– Former WWE star Dave Bautista understands there was grumbling about him being selected for a role in the new James Bond movie, “Spectre.” However, he is confident people will be apologizing after seeing him in the movie.
“With Guardians of the Galaxy, I got a lot of people who didn’t want me to have the part before we filmed, and after the film was released, the guys were behind me and they supported me. I even had a few apologies, they were sorry. I hope this will be the same thing because I don’t want to be the guy that’s messing up James Bond. I hope they’ll be happy,” Batista was quoted at Monday’s movie premiere in London, England.
– There is an interesting and compelling story about Brock Lesnar’s connection to a 20-year-old singer, Colter Wall, that was covered by the Southwest Booster publication in Canada. The story goes that Lesnar, who farms in Canada, heard Wall’s music and personally reached out to him. They connected over his country-folk music style, Wall’s music was used for a video package on Lesnar vs. The Undertaker, and they recently met up at Lesnar’s farm. They actually met up Saturday, according to the report, the day before Hell in a Cell in Los Angeles.
“From what I’ve learned about Brock through all this is I think he’s a pretty down to earth guy in the sense he came from a farm in the middle of nowhere, and he is a millionaire now, and he’s literally fought his way to the top,” Wall said. “And when he likes something he really makes it known, and he’s really been working for me. He’s sent me texts saying things like, ‘I’m going to do everything I can for you!’ And I’m just like, ‘Thanks, Brock Lesnar.’”
