Legends of Wrestling 7
Name: George Steele
Nick name: the Animal
Finisher move:
Trademark Quote:
His trademark in the ring was biting off turnbuckles. 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. First wrestled as "The Student," a masked wrestler. A Pittsburgh, Pa., wrestling promoter gave Steele his most famous wrestling name, while fans nicknamed him "the Animal" for his naturally hairy body.
His green tongue was the result of eating green Clorettes candy before his matches. His lisp (another one of his trademarks) was the result of a childhood football accident, wherein he nearly lost his tongue. 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 manager, Miss Elizabeth, 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 WWWF title in a memorable 1970 steel cage match -- in tag team matches against Savage and a partner (usually "Adorable" Adrian Adonis).
