I still vividly remember the time when WWE VHS's used to be played on cable movie channels every Sunday(early 90s in India). And that's where my love for the WWE began. My love and passion for pro wrestling only grew over the years in the form of a mini collection of cards, stickers, tees, action figures and even a WWE Championship belt signed by the 'Big Red Machine' Kane himself (talk about getting lucky). After working in the entertainment industry for over a decade, I am here at ES, as a WWE writer where I have written a variety of articles. Lately, I’ve been covering SmackDown as part of our live WWE coverage, allowing me to keep a close eye on The Bloodline saga, WWE best storyline in years (there I said it!) involving Roman Reigns and his cousins. As a side hustle, I also do standup comedy from time to time.
