Short Biography
Theodore Vetoyanis (Greek: Θεόδωρος Βετογιάνης) (February 22, 1909 – May 22, 1984) was an American professional wrestler and sports promoter, known by his ring name George Zaharias, popularly known as "The Crying Greek from Cripple Creek" or "The Greek Hyena" during the 1930s. Often cast as a villain or sore loser, one of his most celebrated bouts was a 1932 match with Jim Londos at a sold-out Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, which Londos won. The 14, 500 audience was the highest attendance for any North American wrestling match that year.
