Kurt Angle
Kurt Angle was one of the biggest Superstars in WWE during the Ruthless Aggression Era. Presented occasionally as a goofy act, Angle would complement it with some incredibly fast-paced in-ring action. Angle once had a Q&A session on his official Facebook page, and opened up on a piece of important advice he received from Vince McMahon himself.

Vince McMahon told Angle to enjoy every moment of his career while it lasts, and to not take it seriously.
"Have fun. Don't take it too seriously. Enjoy performing because there will be a day that you won't be able to anymore."
Kurt seems to have done the exact thing, as he always looked pretty comfortable while delivering promos in and out of the ring, and his matches were usually the best of the night. Vince McMahon brought Angle back in 2017 for a well-deserved Hall of Fame induction. Mere days later, Vince McMahon announced Angle as WWE RAW GM, to a loud pop. Angle retired from active competition at WrestleMania 35, after his loss to King Corbin.

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.
