Former WWE Superstar Rene Dupree recently revealed Brock Lesnar smashing one-legged wrestler, Zach Gowen. Rene stated it was a part of Vince McMahon’s punishment to Zach Gowen. In 2003, Brock Lesnar looked to re-establish himself as a monster heel on the blue brand. However, Mr. McMahon put Brock Lesnar and Gowen in an intensively violent match on SmackDown.

As a result, The Beast was unleashed, and he destroyed the one-legged wrestler. Notably, Zach Gowen was signed by the WWE in 2003 as a teenage wrestler.

Rene Dupree mentioned, “You believe nothing what you hear, but what I heard is that he [Zach Gowen] was caught smoking cigarettes, right? If you’ve ever been backstage at the WWF show, Vince has no smoking signs all over the building.” 

The former WWE Superstar also mentioned that only Blackjack Lanza and Pat Patterson could smoke. However, WWE Owner Vince McMahon may have caught the teenage Zach Gowen smoking behind the scene, so he punished him at the hands of Brock Lesnar. “Remember that segment where Brock bashes his f**king brains in with that steel chair in front of his mother? That was punishment right there,” Dupree added.

Even The Big Red Monster was shown no mercy?

The host of Cafe De Rene also cited an example of Mr. McMahon’s form of punishment on The Big Red Monster. Glenn Jacobs, aka Kane, also suffered the fate of penalty at the hands of Mr. McMahon’s son when he expressed his frustration at John Laurinaitis in 2003.

“I remember Kane voicing his opinions backstage. Like being frustrated talking to Johnny Ace,” Rene said. But, he also added, “Glen [Kane] would come back with these f**king kendo stick marks. Just bruised every single night.”
