Batista Speaks on Finlay’s WWE Release, Gives Melina Advice

June 28, 2011

Batista Earlier today, former WWE star Dave "Batista" Bautista posted the following on Twitter concerning the WWE release of Dave Finlay earlier this year:

"So I’m going to say this because I said I would elaborate later….and I’m sure I’ll get some grief over it but I don’t realy care. and this is completely the opinion of an outsider looking in.

I only know what I’ve been told about Fit Finlay’s release and I dont know exactly what happened…but no one in this world could convince me that Fit, the honorable man that he is, did anything that would warrant him losing his livelihood. I wouldn’t have made it to the top without fit, and I wouldn’t have made it through alot of the longass unbearable tours either.

I seriously think that there’s a huge void in the WWE without him. He isn’t replaceable."

Batista also offered WWE Diva Melina the following advice on Twitter: "beautiful, talented, hope she gets out of wrestling asap."
