Bruce Prichard recently took to his “Something to Wrestle With” podcast to look back on the well-documented backstage fight that took place between Batista and Booker T during their time working together in WWE, whether Batista had an attitude issue, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Batista’s backstage altercation with Booker T: “To be very clear, I was not there. Thank God I wasn’t … I’m handicapped here in the way that Booker T is one of my very best friends. Dave Batista is a very good friend. And I love them both dearly. [I] wish it wouldn’t have happened. Why it happened? They know, and only they know. Anybody else is going to put their spin on it or what they think … Everybody’s going to want to put their own spin on it. Dave Batista and Booker T are the only two people who know why they fought.”
On the one time Batista had an attitude issue: “It was an autograph signing, and Dave was in a particularly bad mood. Dave was really rude to some kids and some parents. That’s one of those [situations] where I say, ‘You never know who your audience is.’”
On talking to Batista afterward: “We got to TV and I [spoke to] Dave. I said, ‘Man, we’re gonna make it right.’ And he says, ‘Oh, trust me. I’ll make it right.’”
