Although he was one of the most controversial WWE Superstars of all time, Warrior was as good as a guy could get when it came to in-ring action and storylines. Warrior was seen as a replacement for Hogan and went on to defeat him in the main event of WrestleMania 6 in one of the biggest matches in the show's history.

Warrior soon left the company due to backstage differences with Vince McMahon. He came back for another short run and defeated Triple H at WrestleMania 12 in 1996 in a complete squash. Warrior's colorful persona became a huge hit with kids as well as adults at the time, and it made sure that he would never be turned heel.

The fact that Warrior's return during Wrestlemania 12 attracted more fans than Shawn Michaels' Iron Man match against Bret Hart is a testimony to his connection with the WWE universe.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra.

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.
