Widely regarded as being the best pure athlete in WWE history, as well as the greatest WWE Superstars of all time, The Undertaker was a bland character back in WCW, during the early 90s. His Mean Mark character in World Championship Wrestling didn't do his career any favours.
When Mark Calaway moved to WWE, he was repackaged as The Undertaker, a mysterious and spooky character who preferred to let his punches do the job instead of running his mouth. He debuted at Survivor Series 1990, as a part of Ted Dibiase's dream team.

Today, The Undertaker is a future first-ballot Hall of Famer who has done it all in the wrestling world. He has won 24 matches at The Show of Shows and has won multiple World Championships. If it hadn't been for the gimmick change, The Undertaker would never have become a living legend.

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.
