Training Part 1

To start his wrestling career, Batista trained with Afa Anao'i. Afa was one half of the legendary Wild Samoans tag team in the 1980's. He also managed the Headshrinkers and, most recently, trained Mickey Rouke for his Oscar-nominated role in The Wrestler.

This adds credence to my theory that every professional wrestler is trained properly and could perform all sorts of moves if they so wished.

Anyway, Batista's time with Afa helped him get his foot in the door with the WWE and a contract with Ohio Valley Wrestling.
