#1 The Undertaker

The Undertaker has had a 30-year career in WWE

Before he became The Undertaker in WWE, Mark Calaway was a generic big guy in WCW and went by the moniker of "Mean" Mark Callous. Vince McMahon didn't show interest in him initially and watched a bunch of his WCW matches before deciding to have a meeting with him. It was Bruce Prichard who convinced Vince to have a talk with Mark Calaway.

Prichard revealed that when Vince met Calaway, he loved his personality and wanted to sign him immediately.

Soon after, Calaway was given the gimmick of The Undertaker. He made his debut at WWE Survivor Series 1990 and quickly established himself as a top heel. Over the next three decades, The Undertaker turned into one of the biggest Superstars in the history of professional wrestling. He boasted a legendary WrestleMania undefeated streak with 21 consecutive victories at the event, which was broken by Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30.

The Undertaker has won numerous World titles during his WWE stint and is one of the most respected veterans in the industry.

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.
