common man
>worked a succession of odd jobs as a railroad boy, an electrician's apprentice, and a bus boy

>Londos labored for years to break through to the top of his profession, but at 5-8, he was considered too small and too Greek to be the most important figure in wrestling
ethnic hero

revolutionary

dimesola
>Londos went to Greece later that year to see his ailing father and wrestled Kola Kwariani at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens before one of the largest crowds in sports history to that point, an estimated 70,000 inside the stadium and 20,000 on the hillside
universal
>Londos regained near-universal recognition as world champion in 1934 when he defeated Jim Browning at the Madison Square Garden
global phenomenon
>For most of 1936 and 1937, he toured abroad, wrestling in Greece, Turkey, France, Eqypt and South Africa, to name a few
yep, dimesola
>In his absence, wrestling faltered in North America with only four gates of 10,000 or more fans
Make-a-Wish-er
>Londos wrestled numerous charity matches and supported a number

>had three daughters: Diana, Demetra, and Christina
comfy retirement: money and miles
>where they settled on a 10-acre site nestled in an avocado grove. There, Londos quietly managed his orchard and other investments
