George seems like an upfront and straightforward guy.... I loved watching his antics back in the day.... forever in our hearts George the Animal Steele 💐

[@Tazzman225]

My favorite when he was on The Body Shop with Jesse Ventura. He started kicking the weights around and Jesse yells at him, "Hey, you better watch were you kick those weights. Those are my toes down there!" My father and I almost fell out of our chairs laughing! RIP George!

[@werewolvesofsanger4649]

The Animal and The Sheik were my two favorite wrestlers back in the day. I stopped watching wrestling 20 years ago.

[@daviddoyle8956]

It turned to crap after the Attitude era. Stone Cold was gone so what's the point I've seen bits here and there since was not impressed no heart, personality.

[@swvastories3498]

True story. At the start of my senior year of high school, Sept 1989, me and a couple of buddies went to a WWF house show on a Sunday night. When we walked into the lobby I saw some guys standing around in red blazers talking and as we got closer to them this bald headed guy said, "I'll be there in about 15 minutes". Right after I walked past him, I realized it was George the Animal Steele! That must have been during the agent phase he was referring to here.

[@VTPSTTU]

He's a cool guy.

[@PaulBukerJr]

Was

[@VTPSTTU]

@@PaulBukerJr Yes, sorry

[@robertgregory1927]

George was the best.

[@Ditka-89]

Iron Sheik thought very poorly of George’s gimmick. Said he was 1 dimensional. But he also admitted that he captivated the audiences, which was the most important thing

[@LB-oz9hv]

This guy looks the same as he did in the 1980's and he actually looked like he was 50 back then!

[@Millwall77]

That's because he was....

[@LB-oz9hv]

@Millwall77 lol, looks good for 90

[@HectorJR1979]

Love the animal !!

[@user-wr6db6nw8t]

One of the best heels! Made me so sick when they turned him face, and he got all 'tame'! RIP sir

[@yankeemane51]

i never liked the george ''the animal'' steele gimmick.i grew up in nwa territory so i never saw much of him and would turn the channel he came on after wwe went national...BUT the man george myers was a very intelligent man and im enjoying all of his shoot interviews...he seem like somebody you would love 2 sit down and have a conversation with...i still dont like the gimmick but i understand it...its a job...buisness..rest in peace

[@WilliamStansbury-xb4ui]

Its still odd to listen to George speaking coherently. My Generation watched him bite alot of turn buckles

[@tomjones5650]

4:30 George was the biggest "stooge" in WWF.😮 A real 🐀 RAT.

[@Returnofthecrown]

Facts

[@justnkace137]

Lowest form of human life a Rat's RAT!

[@skycap100]

in the interview he mentions that fact.... I think Vince convinced him to stooge....Being old school, made him want to be a disciplinarian probably... not saying he was right, Just from a different era

[@Hewitts_Cross]

What does an "agent" do?

[@justnkace137]

Rat on others! NO ONE liked him just a Vince hanger!

[@robertcooney1938]

If he's dyslexic, how the hell was he a high school teacher?

[@1alsturgeon]

He was the school football coach, I think.

[@Jimmyjackfunk433]

Sit down dummy, people can be dyslexic and be some of the best teachers!

[@mooner2410]

Go watch anybody else's interviews or shoots & see what they REALLY think about the Animal as an "Agent"..He was absolutely a STOOGE..He's also full of schitt about taking credit for stuff ..

[@justnkace137]

Was the worst human out there! A real scum bag!

[@justnkace137]

His biggest lie was he was going to stand up to Black Jack Mulligan! Now that a whopper! B J would have slept him with one punch! FACT!
