Another moment that longtime fans remember from the WWE Draft Lottery in 2004 was when Paul Heyman quit on the spot when he learned that he was going to be serving Eric Bischoff. Heyman couldn't stand the smirk on Eric Bischoff's face when Bischoff saw the name on the card. He screamed at Bischoff to reveal the name, and watched in terror as the Raw GM uttered the words: "Paul Heyman"!

As the SmackDown locker room celebrated Heyman's draft, the former SmackDown GM made it clear that he wasn't going to go ahead with this. Heyman looked at Bischoff's face, and quit on the spot after hurling profanities on his longtime nemesis. Heyman came back to SmackDown, where he managed The Dudley Boyz for a short period of time. He later became the head booker of OVW, where his friendship with CM Punk was formed.

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.
