WWE legend looks completely unrecognizable with long hair and hulk arms as fans gasp ‘he could have been biggest ever’
A WWE legend turned movie star looks completely unrecognizable in a picture from his early days.
Dave Bautista can now be seen on the big screen, but before his Hollywood films came a profound professional wrestling career.
In a recent post, Bautista is pictured sometime in the 1990s in the midst of his wrestling career.
He has long black wavy hair flowing down to his chest, with massively shredded hulk arms.
The long hair is a stark contrast to the shaved look he currently wears, and Bautista’s arms are a sight to see in themselves.
Fans of the star couldn’t believe it.
One remarked: “Never knew I needed to see this picture until now.”
A second said: “Look at all that hair!”
Another added: “He could’ve been the biggest star of all time.”
With a fourth commenting: “Acknowledge the beast.”
Bautista is a WWE legend.
He won the World Heavyweight Championship and had feuds with other legends, such as Triple H and Edge.
In 2018, Bautista made a second return to the WWE, but that lasted less than a year before deciding he was finished.
Now, the star is exclusively in cinema.
Most famously, the actor has starred in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy as Drax the Destroyer.
This year, Marvel and Bautista finished their third and final Guardians movie.
