Victor Zangiev

[8.0] "Whilst he may have held 0 gold during his career, the fact that he left a cultural impact this big in Japan tells you how popular, and frankly good Zangiev was in wrestling. His career was not long, but eventful, and he showcased his freestyle wrestling prowess in the process."

[8.0] "A very good technical wrestler and trainer, whose career did not last so long, but who managed to prove himself in the big leagues."

[7.0] "One of the very few pure old school freestyle wrestlers who perfectly transitioned to a more entertainment-based style."

[7.0] "Though his pro wrestling career was on the short side, Zangiev's credentials in freestyle wrestling spoke for themselves, and he brought that legitimacy to the pro ranks with impressive grappling, throws and suplexes. He was most often seen in NJPW as part of the Red Bull Army, and usually tagging with Salman Hashimikov, and made an impressive showing for himself during his short run. He also made a single appearance for NWA-WCW at Starrcade 1990 alongside Hashimikov in the Pat O'Connor Int'l Tag Team Tournament, and returned to the pro ring for a short run with UWF-I in 1994."

[6.0] "The greatest wrestler to come from Kazakhstan! Well, Victor was a good technical wrestler that I enjoyed watching in the ring."

[6.0] "Mehr oder weniger "nur" ein Ringer, dem man das Bumpen beigebracht hat und ein weiterer Mann der aufgrund Inokis Faible für "Shooter" seinen Weg in das Pro Wrestling gefunden hat. Aufgrund seines unorthodoxen Stiles, seiner Beweglich- und Wendigkeit und seiner herrlich aggressiven Art aber ein sehr interessanter "Wrestler" und von den damaligen Ringern aus Russland wohl noch vor Hashimikov der talentierteste Mann."

[10.0] "Ein richtig guter Kämpfer, aber der ist halt kein Wrestler. Ich habe einige seine Matches in Japan gesehen, echt klasse"
