WCW was known among fans as the company that took almost every renowned WWE star of the yesteryears, and featured them heavily on TV. Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, The Ultimate Warrior, Ted Dibiase, Randy Savage, and many others made a name for themselves in WWE in the 80s, and came to WCW in the 90s when WWE had begun looking towards pushing future stars.

For years on end, WCW featured these wrestlers in high-profile PPV main events, all the while wasting the talents of the likes of Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, and several other promising athletes. Most of these young guns soon left for WWE and made a name for themselves over the next few years. AEW has incredible star power in Chris Jericho, Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, and a few others, but it should put its primary focus on stars like MJF, Joey Janela, and Adam Page, so as to build a strong foundation for AEW's future in the industry.

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.
