Dave Bautista Praised as ‘a Better Person in Every Way’ Following Trump and The Undertaker’s ‘Embarrassing’ Remarks
In recent news, Hollywood actor and former WWE superstar Dave Bautista has garnered support from fans after being ridiculed by Donald Trump and his former colleague, The Undertaker. Bautista, a vocal Democrat who has openly endorsed Kamala Harris for president, found himself at the receiving end of mockery from Trump and his old WWE rivals, Mark ‘The Undertaker’ Calaway and Glenn ‘Kane’ Jacobs, the current mayor of Knox County, Tennessee.
The altercation stemmed from a video shared on TikTok, where Trump is seen seated between the two former wrestling champions. Calaway, 59, addresses the camera, urging viewers to make a choice between supporting President Trump, Kane, and The Undertaker, or siding with Kamala Harris, Dave Bautista, and Tim Walz, emphasizing the significance of the decision for the nation’s future. Trump playfully adds, “And that should be an easy choice.”
While Trump has reportedly appeared on The Undertaker’s podcast, Six Feet Under, the dig at Bautista has invoked a strong backlash against both the former president and Calaway. Fans have rallied behind Bautista, highlighting his success in Hollywood, as well as his advocacy for abortion and LGBT+ rights. One fan voiced, “The fact that Undertaker threw shots and talked s*** about Batista in that TikTok is dumb. Batista is ten times more famous, cooler, richer, and a better person in every way imaginable. F*** Mark Calloway. F*** Glenn Jacobs. F*** Donald Trump. Be like Dave Bautista.”
Another supporter expressed, “I would choose the side with Dave Bautista every day of the week,” with a third remarking, “Imagine thinking sincerely that you clear big Dave Batista. Embarrassing behaviour.” Notably, Bautista’s journey from his wrestling roots to a successful acting career has not gone unnoticed, with fans lauding his accomplishments both in the ring and on the big screen.
Dave Bautista, now 55, transitioned to acting after his WWE stint, making appearances in notable films such as Spectre, Blade Runner 2049, Dune, and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. His breakthrough role as Drax the Destroyer in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy marked a significant turning point in his career, solidifying his status as a versatile and talented actor.
As the entertainment industry continues to support and applaud Dave Bautista for his contributions, the backlash from Trump and The Undertaker serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength exhibited by the Hollywood star in the face of criticism and adversity.
