Batista says ‘Eddie’s Dead’

Batista and Rey Mysterio were both friends and foes within the WWE storyline.

Batista has been both loved and loathed in the WWE, both for his decisions and his abilities. But on Oct. 30, 2009, he found a new way to get a reaction out of the crowd, and it wasn’t a positive one.

At the time, he was at odds with former friend Rey Mysterio. Both men were friends with the late Eddie Guerrero, which prompted Mysterio to bring Guerrero up as part of an appeal to Batista. The Animal responded by saying, “Eddie’s dead.”

Now the context and the way Batista said that phrase a little bit more palatable than some other similar cases on this list, but it was still not a well-received decision.
