A film has been made on one of pro-wrestling's good guys. The high flying former greek grappler and now esteemed jeweler in Springfield, MO., Manoli Savvenas a.k.a. Mike Pappas, is expected to be on hand when his life story makes its' big screen debut at the historic Fox Theatre in his hometown of Springfield on Friday Dec. 10.

"I'm very excited to be involved in such an amazing project," Madusa wrote on Facebook. "What a great story. Great family!"

Tickets for The Flying Greek Premiere are now on sale on https://manolisjewelers.com and at, Mr. Pappas' Manoli's Jewelers, in Springfield.

Ten percent of ticket sales will be donated to Fight Colo-rectal Cancer as Manoli Savvenas is currently fighting colon cancer. The filmmakers ask that masks be worn at the premiere to protect Manoli as his immune system will be compromised due to his chemotherapy.
