#1 Kane

Kane is widely regarded as one of the scariest Superstars in the history of WWE. His dark and disturbing presence, plus the fact that he always had a mask on, made for a creepy presentation. Things only turned worse, when Kane was unmasked on an episode of WWE RAW in 2003. He turned into a psychopath who destroyed everything in his path.

Although he was mostly portrayed as an intimidating figure, Kane had his fair share of funny moments.

Back in 2002, Kane joined forces with Hulk Hogan and The Rock to take on the nWo on WWE SmackDown. Before the match, all three babyfaces met in a locker room. Usually known for his disturbingly silent demeanor, Kane had a lot to say to Hogan and The Rock. He cut a hilarious promo and impersonated both of his partners in the process.

All of his lines were met with a loud chorus of cheers from the live audience, and the segment set the stone for a string of future segments that saw Kane perform comedy acts.

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.
