• Zach Gowen Steps Into A WWE Ring Again (Photo)
Zach Gowen is the only one-legged wrestler in the history of WWE.
While his run in the company lasted for less than a year, it was still quite memorable as he worked with top names like Hulk Hogan, Brock Lesnar and Mr. McMahon.
Gowen (who will turn 40 in March) attended this Friday’s SmackDown with his kids.
Here’s what he tweeted about it:
“Didn’t expect my first time back in a WWE ring to be with my oldest boys but it was perfect.
Thank you @WWE 🙏”

Back in 2020, Gowen wrote the following about how much he loves Vince McMahon for what he did for him, both professionally & personally:
“I love Vince so much. He put me in a ring with Hulk Hogan, paid for 2 prosthetic legs out of his pocket, paid for the treatment which saved my life/gave me the foundation to live a life that is indescribably wonderful.
I love Vince. I’m gonna give him an uncomfortably long hug next time I see him. I’m gonna be sobbing uncontrollably into his shoulder ruining his suit and he’s gonna say ‘alright pal that’s enough.'”
