Paul Oswald Zygowicz (February 29, 1920 – July 2, 2010), better known by his ring name of Steve Stanlee, was an American professional wrestler from the late 1940s through the 1960s.
[2] Like his brother Gene, Steve took the nickname "Mr. America" for his chiseled physique, bleached his hair blond, and wore dazzling sequined jackets to the ring.
[3] Gene and Steve did train together and had a couple of runs as a tag team, but the two generally stayed on separate career paths.
Wrestling in New York and New Jersey, he received occasional pushes, challenging for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on several occasions.
He did, however, win the National Wrestling Alliance's Ohio Heavyweight Championship on July 1, 1961, by defeating Frankie Talaber.
[16][17][18] After leaving the WWWF, Stanlee wrestled in Hawaii, competing in both singles matches and in a tag team with Jim Hady.
