#2 Chris Kanyon

Debuting in WCW in the mid-90s, Chris Kanyon was a part of the promotion until it was bought off by WWE in March 2001. His WWE PPV debut came at InVasion 2001, a PPV that featured several matches pitting WWE Superstars against former WCW and ECW stars.

At the event, Kanyon teamed up with Shawn Stasiak and Hugh Morrus and the trio defeated Big Show, Albert, and Billy Gunn. Kanyon soon formed an alliance with DDP and went on to win the Tag Team titles by defeating Faarooq and Bradshaw, The A.P.A.

In late 2001, Kanyon faced Brock Lesnar on three separate occasions. The Beast managed to put Kanyon down in the first two matches, but things didn't work out as he had planned in their final match. Kanyon pinned Lesnar on the October 20, 2001, edition of WWE Live.

Kanyon was released from WWE in early 2004, after not being used on TV for a long time. He tragically passed away on April 2, 2010, leaving behind a note of apology for his family.

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.
