WWE Hall of Famer George 'The Animal' Steele dead at 79 | FOX Sports
Feb 17, 2017 at 11:37a ET
It was during his teaching stint that he began moonlighting in sports-entertainment, working in the Detroit-area promotions. Steele’s first WWE appearances took place in 1967, when he began a heated rivalry with WWE Champion Bruno Sammartino. For nearly 20 years, Steele was a reviled villain, managed by the likes of fellow WWE Hall of Famers The Grand Wizard, “Classy” Freddie Blassie, Capt. Lou Albano and Mr. Fuji. His classic main events against Sammartino, Pedro Morales and Bob Backlund saw him come close to winning the WWE Championship on many occasions.
Steele, whose real name was William James Myers, was an educated man, with a bachelor of science degree from Michigan State University and a master’s degree from Central Michigan University.
Steele and his wife, Pat Myers, were married for over 60 years and had three children: Dennis, Randy and Felicia.
His colleagues posted their sympathies after the news was made public.

George wrestled at high schools in metro Detroit when I was growing up. They used to have big time wrestling in gyms.
Most people did not know that he was a high school teacher, wrestling and football coach in the Detroit area. When he first came on the scene he wore a mask and was called The Student so nobody would recognize him as a teacher.

A guy I worked with went to Madison and had him as a teacher and coach for both sports. Said he was fantastic at both jobs. Some of the other coaches called him "Moose" but he absolutely went nuts if any of the kids called him that.

79 is pretty damn good lifespan for a wrestler

In his honor and memory it's turnbuckles tonight for dinner. I just have to figure out the best way to cook these things. I can't do raw like the Animal did.

Was at a half empty WWF house show in the early/mid 90s. This was the Tatanka days. We were walking around the empty upper deck and watching and this guy was just sitting up there watching. One of my friends recognized him as George Steel. We went over there, asked if it was cool if we sat down and he ended up talking to us for like a half an hour. Nice guy.

Instead of spilling a 40, I will chew on a turnbuckle.
