#2 Is Riddle trying to mimic Brock Lesnar?

One of Brock Lesnar's most noticeable traits is the fact that he doesn't care about anyone, no matter who they are. Barring some rare instances (like when Lesnar almost cried while remembering Mr. Perfect), Brock isn't exactly someone who looks like he would go out of his way and engage in a long chat with a WWE legend. Lesnar has disrespected legends like Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, and Roddy Piper on TV.

Matt Riddle has stated multiple times that he wants to retire Brock Lesnar somewhere down the line. One wonders whether Riddle is simply trying to mimic Lesnar, so that it could come into play sometime in the future if the two Superstars got into a feud. Riddle could throw in a line during one of his promos addressing Lesnar, about him and Brock being so much alike, in regards to not caring about the old stars from the past.

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.
