WWE Batista Walk of Fame Star



Details:
WWE's Batista Walk of Fame Star this was given to me by the Araneta Colisseum (Araneta Center) Management after Dave Batista's (Fil-Greek wrestler) WWE Homecoming Tour here in Manila, Philippines last October 2006. It's Existence is only 1 in the whole world, a definite surefire WWE Memorabilia.

World Wrestling Entertainment's WWE Smackdown Survivor Series Tour were held in the Philippines Oct.21-22, 2006 at the Araneta Coliseum.

It was "the happening" event and people from all walks of life came in throngs. Dave "The Animal" Batista who is of Philippine descent was awarded by the Araneta Colliseum with a star ala Walk of Fame.

Dave Batista was part of the elite Starwalk Club but unfortunately w/ the Goodness graces of Araneta Center they gave me Batista's Autograph Starwalk as a complimentary gift.

Excerpt from Araneta Center's Press Release:
The StarWalk is the Philippines version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Hong Kong Avenue of Stars. Plans are being finalized to set up a museum that will feature memorabilia from other performers and events that have made a special impression at the Big Dome.

Among the other prominent names included at The Araneta Coliseum's Historic StarWalk are: Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier; Pope John Paul II; Nat King Cole; The Everly Brothers; The Lettermen; Santana; Dave Clark Five; Patti Page; Neil Sedaka; WWE Fil-Greek Superstar Dave Batista; Julio Iglesias; Burt Bacharach; NBA Star's Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, Elgin Baylor & Ervin "Magic" Johnson; Johnny Mathis; Thalia; Andy Williams; Rod Stewart, Ricky Martin and Menudo; Matt Monro; the Harlem Globetrotters; Pat Boone; Paul Anka; Bobby Fisher; Manhattan Transfer; Eric Clapton; The Platters; Follies Bergere; Mandy Moore; David Gates; Pilita Corrales; Sharon Cuneta; Martin Nievera; Gabriel "Flash" Elorde; Gary Valenciano; The Searchers; and many others.

The creation of the StarWalk manifests the unwavering reputation of the Araneta Coliseum as the pioneering stalwart in Philippine sports and entertainment. Through the years, it has evolved from a mere amusement venue into a landmark and a socio-cultural icon, Through the years, it has evolved from a mere amusement venue into a landmark and a socio-cultural icon.
