I just got off the phone with Zangief from the Street Fighter Series and he wanted to wish all the Gaming Today fans a happy 4th of July. When he’s not wrestling polar bears in Siberia, he does have a little spare time to talk with us.
I hope everyone has a great 4th. I also hope that no one forgets to remember what the 4th really represents.

@Xboxlenny:
It’s funny cause I can’t picture any man who wrestles actual bears for a living to be gay, and yet poor Zangief is always on majority of gay game character lists out there.

@ Daniel
you should visit a gay club and enquire as to what a ‘bear’ is exactly. You might just be surprised, and it would probably rank this guy up a notch or two on that list…
Don’t ask how I know, my wife and kids are just a cover ! LOL

Can’t imagine why having a preference for all things masculine would preclude any man, especially a seven foot musclebear like Zangief, from wrestling bears any more than it would for any other extreme professional fighter, even those who prefer ladies. I’m a gay bear myself and I play Zangief in the “Street Fighter: TLY” series so I’ve got a pretty good grasp of his background. It seems that he began wrestling bears because the men whom the Soviet Union provided him for training did not offer him enough of a challenge. Eventually even bears weren’t doing it for the big Russian anymore but then he got sent to the Middle East to fight in the second World Warrior Championship Tournament and found the challenge he craved in the fighters there. This was Zangief’s first introduction to the Street Fighter circuit. As a gay bear, Zangief was designed to perfectly fit the stereotype of a gay man from the viewpoint of the Japanese. As a bear myself, I immediately recognize Zangief as a “brother”. It’s almost ridiculously obvious.
