Wow. This is a funny one, fellow Reel Wrestlers! While some LA paps are trying to discreetly shoot video and stills from their car, they get nailed by one of Dave’s lady friends he’s eating with. She’s cool with it and even invites them over to take some shots after lunch.  When he finishes his meal, Dave tries to entice the pap over to get a picture of the "caterpillar" on his forehead.  But the main videographer is understandably very reluctant to approach and even tries to get in Dave’s good graces by assuring him he is a big fan. The joke is on our pap who gets the "you know what" scared out of him when Dave jumps out at him! Very funny! Marrese Crump and the others were practically on the ground laughing!

Enjoy this video and get some funny insights from the World WWE Champion Batista about his future plans and when/where his "thumb ends up his butt" which is a reference to his last TMZ video posted on their site. If you haven’t seen that video, check it out here: http://www.tmz.com/2010/03/11/batista-wwe-wrestling-move-video  Batista is a genuinely nice guy who greets his fans. He also tells pap #2 he’s got NO CHANCE OF EVER LOOKING LIKE THE ANIMAL!!!

Batista ends the interview as he heads back to his INSANE blacked out G55 rimmed and tinted up Mercedes Wagon, telling us that his desired super power would be to have a 10-inch thumb. And right before he gets into the car and takes off, he lets us get a sneak peak of what "THUMBS UP" really means!  LOL

Welcome back to Reel Wrestling!

With his imposing size and that menacing gash on his forehead, it’s no wonder our paps were a little leery to approach Batista at an LA gym and outdoor cafe this week. Dave enjoyed a workout and lunch with a mystery female wrestler and his longtime buddy/personal trainer and martial arts expert, Marrese Crump, the day after his match on March 15, 2010 against Kofi Kingston. During that match, Batista took a knee to the face, resulting in a deep and bloody gash. But he looks happy and on the mend less than 24 hours later and even summons over our reluctant photographer to jokingly "grab" him before showing off those awesome tatoos on his left arm. Enjoy these exclusive ReelWrestling photos just days before WrestleMania XXVI... but the best is yet to come...

STAY TUNED FOR VIDEO FOOTAGE OF BATISTA TAKEN THE VERY SAME DAY!

CLICK THE GALLERY BELOW FOR MORE:

Back in August of 2008 REEL WRESTLING cameras caught up with then couple Kelly Kelly and Dave Batista out on a date.

However, before posting this video we tried to contact Mr. Batista’s manager. He called us back a few days later with the following quote from Dave. "Barbie and I went out on a few dates, nothing real serious. The only woman I’ve had a relationship with and loved besides my ex-wife in the last 10 years is Melina, who I still love even though we are not together."

Dave and Barbie attending a matinee showing of Legally Blonde before they performed at a Madison Square Garden house show. We hope they enjoyed one of the nicest days of the year in New York City / Manhattan.

Dave introduces us to his trainer Marrese Crump who is based out of Florida. We did the research on Marrese and determined he’s a very skilled individual. Viewers beware!

Pop-of-the-NIGHT award goes to Dave "Batista" as he arrives for the most recent House Show at Madison Square Garden.
