Sept8-06 .This is the date for the Filipino wrestling fans have been waiting for, to see the Fil-Greek WWE Superstar Batista(real name: David Michael Bautista) for the hype of the World Wrestling Entertainment Smackdown Survivor Series Live Tour on October 21 and 22 .This is a meet and greet opportunity for the local mat fans where they can have some photo ops and autographs signed as well.
As early as 9 in the morning aficionados flocked the SM Mall of Asia (probably Asia’s biggest mall) the event was scheduled at 2:30pmand only the first 100 fans are allowed to have their items signed. Bringing their wrestling memorabilia’s like magazines, t-shirts, dvd’s, posters, action figures, and even the actual replica of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt which was won by Batista last year at Wrestlemania.At around 12pm, multitude of people started to swell and packed the mall’s music hall. Energy level started to fill-up at around 2pm as thousands awaits the arrival of the 6’5” 290lbs grappler.
The moment comes at exactly 3:06pm the theme music “Walk Alone” exploded to the crowd’s delight, as Batista (with a lot of securities of course) entered the venue. You can feel the energy and adrenaline rush as the superstar walks around to greet the fans. Up on the stage Batista greeted the fans saying “you are my people” and displaying his famous tattoo of Philippine and Greek flag on his left shoulder blade and it looks like in a pleasant mood and very soft spoken for a guy with that kind of frame and status.People of all ages fell in line for their photo ops and autographs and having the “WWE Experience”.
My friends and fellow wrestling freaks were having a blast as we took pictures and having our items signed by Batista .The electrifying experience was truly awesome even though we’ve waited for 6 grueling hours. It’s worth the wait and we’re even been interviewed by JackTV (a local cable channel).
