I heard he's American. In fact I'm almost sure of it.

That's interesting. I looked him up in Wikipedia and I found this.

Quote:
Batista is of Greek and Filipino heritage. His year of birth was disputed for several years. His website originally listed him as being born in 1969, while several contradictory news reports, as well as the IMDB, had claimed that he was actually born in 1966. In addition, Obsessed with Wrestling claimed for a time that, when Batista re-signed with WWE in January 2005, he revealed that he had been working under a fake age (a common practice in the entertainment field) and admitted that he was actually thirty-nine years old (and would therefore have been born in 1966). [2] However, this claim was later removed. In March 2006, Batista stated in an interview that he was born in 1969. [3], [4]

Batista married second wife Angie, a Filipina [5], in October 1998. Angie is a survivor of ovarian cancer. In the August 2006 edition of WWE magazine Batista (who is on the cover) revealed that he and his wife are currently separated. Batista has two daughters (Kilani, 14) (Athena, 12) and a step daughter from his first marriage.

Batista has numerous tattoos, including a large Chinese dragon on his back, red Kanji lettering on his upper left biceps which says "Angel" in tribute to his wife, a signature design on his upper right biceps, and a small Sun on his stomach which encircles his belly button. He recently added a tattoo on his arm of the flags of the Philippines and Greece merged into one.
Apparently, his father is Filipino and his mother is Greek.

Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat was one of the best 6 footers ever in wrestling.

He's born there but we're discussing his ethnic background/family heritage. Diversify more?
