3 Superstars who didn't watch WWE growing up, and 3 that were hardcore fans

#1 Didn't watch: Batista

The Animal had a great career in WWE but didn't watch the product growing up.

From 2002 until his recent retirement at WrestleMania 35, Batista had an incredible career. Joining the company as the deacon of Reverand D-Von, the Animal would later join Evolution, splitting from the group to win his first of six World Championships at WrestleMania 21, and having a truly Hall of Fame-worthy career.

But before joining the industry, Batista didn't care about wrestling when he was younger. Speaking recently with Ryan and Kelly, the Animal said:

"I actually wasn’t [into wrestling] at first. I actually got into it because I was broke and I was looking for a way to make money."

This plan clearly paid off for the Animal, as Batista would become one of WWE's biggest stars of the 2000s, and his time in the ring would give him the exposure to launch his successful acting career.
