Originally posted by ges7184I don't have any problem with Gowen losing, because quite frankly I look at him and see jobber. The best thing you can say about him is that he is good for a guy on one leg. But that's all, because from what he has shown so far, he's not really that good. I'm not sure you deserve a push just because you have one leg. Sure, the cancer thing shows he is tough, mentally. But physically, I'm pretty sure that even I could kick his ass.
At this point, I'm not really sure why they signed him in the first place. He is a novelty, but once you've seen him, you've seen him. So unless he still is holding back (because even the moveset he has broken out hasn't been performed that crisply IMHO), I just don't get it.
I agree, maybe the idea was to attract some mainstream publicity, but beyond that what was the point? I mean, he doesn't have the physique, his moveset is extremely limited, and if he gets a win over anyone with no interference, what does that say about the opponent? Just like JR used to say, "Ain't no hope for a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest."

Wrestling is not a real sport. Whether or not Zach can realistically beat someone has little to do with it. With Zach's skill, it's possible for him to pull off some wins in a similar fashion to the 1-2-3 Kid in his early days. Zach shouldn't beat all of his opponents, but he shouldn't be a total loser, either.
Maybe Zach shouldn't be beating Nunzio or some of these other guys, but since he didn't win the feud with Vince McMahon (yes, he got the contract, but proved himself unworthy as an actual competitor), he should get something. He's a joke now and I don't see anywhere they can go withhim now.
How does it look when Zach beats his opponents? Hell, how does it look when his opponents beat Zach? It works both ways, except Zach outwrestling his opponents despite his handicap tells a better in-ring story. It doesn't get heat on the heels, since Vince pretty much took all of the heat from that in Zach's first feud. Now, every other guy who beats Zach is getting Vince's leftovers. It doesn't have nearly the same effect the second or third time around.
I wonder......if Lesnar is turning heel, could that turn Big Show into a face? He certainly can't be pleased about his chief rival aligning himself with Vince.

That's my point, it is a lose-lose situation. Not sure exactly what, if anything they can do with him.
