5 Biggest threats Vince McMahon received from WWE Superstars

#4 Bret Hart threatens to sue Vince McMahon on the road to WrestleMania 26

On the road to WrestleMania 26 in 2010, Bret Hart kicked off a feud with Vince McMahon and was all set to exact revenge on the WWE Chairman for what happened in Montreal 13 years ago. Hart was involved in a backstage accident that left him with an injured leg. Vince McMahon challenged Hart soon after, to a WrestleMania match, with Stone Cold Steve Austin moderating the segment on RAW.

Vince signed the contract, only for Hart to reveal that his leg was not injured. Bret went on to threaten to sue Vince McMahon if he found a way to back out of the WrestleMania encounter. Vince and Hart battled inside the ring at The Show of Shows, with the Hart family standing at ringside to see Vince get what he rightfully deserved. After a brutal beatdown that lasted around 10 minutes, Hart defeated McMahon to a loud pop from the 70,000+ fans in attendance. After 13 long years, Hart had finally punished Vince for doublecrossing him at Survivor Series 1997.

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.
