5 times Vince McMahon proved that he is an excellent babyface

#2 Vince leads WWE in a battle against The Alliance

Before WrestleMania 17, Shane McMahon revealed that he was the owner of WCW, the rival promotion that Vince McMahon had recently bought off. The fans cheered heavily for Shane at the time, but things took a turn soon after. When WCW and ECW allied to take down WWE, Vince McMahon relied on a bunch of WWE Superstars to prevent the company from going down.

Over the next few months, Vince steadily turned into a babyface for his attempts to save the company that fans had grown to love over the years. By Survivor Series 2001, fans were rooting for Vince's WWE to defeat The Alliance in a Traditional Survivor Series match. Vince's inspiring speech soon before the eventual match only helped matters for him, when it came to fan support. In the end, The Rock pinned Stone Cold to win the match for WWE, and Vince McMahon came out on the ramp with his hands raised in victory. Soon after the win, McMahon turned heel again and kicked off a feud with a returning Ric Flair.

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.
