The Gears fandom on Twitter has been overwhelmingly positive, urging Netflix not to waste Bautista's opportunity.

Bautista wants it, and fans want it, so what's stopping the platfrom?.

Ice T, Who also wants Bautista to be cast, is willing to follow a strict fitness regimen.

Netflix would be foolish to ignore this. Bautista made them hire him, so they should.
