Ghulam Mohammad Baksh Butt (22 May 1878 – 23 May 1960), commonly known by the title Rustam-e-Hind and by the ring name The Great Gama, was a pehlwani wrestler and strongman in British India and later, Pakistan. In the early 20th century, he was an undefeated wrestling champion of British India.
also going down the wikipedia rabbit hole from this guy i found perhaps the greatest wrestling picture ever of stanislaus zbyszko.
He shall now break this whelp.
Any relation to Larry?
