Victor Zangiev

Victor Zangiev ( _ru. Виктор Зангиев) is a former Soviet and Russian (Ossetian) amateur wrestler with a background in freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling.

In 1989 he was part of a contingent of Soviet amateurs invited by Antonio Inoki to his NJPW promotion to train and compete as professionals. Zangiev went on to compete in Jim Crockett Promotions/WCW, and the stiff-style UWFi.

He was quick, agile, and light on his feet, often impressing the crowd with his flexible gymnastic-like maneuvers.He has performed acrobatic moves like flip or carousel in a professional (not acted) fight. Most of those moves were performed in Bushido rings league.

His name is similar to the "Street Fighter" character Zangief, who is also a pro wrestler from the former Soviet Union.
