An Unforeseen Confluence of Disparate Interests

Dave Batista is one of the judges on tonight's episode of Iron Chef America. They're serving him snails.

Of wrestlers, Batista wouldn't have been my first choice to judge. Although he is generally solid in his wrestling promos, he doesn't have the most engaging style in off-the-cuff interviews. He tends to speak in a quiet monotone, as if he's somewhat shy or unsure of himself. I thought he did all right, all things considered. He had one good line when Chef Bobby Flay served a snail pizza, saying (paraphrasing from memory), "I was so excited when I saw you making pizza, it's the only dish I recognized."
