7 WWE Superstars Who Defied The Odds of 'Making It'

These guys had a dream and worked to achieve it
Even Batista would face rejection

5: Batista

In an interview with Bodybuilding.com, Batista discussed his rejection. After trying out at WCW’s Power Plant, he was told that he wouldn’t make it as a professional wrestler. He explained that it made him furious; he believed he had the heart to make it. After signing up at a private wrestling school, Batista got better, and the rest is history they say. Batista would go on to become a member of Evolution before blossoming into a singles star. He is one of the most successful and popular Superstars of the Ruthless Aggression Era. He is now focusing on acting. Having starred in the super successful Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014 and the James Bond film Spectre in 2015, he looks like he is settling into his new career well.
