Hulk Hogan
At Survivor Series 1991, Hulk Hogan battled The Undertaker, with the WWE title on the line. The ending to the match saw Ric Flair interfering and costing Hogan the title, resulting in a rematch being immediately signed for the This Tuesday in Texas PPV, emanating from the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas.
This time, Hogan managed to pin The Deadman by blinding him after throwing a handful of ash from Paul Bearer's urn. This was the second chaotic finish in a row, and President Jack Tunney wasn't thrilled one bit. He vacated the title and put it up for grabs in the Royal Rumble Match, which was won by Ric Flair.

In October 1995, Shawn Michaels got into a fight outside a bar in Syracuse, New York. Michaels ended up being on the receiving end of an assault and suffered injuries as a result of the same. This forced Michaels to forfeit his Intercontinental title to the opponent he was scheduled to face, Dean Douglas, at In Your House: Great White North.

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.
