Yes, I remember seeing him in that film and read about his coaching! He was lucky to lead two lives! One that had job security and one the many could only dream about having. He was a very different wrestler in his early pro days... A real, scary villain that was transformed into a comical, lovable character later on. Thanks for sharing and I wished I had gotten to meet him!

In addition to his persona as George, Jim Myers coached our HS football and wrestling teams. His team won a Michigan state championship in wrestling. Some might remember his role in the Tim Burton movie, Ed Wood. Quite a man indeed.

Thank you very much Richard! I remember watching George "the animal" Steele very well and seeing him in the old wrestling magazines! Unfortunately I never saw him wrestle live. He must have been an interesting guy to know!
