The Hulkster revealed that he watched Dusty Rhodes growing up and one thing that he learned from watching the late Hall of Famer was how amazingly he used to sell his opponents' moves. According to Hogan, a chop to the throat would result in Rhodes falling down "like a tub of s**t". Hogan added that he always wanted to sell like Dusty, but in terms of looks, he preferred 'Superstar' Billy Graham.
Hogan shared an interesting tidbit from more than a decade ago when Monday Night Raw celebrated its 15th anniversary. Hogan was seen saving Hornswoggle from The Great Khali in a segment.
A backstage incident from the same night saw Hogan getting heat because he forgot to say 'hello' to CM Punk. Hogan explained that he wasn't okay in the head at the time, his whole life was falling apart, and that he didn't remember seeing, meeting, or disrespecting anyone that night.

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.
