Vince's incredible physique
Ever since Vince McMahon met his father at the age of 12, he had always wanted to become a pro-wrestler. He began working out and built up the foundation for the incredible body he boasted on TV several times. But Vince Sr. wasn't thrilled with the idea of his son becoming a pro-wrestler.

He knew that Vince McMahon was going to take over the business at some point of time in the near future, and wanted his son to keep his tradition alive, which included not becoming a part of the in-ring action. Vince Jr. was still allowed by his father to become a commentator in his company, but he kept the tradition alive while Vince Sr. was around. Years after his father's death, Vince McMahon would go on to appear on TV more often, resulting in the birth of one of the greatest heels of all time, Mr. McMahon.

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.
