The Rock
Back in late 2017, Vince McMahon took to Twitter and heaped praise on WWE veteran The Rock. He dubbed The Rock the most entertaining guy on the planet. The Great One noticed Vince McMahon's tweet, and decided to take a stroll down memory lane. The Rock sent out a tweet of his own and revealed that he first shook hands with Vince McMahon when he was an 11-year old kid.

The Rock also revealed that when he was 25, Vince McMahon offered him the bare minimum contract and stated that he'll earn every dollar in WWE. The Rock then finished off the tweet by saying that Vince McMahon is one of his greatest advisors and mentors to this day.
The Rock made his way to WWE in the mid-90s, and soon became one of the most entertaining Superstars in the company. The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin's rivalry was a major reason why WWE beat WCW in the ratings war. Vince McMahon has nothing but respect for The Rock, who is a sure-fire future Hall of Famer.

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.
