Mike Halac wrestled some of the biggest names in the business during his heyday. Some of the stars that he collided with during his WWE run were Bret Hart, Bam Bam Bigelow, and Bob Holly. On June 30, 1997, he participated in a Six-Man Tag Team match alongside Recon and The Interrogator. The trio won the contest, which was also the last WWE bout for the legend.
Halac's ECW run lasted for one month. In December 1995, he wrestled four matches for ECW before parting ways with the promotion. Halac's WCW run also didn't last long and consisted of a single appearance. On September 22, 1997, he defeated Damian 666 in a dark match on an episode of Monday Nitro.

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.
