#2 Marc Mero and Sable

Marc Mero was an active competitor in WCW during the first half of the 90s. He went by the name "Johnny B. Badd" during this run. Following his WCW exit, Mero signed a deal with WWE and debuted as a babyface. He soon adopted the moniker of 'Wildman', and his wife Sable began accompanying him to the ring, as his manager. In 1997, Mero suffered an injury that kept him out of action for six months. He returned in October and slowly began turning heel due to his jealousy towards Sable, who had become quite popular among the WWE Universe during his hiatus from the ring.

The rivalry culminated in an Intergender match at Over The Edge 1998, where Mero defeated Sable, leading to her temporary exit. By 1999, both Sable and Mero had left WWE. The duo had gotten married in 1994, around two years before Mero's move to WWE. Soon after their separation in mid-2003, they got divorced. Sable later tied the knot with WWE veteran Brock Lesnar.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. 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.
