I beat him in the middle of the ring, 1, 2, 3. That moment, in front of 55,000 people, you can actually see me... when you watch it back. I'm sitting up, and I sit next to him, and he's laying there in front of everybody. And I whispered to him, 'I thank you so much for everything that you've done for me. And, I said 'I love you.' He said 'I love you too.' I hit him on the chest and I left, left him in the ring. That was it, he retired that night.

WrestleMania 19 saw The Rock and Stone Cold squaring off for the third time at The Show of Shows. The Rock had vowed to defeat Austin at The Grandest Stage Of Them All, after failing to do so on two separate occasions. It took three Rock Bottoms to get the job done, but The Great One finally beat Austin at WrestleMania.
The Rattlesnake's neck injury made sure that he wouldn't be returning as an active performer, though Austin went on to make several appearances for the company over the course of the next 17 years.

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.
