Zach Gowen’s doctor advises him to retire; Reveals that he lied about Hogan Submitted by Richard Gray on Friday, May 28, 2004 at 6:39 PM EST
Zach Gowen recently revealed in the May 20th edition of his live journal that his doctor has advised that he retire from wrestling. Gowen wrote the following:
"And you wonder why i hate doctors. Basically he told me not to wrestle again, so I'm getting a second opinion from a different doctor in a coupla weeks. He found 2 slipped discs in my lower back and one in my neck that I didn't even know about. The pain's not that bad so I dunno. I'm not done wrestling but I'm gonna cut down my bookings severely after June 27th (I think) when I take on THE WARLORD!!!!"
Gowen also clears the air about the Hulk Hogan lies that were told when he was just breaking into the wrestling business with NWA: TNA by saying:
"It's time to make a confession, to come clean if you will. Since I've debuted in TNA, the story people were told is that Hulk Hogan visited me when I had cancer. On my dying bed, the Immortal Hulk Hogan gave me the strength to carry on. Well, thats bulls**t. I made it up 'cos it sounded like a great story, and it was. It's funny because my fictional story actually led to my first storyline in the WWE with the whole Mr. America angle. Suckers. But I digress..."
