So how did this wrestler turned actor become one of the best

by being himself, he's always been charismatic

By the average cape movie fan having the IQ of a roasted potato and thinking the humor in these movies is actually good

He was serious about the part and took extra acting lessons once he learned he got the part.

He shouldn't have won the Royal Rumble. That was complete bullshit.

The part was written to fit the actor.

The lack of a dramatic angle in this movie (like Drax had in his confrontation with Ronan on Knowhere) and reuse of the loud laughing gag was essentially done to fit Bautista.

Ironically it was the increased jokes and decreased drama that he (initially) disliked about the GotG Vol. 2 script.

He works as a good foil to the other personalities by being so blunt and obvious about everything.

I think GOTG2 used it just enough, though, because his "I AM POINTING OUT THE JOKE" bit could get tired if overused.

I'm not a big wrestling guy, but I caught him in a few events, and the dude was just tall with an intense stare. He had almost no charisma.

This. The man seems to earnestly care and want to do his best. He's not bringing any ego into it. He knows he came from a profession where he didn't have the skills he needed, so he worked at it. Seems to have worked.

The real test will be Bladerunner of all things. I'm sure whatever roll he has in that will be different enough from Drax so we can tell if he has actually learned to act, or if he just lucked out that Drax fit whatever limited range he developed.

I did like how subtly they played the idea that his blunt and totally wrong observations were actually a hidden truth thing.
