PlaidWolf - you are totally correct. One of the most interesting flights I’ve ever taken was a commuter flight I shared in the late 80s with a number of wrestlers - Randy Savage, Elizabeth, George “The Animal” Steele, Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake, Honky Tonk Man, and a couple of others - who had done a bout in Nashville the night before and were traveling to their next bout. Their social dynamic was a total hoot; guys who were bashing each other with folding chairs the night before were sitting side by side joking and comparing notes on the bouts while waiting on the flight.
FYI for those who weren’t aware: wrestling isn’t fake (not in terms of the physical requirements, anyway), but it *is* performance art. :)
Still, I am glad the NWA never brought in George ‘The Animal” for a run…i can just picture him chasing Jim Cornette around a ring, with the “Louisville Lip” flapping his arms and tennis racket (if George hadnt bitten it off anyway) trying to get away (and Beautiful Bobby vainly trying to keep a straight face throughout it all…)

Ahhh, must have been George “The Animal’ Steele….who in real life outside the ring was a quiet, well-educated man

Large and flexible. Paralyzed penguin ponders playing possum.

I am not sure he could do that before Opus’ honey lit into him!

More animal than human? Takes one to know one, Opus!
