Even though he's not the leading man in the movie, former World Heavyweight champion Batista found himself as the top man in marketing materials for the upcoming direct-to-DVD movie Wrong Side Of Town.

Another former champ, Rob Van Dam, had the starring role in the movie with the lead character however even the artwork has Batista - credited as Dave Bautista - with his name larger in the middle and his photo occupying most of the artwork.

The movie is about Van Dam's character Bobby being a former Navy Seal seeking revenge by killing a crooked nightclub owner who attacked his wife.

Batista plays the character of Ronnie, an old friend of Bobby who joins in to help after clearing a falling-out they had years ago.

The movie - to be released later this month - also has Ja Rule and former WWE Superstar Viscera.
