George William Wenzel (February 27, 1913 – August 25, 2004) was an American professional wrestler and World Heavyweight Champion who was active in the early portion of the twentieth century, best known under the ring name Dave Levin.

After an hour Freeman told Pfeffer they had a “real find.” Levin would remain undefeated for his first 28 matches before losing to Leo Wallick on December 28, 1934.

In 1935 when Jess McMahon began promoting Luna Park in Coney Island, Dave Levin was his early main event wrestler often drawing over 2,000 fans for each show.

On May 5, 1936, Dave Levin made his Madison Square Garden debut defeating Chief Big Wolf in 8 minutes and 41 seconds.

On June 5, 1936, promoter Max Joss promised the winner of Dave Levin versus Salvatore Balbo the opportunity to face Ali Baba for the World's Heavyweight Championship at a large baseball park as opposed to his usual Broadway Arena show.

However prior to that outdoor stadium show, Dave Levin substituting for Hans Schnabel faced Ali Baba in Newark, NJ on June 12 at the Meadowbrook Field.

These champions were generally territorial based on which manager and promoter held interest in a town such as Lou Daro in California, Al Haft in the mid-west or Toots Mondt, Jack Curley and Ray Fabiani in the north-east.

In truth, Ali Baba lost whatever protesting claim he had to Everett Marshall the previous night in Columbus, Ohio.

On July 2, Levin would travel to Canada to defend his World title when he defeated Howard Cantowine in Toronto in straight falls.

On July 8, Toots Mondt told the St. Louis Globe-Democrat that Dave Levin would agree to face Everett Marshall to unify their World Title claims in the city that "provides the best offer" roughly around late August or early September.

Levin would make his next appearance in Kansas City, Missouri where he would face former World's Heavyweight Champion Gus Sonnenberg.

Dave Levin's first match on the west coast was a straight falls victory to defend his championship against Howard Cantonwine in San Diego on July 14.

The next day the Los Angeles times panned the actual match as "mediocre" but could not deny Levin's star power citing his "appearance here more than doubled the gate at the local bone-bending emporium."

The San Francisco Examiner's beat writer Prescott Sullivan claimed on July 21 that he received a letter from a Max Bauman of Rochester, NY which exposed Dave Levin's heritage.

The next evening, Levin would travel north to Portland, Oregon to defeat former World's Champion Gun Sonnenberg in two straight falls.

The unification match was set the next day to take place at Wrigley Field on August 19 and was listed as for the "World's Undisputed Heavyweight Wrestling Championship."

Dave earned victories over Gus Sonnenberg, Sammy Stein, Vincent Lopez, Pat Fraley, Freddy Meyer, and future World Champion Sandor Szabo.
