I will assume WWF is popular in India?

Very very very popular especially among the younger generation. The only time i used to enjoy watching it was when Zach Zowan was there

How on earth did Zach Gowan fight properly???

The only time I saw him was when he was absolutely mutilated by Brock Lesnar.. I was unsure if it was really WWF i was watching or a really brutal film...
