Smith, one of the biggest stars in WWE history, is yet to get inducted into the Hall of Fame. He was brought to the WWE alongside Dynamite Kid, Bret Hart, and Jim Neidhart in 1984, following WWE's purchase of Stampede Wrestling. Kid and Smith soon found success in the tag team division, and won the WWE Tag Team titles at WrestleMania 2 by defeating the Dream Team, consisting of Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake.

Both Kid and Smith left the promotion in 1988, following backstage issues between the duo and the Rougeau Brothers. Smith returned to WWE in 1990, and soon bagged a major fanbase in the United Kingdom. At SummerSlam 1992, Smith and Bret Hart competed in the main event in front of 80,355 fans in Wembley Stadium in London, with Smith winning the Intercontinental title in the end. He passed away on May 18, 2002, due to a heart attack.

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.
