R.I.P. George Steel you were one of my favorite wrestlers in the 80s

I am privileged that I actually got to see him live in Sacramento. He was one of my favorite wrestlers. RIP Mr. Myers... I will always be a fan of yours.

Grew up watching him, was one of my all time favorites in the ring, his antics were hilarious, he was an amazing showman, he kept the audience in the palm of his hand.
Just finished watching "A walk through life with Jim Meyers - AKA George (The Animal Steel)". He was an amazing man and a huge role model as a coach and teacher, great story! RIP George

Rest in peace.
