent the troubled teen to live with his father in suburban Virginia. By the time he turned 17, he was estranged from both parents, living on his own, and still getting into trouble.

For the better part of 10 years, Batista spent his days training and competing as a bodybuilder, and his nights “bouncing in clubs, floating from here to there.” (He’s still amazed that one club he worked at is less than two blocks from Washington D.C.’s MCI Center, where he defended his World Heavyweight Championship against JBL at SummerSlam in 2005.) His drifting stopped the night he unleashed his explosive temper on two patrons who had attacked his fellow bouncers. “By the time I was finished with them,” he relates, “they were lying on the ground with their eyes rolling in the back of their heads. I was very scared they were going to die.” They didn’t, but the incident did result in Batista’s arrest, a year’s probation, and his decision to make radical changes in his life.

Enrolling in Wild Samoan Afa’s wrestling school in Allentown, Pa., Batista admits that at first he saw WWE simply as “a way to make a living” - until he was told at a WCW tryout that he didn’t have the chops to make it as a wrestler. “That lit a fire under my a**. Wrestling became an obsession that I fell in love with. I completely redirected my training and philosophies, redesigned my body and mental outlook. I just really wanted to be an athlete and an entertainer.”

Though his personal perseverance brought him to WWE in May 2002, Batista credits former Evolution colleagues Triple H and Ric Flair with developing “a muscleheaded goofball” into a World Heavyweight Champion, one who backs his composed words and demeanor with an explosive fury befitting his nickname. He considers himself neither a leader nor a follower in the locker room (“I’m just a loner, I keep to myself,” he insists), but inside the ring, on the covers of muscle mags like FLEX, and even once against budding Superman Tom Welling on The CW Network series Smallville, “The Animal” is clearly a dominant species. A dominant species who, by the way, has collected more than 50 vintage tin lunchboxes. Our advice: respect this six-foot-six, 290-pound beast and his 1967 Green Hornet sandwich container (sporting Bruce Lee’s face on the front), which he cherishes among his most prized possessions. You’ll live longer.

Batista recently underwent a major change of attitude on SmackDown. After attacking his former comrade-in-arms Rey Mysterio, he began to shut out the WWE Universe, declaring with ruthless indignation that he was in WWE to "win championships and make money" and nothing else. Moments after John Cena recaptured the WWE Title at No Way Out in 2010, Batista defeated the war torn new champion to once again claimed his place at the top of the mountain

Darren Young...

Darren Young...
As comfortable in the VIP section as he is in the ring, Darren Young’s life revolves around three things — money, women and wrestling. Blessed with natural talent and a physique only seen in comic books, this fixture on the South Beach club scene is so gifted he can party all night and still be the first man in the gym the next morning. Young may be flashy, but any man on the WWE NXT roster would be a fool to underestimate a competitor as talented as this.

John Cena...

John Cena...
Let’s be honest: hailing from the rolling hills and broad valleys that constitute West Newbury, Mass., will likely never earn you “street cred”--unless, of course, you’re John Cena. Then again, it didn’t happen overnight for him, either. Long before he became the Dr. of Thuganomics, young Cena had to endure the neighborhood rocker kids’ taunts about his baggy pants and rayon Kwamé shirts. His love for freestyling lyrics about rebellion and individualism just didn’t fit within the small rural community. By the time he turned 15, however, those same kids would stop teasing him, for it became apparent that Cena had been developing another passion: hitting the gym.

After applying to more than 60 colleges (and being accepted by 58), Cena attended Massachusetts’ Springfield College, where he excelled as a Division III All-American offensive lineman and team captain for the Pride. But as much as he fondly remembers his college football accomplishments, he’s equally as proud of earning his degree in Exercise Physiology, which he attributes to making him a smarter, more durable performer in the ring today.

Though a huge WWE fan since childhood, rooting for heroes like Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, and Shawn Michaels, Cena had honestly never even considered a career in WWE. Instead, he flew out to California in 2000, to pursue a profession in bodybuilding (a move he now admits to making simply because his father had told him he wouldn’t make it out there). But while working behind the counter of Gold’s Gym in Venice, a discussion with a wrestler-in-training encouraged Cena to enroll in classes at Ultimate Pro Wrestling. He was instantly hooked, and became motivated to learn everything he could about his newfound craft. He obviously proved a quick study; within a year, World Wrestling Entertainment signed Cena to a developmental contract to train at Ohio Valley Wrestling. By June 2002, he had joined the SmackDown roster, and less than a year later headlined the first of what has since become countless main-event matches.

That said, Cena has never forgotten his roots. In fact, remembering where he came from has helped him evolve into the man he is today: a well-versed hip-hop artist, a successful movie star and a blue-collared Superstar who’s always ready to fight. He leads his WWE fan-based army into battle with the mission statement he’s been down with since Day One: hustle, loyalty and respect.

Rey Mysterio...

Rey Mysterio...
Exploding onto the WWE scene in the mid 1990s, the colorfully masked Rey Mysterio quickly redefined the way the game was played in the ring. From his awe-inspiring West Coast Pop to his trademark 619, Mysterio is on the cutting edge of wrestling excellence. The definitive high-flying Superstar, Mysterio, despite his size, is an innovative underdog that fans of all ages have grown to respect and love.

Rey's impressive championship resume ranks up there with the all-time greats. His World Championship reign complimented eight Cruiserweight Championships, four WWE Tag Team Championships and one Royal Rumble win.

Becoming a World Champion is something he aspired to do all his life. While growing up in San Diego, Rey Mysterio always wanted to be a wrestling Superstar. As a young teenager, he followed his dreams by training in the unpredictable and high-flying Mexican Lucha Libre style of wrestling. His training and early career in Tijuana, Mexico, led him to an even bigger stage – first in ECW and then WCW where he revolutionized the fast, high-impact style you now associate with The Master of the 619.

Rey had several memorable matches in his short time with ECW, but his first national exposure came in WCW, where he debuted in early 1996. It didn’t take long for Mysterio to make his mark in WCW, as he defeated Dean Malenko in July ‘96 to capture the first of his eight Cruiserweight Championships.


Upon his WWE debut in 2002, Rey joined the SmackDown roster. From day one, Mysterio formed a strong bond with the show, even after his departure to Monday Night Raw.

Despite an obvious size disadvantage, Mysterio has boldly taken on all comers over the years including the late, great Eddie Guerrero, Matt Hardy, Kane, Big Show, Randy Orton , Mark Henry, The Great Khali, Finlay, Chavo Guerrero, JBL and Chris Jericho.

After finding success on Monday nights, Mysterio returned home to SmackDown, as part of the WWE 2009 Draft, where he has proved stronger than ever before with a reign as Intercontinental Champion.

Jack Swagger

Jack Swagger....
At 263 pounds, "The All-American American" Jack Swagger first came to WWE as part of then-ECW General Manager Theodore Long's New Superstar Initiative.

Growing up, he admired sports-entertainment greats Danny Hodge and Dr. Death Steve Williams, both of who would personally help him in his future training.

First getting involved in wrestling at age 5 and attending a high school that boosted several state wrestling championships, “The All-American American” quickly developed into an outstanding amateur wrestler, becoming a two-time high school Heavyweight State Champion. In true American fashion, he earned a full scholarship to a Division I School in both wrestling and football.

Swagger’s tremendous amateur wrestling background carried him into the world of sports-entertainment, in the tradition of legends Bob Backlund and Hall of Famers Jack and Gerald Brisco. His defined technique brought a completely different style to the Land of the Extreme, and both ECW and the WWE Universe quickly took notice of his sheer charisma and impressive combination of strength, ability, physique, acumen and style. It was no wonder that a Superstar with so much going for him walks with such a swagger in his step.


Swagger describes himself as "The All-American American," the best of the best, and the highest of the high. He doesn’t think he’s the best, he knows it. And for him, it is not a question of what the WWE Universe can expect from him, but what little they can not.

It wasn't long before Swagger's natural talent brought him to Monday Night Raw. And it was there that he earned an opportunity to compete in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania.

At WrestleMania XXVI, Swagger reached a new level of greatness when he overcame nine other Superstars to win the spectacular Money in the Bank briefcase on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Just five days later, “The All-American American” stunned the WWE Universe by cashing in his championship opportunity against Chris Jericho on SmackDown to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.

Now that Jack Swagger has propelled himself into the Friday Night limelight, what's next for the ultra-confident 21st Century Superstar?

Randy Orton

Randy Orton doesn’t have many interests. Other than listening to Metallica or Pantera and watching the occasional movie, wrestling is his life…or, as he would tell you, his destiny.

It’s easy to understand why. His father is WWE Hall of Famer “Cowboy” Bob Orton, his uncle Barry “Barry O” Orton, and his grandfather “The Big O,” the late Bob Orton, Sr. Most kids remember their first ball game or school play; Randy’s childhood memories include sitting in the kitchen of his family’s St. Louis home with “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, and repairing a broken banister leaned on by Andre the Giant. He wasn’t even five years old when he watched his father knock out “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff in the main event at the inaugural WrestleMania, but he already knew he wanted to be a WWE Superstar.

Randy’s parents tried dissuading him; his father even warned that life in the ring meant a life on the road, away from family. Yet Randy, seeing how his friends perceived his world-traveling dad in “a different light,” recalls only thinking the prospect was “quite appealing, and something I wanted to do.”

Still, he agreed to try other avenues first. After graduating Hazelwood Central High School in 1998 (where he was an accomplished amateur wrestler), Orton enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. His plan was to serve a four-year tour of duty, then focus on a wrestling career; his reality was a dishonorable discharge one year later, due to unauthorized absences on two occasions (one for 82 days) and for disobeying a superior officer’s direct order. After spending 38 days in the brig of Camp Pendleton Base, he would resume his civilian life…and to pursuing his destiny
