Zach Gowen is grateful for what he was able to accomplish in WWE, but there are some things he wishes were different.
The one-legged wrestler debuted in May 2003, and faced the likes of the Big Show, Brock Lesnar, and Mr. McMahon, before his departure in February 2004.
In an interview with “Steve Fall of WrestlingNewsCo,” Gowen spoke about missing out on the chance to compete at WrestleMania. He said,
“That’s the premiere event in our industry. It would’ve been amazing to have a match at WrestleMania. They brought me in right after WrestleMania, and they fired me right before the next WrestleMania. So my window didn’t line up with WrestleMania.
“I want to make it clear that I have zero regrets in professional wrestling. Like, zero. Wrestling has given me more than I could’ve ever asked for or dreamed up, or even fantasized about when I stepped foot, pardon the pun, in a wrestling ring for the first time at wrestling school.
“Wrestling has given me more than I deserve, so there are absolutely no regrets. But yeah, I certainly do wish I had a WrestleMania moment for sure. I also wish they had made an official action figure of me. That never happened either.”
In the interview, Gowen also spoke about the infamous segment in which he was thrown down a flight of stairs by Brock Lesnar.
