    It's a shame his wrestling career didn't work out. It may have limited him in the ring but I thought a one legged wrestler was cool and really inspirational

      I still think not having him win the royal rumble due to technicality was a massive missed opportunity by them. They could've used the whole "both feet must touch the floor" rule to the extreme by having him impossible to eliminate, make it seem as though someone like batista/cena won the rumble, only for them to go over the top rope in a random SD/raw match and him come out/say "your winner of the 2004 royal rumble!". They could've made him a massive heel, instead chose to bury him next to mcmahon/hogan.

Idk just my 2cents. I do like ecw the blood is one thing I can deal with but the head shots like Tanaka took from awesome were sick as well.

    All mother are overprotective of their children even they’re adults. No matter what age and how intelligent children are. Zach still would not allow obstacles to derail his passion whatever he wants to do. It’s a good thing when he being able to empathize his mother negative emotion how the way she interprets it and has no idea what kind of blood it was. 💪🩸🦿
