Wladek Zbyszko (November 20, 1891 - June 10, 1968), real name Wladek Cyganiewicz, was a professional wrestler and strongman. He is the brother of Stanislaus Zbyszko.

Professional career

Zbyszko claimed a version of the World Heavyweight Title after defeating the "Strangler" Ed Lewis in a non-title match on June 5, 1917 in San Francisco. On July 4, 1917 in Boston he lost to Ed Lewis, only to defeat him again on December 22, 1917 in New York. He then lost the title to Earl Caddock on February 8, 1918 in Des Moines, and lost again to Ed Lewis on May 19, 1918 in New York. In the same month and year, he was briefly detained at Ellis Island and photographed by chief clerk Augustus F. Sherman.

In 1934 Wladek Zbyszko fought Hélio Gracie for three 10 minute rounds. That match was declared a draw.
