Batista was asked what his favorite match of his career was. He says that it was his Wrestlemania match against the Undertaker (at Wrestlemania 23)
“Taker. For sure, Taker. Yeah, he still had the streak then, but it was just I felt like that [was] when really I had come into my own. I don’t feel like anybody carried me through that match. My first main event with Hunter, Hunter totally carried me through the match. I wasn’t ready to carry a WrestleMania back then. Huge, huge. But I have to give all the credit to Hunter, the way he built the story, the way he built the match, put me over, putting the title on me. It was all him.”
He continued:
“I really felt like I had come into my own. I didn’t feel like anybody carried me through that match. That was really, I think, a personal statement for me because I thought for a lot of reasons we deserved to be the main event at that WrestleMania.”
