Brock Lesnar
This incident happened a short while before Brock Lesnar joined WWE's main roster in the spring of 2002. Jim Cornette was the booker of Ohio Valley Wrestling at the time, and Lesnar was honing his craft alongside several young guns in developmental. At one point, Lesnar was told by Cornette's girlfriend Stacy, to press-slam her with ease, so as not to hurt her. The Beast didn't care though, and slammed her hard on the mat during a match.
Brock Lesnar was miles away from being a responsible WWE employee, at the time
Brock Lesnar's irresponsible behavior, and the fact that he cursed at Stacy after she bashed him for his recklessness, was the tipping point for Cornette. Here's what Jim Cornette had to say to Brock Lesnar, after he cursed at his girlfriend:
"Look moth******er, you need to know this now. Don’t say f**k you to her in front of me because I won’t fight you, I will shoot you."

Things calmed down after Cornette's threat to Lesnar. Brock Lesnar would make his way to the main roster immediately after WWE WrestleMania 18, and the rest, as they say, is history.

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.
