Were they really trying to push a skinny dude with one leg as a legit, permanent competitor on the roster?
I mean, I would understand them only doing a short angle with him where he won one or two matches with outside help, on some inspirational 'Make-A-Wish' shit
But this motherfucker was wrestling regular matches for a couple of months - even WON one of them - and had a full-blown feud with Brock
Did they really think he was gonna stay over with fans just because of the sob story about his one leg?
I know it's fake fighting but geez, this is WAY outside the realm of believability

Same thing AEW tried last but it actually made money back then.

This whole time period was cringe so Zach fit right in.
Didn't he even turn heel at one point? kek

AEW tried the same thing with a guy with no legs much later
>AEW out of nowhere
It's a wrestling board. AEW is wrestling.

I really liked the match he had with Stephanie and Big Show, that was a genuinely good match with a great story
But they should have immediately put him in a tag team with a legit midcarder, maybe even have him contend for the tag titles
It was hard to take him seriously as a solo wrestler, but giving him a role where he could always tag in an able-bodied guy, that could have worked

I doubt that they were seriously going to make him a wrestler. His arm wrestling segment with Vince was great though. Honestly, the entire Mr. America storyline was great.

I popped for his top rope moonsault and the spot where he kicked the chair up into Big Show's head

I literally just realized last year that his WWE theme was basically a rock version of Kurt Angle's theme

I watched that match a while back and Beeg had one of the biggest boo boo faces I've ever seen

From what I heard Zach had a really big chip on his shoulder and everybody in the locker room hated him. It's no wonder he was constantly being humiliated all the time by Lesner.
