ZACH GOWEN
Zach Gowen, (born on March 30, 1983 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American professional wrestler. Gowen has competed for all four of the top US promotions: World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on their SmackDown! brand, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), Ring of Honor (ROH), and AWA Wrestling Supertsars.
Gowen was diagnosed with cancer as a child. Because of that, he lost his leg at the age of 8. It was a necessary move according to his doctors and parents. Had the amputation not been done, Zach would have died. Gowen walks with prosthesis and he can wrestle with or without it. However, he wrestles most of his matches without it due to the uniqueness of seeing a one-legged wrestler compete. Known for his high-flying ability as well as his "one-legged" moonsault, Gowen was a fan favorite simply for the spectacle.
Gowen was determined to become a wrestler since he was a young child, and he spent a good portion of his teenage years training towards that goal. On March 16, 2002, he finally achieved his dream, when he debuted in the Independent Wrestling Revolution, losing to Truth Martini. On April 26, 2002 , he earned his first win, over Almighty Ray. He made his WWE debut on the May 15, 2003 edition of SmackDown! as a planted fan in the audience. That night he came to the rescue of none other than Hulk Hogan in his battle with Roddy Piper.
Gowen had some outstanding matches over the next few years with such super-talents as: The Big Show, Matt Hardy, Brock Lesner, and even Vince McMahon himself. In 2003, Zach was named rookie-of-the-year and most inspirational wrestler by the industry’s bible, Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Zach moved out of the WWE in 2004 and has been wrestling in TNA, ROH, AWA, and other organizations over the past fews years all over the country.
