Ex-WWE Star Once Detailed How WWE Used Brock Lesnar to Punish 40-Year-Old Star in 2003 for Breaking a Vince McMahon Rule Backstage: “That Was Punishment Right There”

Brock Lesnar quickly convinced Vince McMahon that he was the ‘Next Big Thing’ in WWE. The former CEO of the company then started booking The Beast Incarnate with top stars to elevate him. However, in that process, WWE also used Lesnar as its unofficial enforcer. Once a former WWE star recalled such an incident when McMahon used the former UFC fighter to punish a then rookie in the company.

The beating Lesnar gave to this former WWE star in the ring was brutal. Moreover, it happened on an episode of SmackDown.

WWE once told Brock Lesnar to punish a WWE rookie on live TV

A year ago in February, former WWE superstar, Rene Dupree recalled an incident on his podcast Cafe De Rene. While remembering Zach Gowen’s WWE run, Dupree shared how WWE once told Lesnar to punish the one-legged wrestler because he was caught smoking cigarettes backstage.

The 39-year-old said, “What I had heard is that he was caught smoking cigarettes backstage. If you’ve ever been backstage at a WWF (WWE) show, Vince (McMahon) has ‘no smoking’ signs all over the building.”

The former 2-time WWE tag team champion added, “Only two people were allowed to smoke that was Black Jack Lanza and Pat Patterson. Remember that segment where Brock bashes his f***ing brains in with that steel chair in front of his own mother? That was punishment right there.”

We all have seen how Lesnar tormented Gowen several times when they were feuding for a short time. However, now we know the possible reason behind the brutal chair shot on WWE’s first-ever amputee wrestler in front of his mother.

Nevertheless, whatever the real reason is for that chair shot, Gowen still considers Vince McMahon the savior of his life. Furthermore, Dupree and his co-host also reminisced about Lesnar pushing Gowen down the stairs in a wheelchair.

Zach Gowen recently shared WWE used a stunt double in the wheelchair segment 

While Gowen was in a rivalry with Vince McMahon and The Beast Incarnate, the 40-year-old was in a brutal segment. The segment saw Lesnar pushing down Gowen the stairs tied to a wheelchair.

In an interview with Steve Falls, he said, “I didn’t take it. They brought in a stunt double to take that particular fall, down the stairs tied to a wheelchair….I don’t to fall down a flight of stairs with a wheelchair bouncing behind my head. So I politely declined.”
