Sharing how he became inspired to become a professional wrestler, Arbab stated, ” I remember I was six or seven and my father used to bring home wrestling cassettes to play on the video recorder telling us about wrestling as a sport. I loved wrestling and tried moves on my brothers, breaking beds at home and got beaten by my father as well. But nothing stopped my passion.”

“However I did realize that wrestling didn’t have a scope in Pakistan and no representation whatsoever. And I was disheartened. Finally in 2017 I found out about PWFP which was ROS at that time. I contacted them through Facebook and the rest is history,” Arbab shared further.

Talking about his feelings after being awarded the first hardcore wrestler in Pakistan, Arbab shared, “Its like a dream come true. I feel so proud of having won the Royal Rumble and that too Pakistan. I’ve made history and it has been really emotional for me. That was the best moment of my life so far, being in the ring and surrounded by the entire team who made it happen for all of us.”
