I miss Sean O'Haire. Dude had so much going on for him: great look, moved like a cruiserweight, legit shoot background, and was young so he had an entire career ahead of him. Too bad booking was too focused on giving him a gimmick instead of just letting him simply kick ass which in his case would have worked for him.

Well it depends on the situation +MrRoMaGi if he entered the ring with his foot and his fake leg he could easily take it off, toss it under the bottom rope. That way, for him to be eliminated, they would have to toss the fake leg back into the ring and over the top to eliminate him. Some people may actually forget about it, which honestly with the complexity of that booking, is probably why he never was in a rumble to begin with.

When you get punished for something someone else said and for being.The story of Sean O'Haire. Vince wasted his talent. He deserved at least a mid card title push. I mean he beat Benoit, Mr.Kenndy, Hulk Hogan, Eddie Guerrero, Lex Luger (in WCW), Bobby Roode, and Rikishi and he was pretty good on the mic as proven by his Devil's advocate . I think he was doing moves that would have gotten him more over now than back then. R.I.P another wasted WCW talent.

I really love the way Piper and O'Haire just "Nope" there way out of the ring after ripping off the prosthetic leg.

I know Vince's character was always a evil man, but the 2003 version was literally Satan. He picked on a one legged guy, blatantly cheated on his wife, congratulated Kane for TOMB-STONING LINDA ON THE STAGE, then beat the fuck out of his daughter and fired her.

Oh hey I remember this guy! I thought Zach Gowen was the coolest when I was a kid. I was honestly impressed that he could do so many things in the ring despite having one leg and I really admired how he had made it into the WWE. Super inspirational stuff ya know? But kid me didn't really pay attention to the story and angle or well... everything that happened because kid me was too busy looking up to the guy. I'm just glad someone talked about him. Thank you.

It would have been interesting to have seen Zach Gowen in a Royal Rumble.. He could have used a loophole to the "Both Feet much touch the Floor" Rule :P

the bad pun jar was terrific. just the throwing of loose change at it. that was great.

"His run was...bad." I get it, but so many more positives than negatives here. A 20 year old kid with one leg got to share the ring with Hulk Hogan, Vince McMahon, Brock Lesnar, Roddy Piper...that's a dream come true for most anyone. Also bet it gave a lot of hope to a lot of people to pursue their dreams no matter what life throws at them. Overall, Zach Gowan in WWE was awesome!

I actually got to meet Zach Gowen during Lucha wrestling show this year on Cinco De Mayo in Detroit at first i didn’t know it was Zach Gowen because he was wearing face paint but after he got on the mic and told everyone who he used to be I was in shock because I remembered watching his match with Matt Hardy at No Mercy and I had stage seats so when he left the ring I got up right away and gave him a hug and after words we met after the show he signed my world heavyweight championship belt replica and took a picture together and he was an all around nice guy. I get why some people weren’t big on the idea of him becoming a wrestler but he made WWE history by becoming their first ever one legged and it was an honor to meet him.

Imagine if piper pulled off gowans other leg....

Saw him at Hard Justice 2005 (as my friend keeps calling it "The pay per view that sounds like either a Steven Seagal movie or a porno, or both"), and yeah, it was fun watching him go. But I totally get the reason why he didn't go forward in WWE.

Glad he managed to recover from his addiction and depression issues, and cool to see he's still active and trying to help others. All I really remembered from his WWE run was the time he wrestled Vince and busted him open with a chair, and the nasty beatings he took from Brock. Really surprised WWE didn't go with that first guy they mistakenly hired though, looks like he'd fit in WAY easier than Zach did.
