Sincerest apologies to Zangief on missing his birthday this year! He turned 70 this past Monday, June 1st! Good natured, with a great sense of humor, Zangief hasn’t seemed to age a day since the early 1990s - maybe he’s born with it, maybe it’s bear fighting.

THE WORLD WARRIORS CONT.
Zangief
Date of Birth: 6-1-1956
Height: 7'
Weight: 256 Ibs.
Blood Type: A
Nationality: Russian
Fighting Style: Wrestling
-000
Many believe that Zangief entered the tournament out of his fierce respect for his country, but they are only partially correct.
Langief loves his country, but he loves to stomp on his opponents even more. What else would you expect from a man who wrestles bears for fun?
Good natured, with a great sense of humor, Zangief loves to fight. He left the Russian Wresting Federation because of the lack of competition and now seeks suitable opponents wherever he can find them. Totally fearless, Zangief is more than willing to walk into a punch as long as he can grab his opponent and drive them into pavement with his Spinning Pile Driver.
