WWE legend Dave Bautista appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he talked about a number of topics including how his Leviathan character stunted his growth in OVW.
Bautista said, “That character, it stunted my growth in OVW, because I had nothing but squash matches. I went out and [did] two [or] three moves and my matches were over. I had Goldberg matches. I didn’t progress like the rest of the guys.”
On Fit Finlay helping him in OVW:
“Fit Finlay, in a day, changed my life. Fit just took me aside and started talking to me, like, ‘What’s wrong with you, dude?’ More than the physical stuff, he just got in my head a little bit and made me see things differently, and a lightbulb just went off in my head.”
