#1 Haku became a car wash director

Whenever one talks of the most feared and genuinely scary professional wrestlers of all time, Haku's name always comes near the top. Over the course of the past several years, a string of wrestlers have told backstage stories of Haku putting down anyone who came in his way.

Although a usually calm and composed guy, Haku wasn't one to spare someone who tried to act tough with him. He held the WWE Tag Team Titles with Andre The Giant on one occasion during his WWE stint. He also wrestled in WCW as Meng and was the final WCW Hardcore Champion before the promotion was bought off by Vince McMahon in 2001.

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.
