Wrestling fans all around the world will be saddened to hear about the death of George "The Animal" Steele. George, 79, was in hospice care.
Where do you start with The Animal. Playing a rampaging mentally ill character back when you could still do that, eating turnbuckles, stalking and menacing the lovely Miss Elizabeth... what was not to love?
Steele was a schoolteacher and a coach before he became a strangler. He's in the Michigan Hall Of Fame, for coaching. I'm pretty sure that he's in the WWE Hall Of Fame, too. Steele's influence rivals Buddha's. His name turns up in rap songs released long after he retired.
We can neither confirm nor deny George's paternity regarding former wrestler Hammerin' Heather Steele, but he was probably in her hometown at some point 9 months before her birth, George got around.
21 Bell Salute on Monday Night RAW, guarantee it. The man was an icon.
