#3 The Undertaker (homegrown)

After a forgettable stint in WCW as 'Mean Mark' Callus, Mark Calaway signed a contract with WWE in 1990 and first appeared at Survivor Series that same year. Initially a heel, The Undertaker soon became one of the hottest acts on WWE TV and his popularity led to him defeating Hulk Hogan for the WWE title at Survivor Series 1991. Three decades later, The Undertaker is still affiliated with WWE and Vince McMahon has stated on many occasions how much Mark Calaway means to him as a person.

The Deadman's legendary WrestleMania winning streak was one of the biggest USPs of the show at one time. He reinvented his character and donned the biker persona in 2000, ditching it in late 2003. The Undertaker has won 7 World titles during his WWE run. He has only been defeated twice at a WrestleMania. At one point in "Undertaker: The Last Ride" documentary, Vince McMahon almost broke into tears when asked what The Undertaker means to him, and refused to answer the question.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
