Zach Gowen Fired
from the main page...

The following statement was just posted on WWE.com:

WWE elected today to end its contractual relationship with Zach Gowen after Zach met with EVP of Talent Relations Jim Ross earlier today. “Zach is only 20 years of age and I would be very surprised if we don’t see him in a WWE ring again some day," Ross said. "We all have great respect for Zach’s passion and wish him nothing but success.”

And shepherds we shall be,
for thee my lord for thee.
Power hath decended forth from thy hand
so our feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
And we shall flow a river forth to thee
and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

I was wondering what happened to him.

IMO he was never going to be a big success, he was good to start with because he is different.

BTW, I agree with the notion that he was only really pushed in the WWE as a sideshow attraction.

I don't approve of it, but it's true.

Yeah, because you can sue for being released from a company. WWE may be clueless when it comes to booking and writing, but they're not stupid when it comes to these things.

True. He had a pretty big push.

If Sean O' Haire or Paul London or Ultimo Dragon had those high profile matches and exposure he had, I'm sure they'd be in a much better spot than they are now.

He can claim discrimination.

He'll get laughed out of court on a meritless suit...

People can sue for any reason...I doubt it'll happen tho.

Not suprised in the least. Before Zach even got signed, he thought he was the best thing in wrestling. Being a one legged 19 year old who got a WWE contract after trainng for a year certainly didn't shrink his ego. His ego was easily his biggest handicap, not his leg. I'm going to an indie show on Sunday, and I'm sure he'll be there, bitching about how unfairly he was treated.

Its not everyday that a person gets a WWE contract; even a short term one. Doing it when you are that young by itself is an accomplisment, let alone doing it for a while with only one leg.

Sure his novelty as a handicapped wrestler may have been one of his major drawing points (if any) but he was still able to hang in there for a while, which is more than any of us can claim.

He could sue, but the fact is that he didn't draw, and they had him in the main event for about a month straight.

Gowen is impressive for who he is, he's a very impressive young man who over came a lot of odds. However, just because he can do a few spots, doesn't mean he is a great worker. TNA was able to cover this up due to the size of their rings, he just doesn't look realistic in the WWE. He was brought in for ratings, he had to know that. He didn't garner the ratings, his attitude was supposedly shitty, he isn't that great of an in ring worker, So in my opinion, congrats to him for living his dream for a few matches, but he shouldn't be involved with the company.

He didn't garner the ratings, his attitude was supposedly shitty, he isn't that great of an in ring worker, So in my opinion, congrats to him for living his dream for a few matches, but he shouldn't be involved with the company.


Pretty well said.

And it's impressive for anyone with 1 leg to be that mobile...But he wasn't that great a wrestler. The continuing entertainment value was pretty low beyond the novelty of how impressive the kid is.

Plus, the Irish Whip thing looked pretty dumb.

I think the WWE did the right thing. Gowen is an amazing story and deserves to return to the WWE some time in the future. He's only 20 ****ing years old. If were to ever come back he'll need to improve his promo ability cause he sucks ass in that category.

And yes there will be a lawsuit

What the hell? He comes into the WWE, puts over Vince, goes over Hardy, gets beaten up by Lesnar, and leaves?

It won't hold any merit of course, however if Gowen is half as bad as reports said then of course he'll try it.

Eh... he would have gotten boring like the hardcore title, so I guess it's the best. If his attitude was indeed selfish, then I don't feel as sympathetic.

True........but in the same vein, most of those same people are realistic in realizing that they couldn't even if they tried. We both know how tough the training is and how hard that kind of life is. We couldn't cut it, let alone hack it.

I understand that Zach isn't a phenom, not by any stretch of the imagination. And just because he is handicapped doesn't mean his ego isn't. He is just as prone to back stage melodrama like the rest of them. But business is business and if he can't cut it - goodbye.......and no hard feelings. What was expected of him is a little unrealistic. I mean, getting put over by Matt Hardy?

All I am saying is that its an impressive accomplishment for a guy like that to make it for a little while - especially since most of us non-handicapped people couldn't if we tried.

I'm 5'9", either 144.25 lbs., or I may have even dropped back to my previous 136 weight, judging by the way my pants fit...and I don't have a single day's worth of athletic experience...

STILL, I refuse to say that, "If I tried, I couldn't ever make it to the WWE."
