Timeline
Played defensive tackle at Michigan State in the late 1950s.
His trademark of ripping apart ring turnbuckles and throwing the stuffing in his opponent's face started during a match with Chief Jay Strongbow in the late 1960s. According to WWE Raw magazine, Steele recalled that the match was not going well when he looked at the turnbuckle and got an idea.
After years of wrestling as a "heel," Steele turned good in the fall of 1985, wherein during a six-man tag-team match, his partners Khosrow Vaziri (Iron Sheik) and Josip Peruzovic (Nikolai Volkoff) turned against him. Fans took pity on Steele, who turned his character from a wild beast into a feral neanderthal-type who uttered one- and two-word sentences and evoked sympathy.
His most famous WWF feud was with Randy Savage in 1986 and 1987. The feud, which centered on Steele's huge crush on Savage's beautiful manager, Miss Elizabeth (Elizabeth Hulette), was originally intended to last three months. However, the "Beauty and the Beast" feud was such a hit it was extended through all of 1986 and into 1987. At one point Steele teamed with Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat (Richard Blood), Hulk Hogan and former enemy Bruno Sammartino--whom Steele nearly defeated for the WWF title in a memorable 1970 steel cage match--in tag team matches against Savage and a partner (usually "Adorable" Adrian Adonis).
In 1988 carried a hand-puppet called "Mine" to the ring, which he frequently used during his matches.
Retired from full-time wrestling in 1989 after suffering from Crohn's disease. He continued as a road agent and made occasional wrestling appearances.
George 'The Animal' Steele ( his professional wrestling name) was born in Detroit, Michigan, USA as William James Myers. He was a wrestling superstar in the WWF. He had a public image of a wild type of creature that chewed on the turn buckles and sported a green tongue. In the 1990s he became an actor, known for Blowfish (1997) and Used Cars (1997).
George was perhaps best known for playing the monstrous Tor Johnson in Ed Wood (1994). He was married to Patricia Randolph.
On January 10, 2000, Steele made his one and only appearance on WCW Television when he defeated Jeff Jarrett in a "bunkhouse brawl" with help from Arn Anderson and Chris Benoit.
Inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2005.
