Władysław Cyganiewicz (November 30, 1892 – June 10, 1968), better known by the ring name Władek Zbyszko (Polish: [ˈvwadɛk ˈzbɨʂkɔ]), was a Polish catch wrestler, professional wrestler and strongman. "Zbyszko" was his older brother Stanislaus Zbyszko's childhood nickname, borrowed from a fictional medieval knight in the novel Krzyżacy; both brothers used it as their ring name.
