Edward Nye "Ed Don" George Jr. [1][2](June 3, 1905 – September 18, 1985) was an American amateur and professional wrestler, and wrestling promoter.

[3] He also represented the United States in freestyle wrestling at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, placing fourth in the heavyweight class (87 kg).

[6] Quick and powerful, he took on the name "Ed Don George" and began his professional career shortly after returning from the Olympics.

However, promoter Paul Bowser maneuvered it back to George, who held it for nearly four years, finally losing it to Danno O'Mahony on June 30, 1935.

George remained one of the top box office draws of the 1930s, and on April 5, 1937, defeated Al Perreira in Paris to capture the European version of the world title.
