Monday, February 20, 2017WWE are nothing to scoff at, Steele might be most remembered for his role in the WrestleMania III match between "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat in 1987 at the Pontiac Silverdome. Steele, at that point seen by fans as a hero rather than a villain, helped Steamboat win the WWE Intercontinental Championship by pushing Savage off the ropes and stealing the ring bell from the hands of the Macho Man. He chronicled his career from his time fighting the legendary Sheik in Detroit to his days battling the biggest names in sports entertainment on his website. In May 2016, Steele sent out a series of tweets saying that he was facing some "serious health challenges." He received well-wishes from the likes of Hulk Hogan, Ted DiBiase, and longtime pro-wrestling announcer Jim Ross. "His transformation was remarkable, as one of the most hated men in the sport became one of its most loveable figures," WWE reports on its website. "Long after his in-ring retirement and WWE Hall of Fame induction, George "The Animal" Steele's name still evoked terror for one generation of WWE fans and warm smiles for another."WWE extends its condolences to Steele's family, friends and fans."...
