Indy Mayhem Show 13: Zach Gowen

Former WWE superstar and current professional wrestler Zach Gowen joined us on the Wrestling Mayhem Show to share some of his amazing story!

• Gowen, who lost his leg at a young age from cancer, fought his way to become a major star in the WWE.
• During our conversation, Gowen discussed his life post WWE; how he lost his identity and went down a dark path and how he found his way back, got clean and found meaning in life.
• Gowen also talked about a possible new era for professional wrestlers; as some are now bucking the trend and beating some of the addictions that plagued and eventually killed many before them.
• Viewers of the show then asked Gowen questions like: what his favorite match was and who his favorite opponents were.
• These questions lead to Gowen discussing the viciousness of professional wrestling when he started, to what it is now.
• Gowen then talked about his interesting relationship with fellow professional wrestler Gregory Iron. Iron, a professional wrestler with cerebral palsy; used Gowen as inspiration to become a professional wrestler and clean up his own life.
