10 WWE Superstars who beat cancer

#2. Zach Gowen

Zach Gowen was a star even when he was a kid

Zach Gowen created a legacy for himself when the one-legged Superstar stepped inside the squared circle for matches, week after week. During his WWE career, Gowen feuded with the likes of Vince McMahon and even made his boss bleed.

He may not be as famous as many others on this list but those who know about Gowen, are aware that he is an inspiration to one and all.

Gowen was diagnosed with cancer when he was a child. At the age of 8, he had little understanding of what stood in front of him. But he also had the heart of a lion.

His left leg was severely affected by the cancerous cell which could only be treated with amputation of the limb.

Despite losing one of his legs at such a young age, Gowen went on to pursue his dreams of becoming a professional wrestler. In an interview with Bleacher Report, he said.

“For those three hours, I didn't feel any pain at all. I didn't feel the pain of missing my leg. I didn't feel the pain of cancer, of chemotherapy, of looking different, of not fitting in, of being sick. All of that went away when I engaged in the magic of professional wrestling.”
