From Bobby Heenan dishing out killer barbs about The Big Boss Man's mother and never seeing the Intercontinental Title ripped from his 'Family', to LayCool taking back the Women's Championship from 'Piggy James', to Roman Reigns calling Samoa Joe a 'fatass' with the same intonation Alexa Bliss used when body-shaming Nia Jax. Before she too took back her Raw Women's Title from the 'Irresistible Force'.

It was Brock Lesnar's turn to be an unrelenting sh*thouse in 2003 after WWE introduced the 'right' one-legged wrestler to the roster first as a friend of Hulk Hogan and later enemy of Vince McMahon.

Despite having toughest performer on the roster Stephanie McMahon on his side, Gowen eventually took kicking after kicking as the company conspired to not harness what could have been the most remarkable sympathy. He became a figure of gallows humour, yet another case of The Chairman using his television product to see just how low he could go.

The answer for Gowen was to the bottom of a stairwell. Brock sent him hurtling down concrete steps in a wheelchair to show McMahon he was emotionally ready to batter Kurt Angle in their upcoming title match. Gowen never got a revenge pin over Brock, Vince or even jobber-to-the-stars Shannon Moore before he was given his hopping papers in 2004.
