Hi
oh you are here PARMESAN
RIP Mean Gene
THEE BEST!
Lmao wtf
He was a very intelligent man, great gimmick, coach, pastor, legend... RIP
I agree 🙂
Definitely.
I heard he was also an Olympic level "skier" too 👃 ❄️ ⛷️
Guy held a masters degree.
Rest in peace George Steele! Thanks for the Great memories
“shiek!”
“Yes, that’s a camel.”
Iron!!!
@@dabunnyrabbit2620 Original! Ed Farhat! The REAL Sheik...who the Iron Wannabe stole the gimmich from!
The Original Sheik & Iron Sheik were friends..Also both respected each other as both of them came from Middle East
Lol 😆
camels are abundant in The Iron Shiek’s Homeland
What kind of tiger is this George? Detroit! I'm dying! 🤣🤣🤣
It was like a Beetlejuice answer
Lol 😆 that was great!
I loved Mean Genes response...."he does seem a bit sleepy this season"
He ain't gone they just released him back into the wild😥
They wished him the best on his future endeavors.
Luckily in 2K24, you can have the animal Batista vs the animal George Steele.
@@stevengadzinski2802But the wrong version of Batista. A prime Batista between 2005 and 2008 would be great.
@@Lemmi7810 why do they give us new versions we only want them in there prime. This isn’t nba 2k they don’t have to be so realistic, why would I want to play with an old barista or John cena I want them 00-08 prime only
@@dcarlion yeah im a ruthless aggression era guy
"Heenan!" I lost it!
Now it's George" the Rogan" steele
That's all you could think of...
That's exactly what guided me here. Haha
Wish I was alive when this wrestling was on tv. He seems so entertaining. Rip mate
I remember him well in his prime. Always entertaining, fun and funny to watch. I remember when a friend told me he was a highly educated teacher when he wasn't in the ring. I didn't believe him but it was True!
He was!
Thomas Ennis - When I was younger “Saturday Nights Main Event” was a huge deal.
so funny whenever he was on XD
It’s was great - Saturday Nights Main Event was a huge deal when it was in in place of Saturday night Live.
George "The Animal" Steele is a Detroit Treasure! I wish I was at the Detroit Zoo that day..."Mean" Gene and "The Animal" are Fantastic!
George Steele typically resided at the zoo. He preferred to be around creatures like himself and felt more comfortable in a natural habitat.
im only 11 but still i have watched alot of his matches. RIP George Steele. prayers go out to his family
Fireball 2006 you're a nice, respectful, well-wishing, young man. Nice to see. I agree, R.I.P., Dear George Steele. Our prayers go out to the family. Well said... :)
@@dracomalfoy1784 lol 😂😂😂
Ik I'm late
Growing up watching WWF in the 80's my family loved George the Animal Steele. On St. Patty's day we'd use the green food coloring to dye our tongue and we would do all the Animal movements. He was great. Funny how I just recently discovered how he was more then just the goofy guy we all loved in the WWF. Rest in Peace George! We will miss you....
Ase buen tiempo ese video.
Crack cocaine era..
Rest in peace George. Thank you for all the laughter and love.
I love George, his character and everything fits him just right. Wrestling these days is not the same from the old days.
He lived 2 miles from my house so apparently I live in Parts Unknown Michigan
Absolute legend. He will be missed.
if someone were to see this with no knowledge of George they'd think mean gene was just interviewing a autistic man at the zoo.
Georgian Gaming no he was actually a school teacher and an intelligent man
He had dyslexia as a child.
Shareef K. It was part of his gimmick ffs!
Ahahaha. Jokes aside, RIP George 'The Animal' Steele.
Shareef K. he's dead
He’s was a very respected gym, football and wrestling teacher at Madison High school where his wife was a math teacher and brother was superintendent of school district. Wonderful man
Never met a wrestling fan that didn't like this guys act. What a great wrestler and great person
Rip George. Your heart may have gone out but your soul is still out there!
Another great legend gone but will never be forgotten. Thank you George "The Animal" Steele for entertaining me during my childhood and putting a smile on my face. May you Rest In Peace and God bless you. 🙂
This was absolutely brilliant! Mean Gene Okerlund's comments were hilarious, too. Funny lines!
I remember watching all this back in the 80s. RIP George.
I remember seeing his matches at Cobo Arena in the 60s and 70s. He was a great worker and human being.
His feud with Macho Man Randy Savage was epic. The green tongue and eating turnbuckles are something to never forget.
I'm 55 so I go back a long way with the wwwf/wwe. I don't know if they can be found on youtube, but way back, when George wrestled Bruno and later Pedro for the championship, he used to cut some awesome promos. He was a great talker, not on the level of Piper or Heenan, but far above average. I'd bet no one else has ever made as much money in wrestling playing dumb. R.I.P. my friend. You were a great man.
It would take someone pretty intelligent to pull off his character...
Just watched an interview of him out of character, he was.
Thank you for making my childhood exciting! You will be missed
He was a local here in cocoa beach, he always signed autographs and took pics with his fans, great man, RIP my friend
I'm 40 and I remember being young and watching the animal wrestle .he never did much but if he was on that night ,it was a packed house .rest in peace brother
A true money maker gimmick!!! I wonder how much money he made not just himself but the business of wrestling..he was golden, and i also wonder if he created it himself...?
Hysterical!! I love how Mene Gene is still wearing the nice watch. And the references to Bundy & Heenan. Rip to both of the greats!! I miss the old days of wrestling.
This is a great bit. Jim Meyers had a long career and really pulled off the animal gig to perfection.
What kind of tiger is that? DETROIT! Lol!! I loved me some George “The Animal” Steele. I used to imitate him and my dad used to crack up! Great character! RIP Mr Steele!
wwe could never be this good anymore
Very entertaining back then. RIP George.
This is classic. I remember watching this some 30+ years ago on Saturday Night's Main Event. Still funny to this day.
Gene was such a great companion for the wrestlers! And George was such a favourite of mine as a kid!
George had such unique facial expressions for his character, not a single one of his pupils ever recognized him on tv as their gym teacher
He was great. RIP
Jim Myers was terrific playing George The Amimal Steele, one of the most memorable characters in pro wrestling history.
George was the best thing in the WWF ! If he was on the card I would be at the Phila. Spectrum to LMAO ! Never be another Animal God bless you George Steele ! Thanks for the memories !
I work at the Detroit Zoo it's looks exactly the same lol
Famous tag team wrestler of the 50s and 60s Ivan Kalmikoff also worked for a number of years at the Detroit Zoo. He was head of maintenance and a great human being and friend.
Oh those were the days as a kid in the mid to late 80s watching WWF every Saturday and Sunday. The plot line w Steele getting the electro shock therapy still cracks me up. Truth was Animal was a very bright man, nothing like the character he portrayed.
I miss George I live in Detroit I wish I could meet him
The Animal was always one of my favorite characters. RIP George, thanks for sharing your amazing talent with the world.
very sad to hear of his passing..another legend gone..:(
"How now, brown cow?"
...and coffee passed through my nose.
Genius. He really was
Rest in peace legend
he was incredibly intelligent for his condition
George the Animal was one of my all time favourites. I remember this. classic
George steel best wrestler ever ❤
😢 I miss him he’s my favorite wrestler and my dads favorite wrestler
2:39 when she says she’s pregnant
Lmfao
BYE
*Runs 5 feet away from her into the bushes and stares*
George The Animal Steele Was One Of The Craziest guys in TV In 1980s
He Was Really Funny Back Then
R.I.P George "The Animal" Steele
"Jungle" Gene Okerlund... LOOOOOOOL
George we all miss you so very much rip 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you, George! RIP!
I lived in Madison heights for a few years in the late 80s and early 90s, we would have huge D.A.R.E rallys and he would attend until one year in 92 when I think he has his first cancer bout. When he calls it a Detroit tiger and mean gene says they are a little sleepy this year..ouch..lol. it was one year after they had won the world series
amazing gene's mic wire was so long.
George the Animal Steele is one of a kind..l remember watching him on t.v. back then..how can anyone not love the Animal..Eating turnbuckles, green tongue..hairy AF..YOUU!!
entertainment at it's best!
Classic. I remember watching this way back when.
Man played his character so well, it was scary.
This is hilarious!
r.i.p thank you for the good shows 1985 I was 5 years old or 4
My green MP trainer... RIP The Animal
thanks for sharing WWE
"How now brown cow!" LMMFAO .. Eatting turn buckles with that green tongue.. I was sold.. R.I.P. George
R.i.p king of Detroit
Mean Gene was the best at what he did and Steele an educated hus- band & father provided all his fans, me included with countless outbursts of laughter, mostly hystericall. If I may say in jest he may have gone over the top on turnbuckle consumption! God rest his multitalented and loving family man soul !
1:59 Heenan
Oh,the 80’s. Life was just better back then.
Bye George! Thanks for the memories!
Rip George, thanks for all the laughs.
They loved The Animal on Belinda Avenue. I can still see Brian's grandfather screaming at the television with a handful of saw dust and lighter fluid, and that was before they turned it on.
R.I.P
"Looks to me like they're half monkey and half weasel."
"HEENAN!!!"
😂
Rest In Peace, George. I still miss you.
This stuff is brilliant
i remember watching this as it aired oct 5 1985 priceless
mean jean and animal- great memories thanx !
Rip George steel and mean gene. Mean gene was an icon to me
Who'd have ever believed that in reality he was an intelligent, college educated teacher who was also a devout Christian. Miss you George, you were the best.
Good times
This is more good than today s era
A bygone era. RIP George!
These skits were the best.
One of the best characters ever...
RIP
Am I'm wrong to say Mean gene would been perfect narrator for some aniaml life show
Elephantus maximus also know as the elephant. 😂
Good stuff!
Man, the 80s were such a different time it seemed. Much more lax, more human.
I find the fact he wrestled on weekends and did PE during the week hysterical. I find it even funnier the kids caught on.
"Goodbye George, goodbye!" RIP
George naming the animals through wrestlers names
Shiek!
Heenan!
Bundy!
just googled him a few days ago and now he's dead
Brilliant
R.I.P George Steele, Mean Gene, and Detroit Zoo
Wrestling will never be this entertaining again
RIP George and Mean Gene!
Legend
