Zangief: Pro Wrestler, Street Fighter Tournament Participant, wrestling teacher
One of the fighters of the Street Fighter Tournament, Zangief brought Pro Wrestling with him as his martial art, while “Pro Wrestling” is staged in many places Zangief uses pro wrestling moves in actual combat. Lariats, Pile Drivers, brute strength grappling techniques, Power Slams, and so on, he made pro wrestling into a legitimate sport rather than a staged stunt show.
The large bear of a Russian values pure muscle power and it’s his answer to Street Fighter’s “What is strength?” Question
Zangief also took on a student going by the name of R. Mika and the two of them became one of the greatest wrestling duos in the world
