10 Things That Made Brock Lesnar "The Beast"

7. Demolishing Zack Gowen

Brock Lesnar Zach Gowen Zack Gowen was the living definition of inspiration and determination: a one-legged wrestler with dreams to make it big in the land of giants known as the WWE. He was small, skinny, and had to deal with one of his legs being taken from him by crafty opponents. Either way, his was a real €˜feel-good story€™ about a kid and his dreams. So leave it to the WWE to completely shatter that dream. Zack Gowen had a match against Brock Lesnar, in which the Beast truly earned that nickname. It wasn€™t a match, really; it was more a one-sided beating by a monster of a man against a much smaller man who literally could not stand on both feet. Lesnar pummeled Gowen throughout the match, F-5ed his other leg into the ring post and left him a bloody heap€and all of this was done in front of his mother, who pleaded for mercy. But her pleas fell on deaf ears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqLHZi8GzDU It takes a special kind of monster to completely demolish a long-legged man in front of his own mother. Brock Lesnar showed no remorse or empathy, establishing himself as more €˜Beast€™ than man. Though it was an obviously one-sided contest, this match showed just how remorseless Brock Lesnar could be.
