In an interview with The False Finish (via Fightful), Maven said that Batista is his favorite wrestler-turned-actor and explained why he prefers him over The Rock. He noted that Rock couldn’t pull off the performances that Batista has.
He said: “I do. We went and watched, what was it, Knock At The Cabin or whatever movie that he did. To me, he’s the best wrestler turned actor. I don’t see Rock being able to pull that move. [He’s The Rock] every movie. I got sick a couple years ago and it was one of the days I got to spend at home on the couch all day. There were three back-to-back Rock movies, he was the same role in everyone. He played the same guy. Cena’s good, Cena’s actually very funny. Dave can be funny, Dave can be serious, Dave can be menacing, Dave can be sensitive. I think Dave’s a good actor that just so happened to have a wrestling background.“
