Zach Gowen – ‘Brock Lesnar Match Is One Of The Most Violent In WWE History’

Zach Gowen is sure that his match with Brock Lesnar in 2003 ranks up there as one of the most violent encounters in the history of WWE.

The match in Gowen’s home state of Michigan saw the one-legged Superstar be demolished by Brock with part of the beatdown taking place in front of Gowen’s mother at ringside.

During a recent episode of “The False Finish,” Gowen reflected on the beatdown he received at the hands of the Beast Incarnate. He said,

“As I get there [to ‘SmackDown’], they tell me the idea of me and Brock, which I’m really ecstatic about because I’m like, ‘I know we can do something really, really special here, I know it.’ All the pieces are there, and we put the match together and it’s one of the most violent matches in WWE history.

“It was only five, six minutes long. They needed Brock to be hated, and creative thought to themselves, ‘How can we get Brock [hated]?’ Like you said, beat up the local kid with one leg in front of his mom, bloody mess. 

“That was the first time I ever [bladed] in my life was on ‘SmackDown,’ which is why it’s a lot. It wasn’t supposed to be that much, but I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. Again, not something you’ll ever see WWE do again.”

Last month, Gowen commented on working with Brock and made it clear that a rematch with the former WWE Champion isn’t on his agenda.
