Dave Bautista spoke on his excitement ahead of the 2023 Olympia.
There is an Honorary Ambassador chosen each year heading into the 2023 Olympia competition. This person is expected to bring new attention and attraction to the biggest show of the year. This year, former WWE superstar and Marvel movie star Dave Bautista will take on this job as honorary ambassador.
Bautista has had a passion for fitness since early in his life. He used the gym to get through difficult parts of his life and wanted to one day create a career in fitness. This was thought to come in the form of bodybuilding but he eventually gave up on that goal but remained in sports entertainment.
Bautista became extremely successful in the WWE during his time. In 2019, Bautista squared off with Triple H at WrestleMania 35 before calling it a career. He was a four-time World Heavyweight Champion and two-time WWE Champion.
This is when Dave Bautista decided to focus on acting full time. He has been featured in many films, including Guardians of the Galaxy and Army of the Dead.Â
