George "The Animal" Steele scared the heck out of me when I was a kid. Never would guess he was such a kind and religious man. RIP Jim Myers.
Actually, he threw religion in the trash when he found Jesus!!
Jesus is Grace, not religion.
@@spaceace1006 Why do you feel the need to one-up people like that? He found religion. "Jesus is not religion!" Just stop it already.
Actually when he retired and worked as an agent for wwe backstage a lot of wrestlers said he was a terrible person and a true asshole to almost everybody, Bret hart said he was late to the arena by 3 or 4 minutes I think he said as champion and he said George yelled at him and threatened to have him punished to the max and tried treating him like he was George’s kid and I think Greg valentine said too that if you saw George you walked another direction cuz he likely was going to be a jerk to you and lash into you over something small and stupid. Now my personal experience I went to a show in Hershey in 88 and George wasn’t really wrestling much anymore at this time but he was jobbing out on the live show circuit that night he lost to One Man Gang and after the show in Hershey the wrestlers would go to the Turkey hill down the road and i would always go wait in the parking lot to get pics and autograph and George said to me “kid will you leave me be I dont want to deal with people anymore tonight I’m off the clock” I was 6 it hurt only George Steele and Brutus beefcake said no to me when I asked for pictures and autographs
I know right? He was such a classic though
Well he,was an old man who just got his ass kicked by a 400 pound monster, have some grace.
In 1986 George came to my hometown and wrestled Macho Man. I was in front row. After he won by DQ he points at me and said "you!" Waved me over - extended his hand and pulled me in the ring. So I'm with George in the ring and he tells me to eat the turnbuckle. The crowd went nuts and I became a life long fan. Thank you George/Jim.
Man..... what a cool story!!
Brilliant! 😂👌👍
It's 5 am and I have been awake all night recently been having a rough time with my health. I accidently found this video. When it started I listened to a childhood wrestler George the animal Steele. When the video finished I met Jim Myers..what a great humble man. When Jim tells his life story I couldn't quit watching. Very inspiring and literally inspired me to refocus on my life. Thank you for the video and bless the family for your loss . Heaven gained a Wonderful man. God bless!
Rodney Brimer Bro I felt the same way when he telling his life story about his college life coaching and his "part time to full time wrestling career and his health!! Great testimony !!
I'm not even Christian but for some reason reading in his Obituary that he found Christ, was saved, & was a witness made me cry! But tears of joy. So weird!!!
Hopefully his story will lead you to Jesus Christ and that you will get saved.
I was an actor in the '90s. I was fortunate enough to have shot a commercial with this man. I was his body double. He was so kind and really took the time to talk with me as I was a fan of wrestling. He was a true gentleman, and had some great stories! Thanks Jim for the memories! I was literally his shadow for a week. It's something I'll hold near and dear to my heart. Rest in Peace, my friend.
I came across this video by accident. I started watching it and was just drawn to watch it. An amazing story. Hard to believe the man I was watching was the character I watched years ago. He shared his lifes journey and impressed me along the way.
That was awesome! God bless you Jim Myers. See you in heaven. Jesus Christ is Lord. Amen
I'm 53 - this guy left an indelible mark on me from his antics when I was young. Then as an adult I learned that he was a great guy in real life - thanks Jim - RIP.
I loved watching him wrestle...he made a big splash in Chicago.
still teaching even after he's gone...
George had a learning disability- dyslexia- but through sheer determination to be successful went on to earn Bachelor's and Master's Degrees and become an educator and coach. He was a devoted family man. George, a.k.a. Jim, was a quite a guy. RIP "George Steele."
wait george was learning disabled and still become a famous wrestler. that makes me a bigger fan. i bet he has some great stories
He is all smiles about his own death. It shows that He has a big personality. RIP George
A wonderful story about the amazing life Of Jim Myers. A life well lived by a wonderful man who was surrounded by good people. I enjoyed it all and just wished I had had a chance to meet him when he was alive.
That's awesome! So glad to know he was born-again😀
Years later, ran across this video. Loved this and loved his testimony! Matt. 6:33
What a stunningly, wonderful gesture by Mr. Myers. Thank you, sir.
What a beautiful man and a beautiful story, George is so right, anyone who thinks they can walk through this world without JESUS is so wrong. My story is like Jim Meyers to the point of I was also on the wrong path until I got hit by a car when I was totally drunk and walking, because I was to drunk to drive, and the Lord honestly saved my life that day and I did a total 180 and cleaned up my act. My life since then is 100% better. Thank you JESUS. And may you forever rest in peace 🙏 George "the Animal"Steele.
Sorry but what a joke. I was almost killed as a passenger in a car whist the driver was drunk and under the influence of drugs, which I didn't know. He walked away uninjured . Where was jesus then. I had done nothing wrong but why was I punished? I'm afraid you can keep your jesus and keep your bullshit to yourself.
This man had an amazing life. It's great that in his final days he was able to put together this history of his life. It would really be something if we could all lead such a full life and be able to share something like this with everyone at the end.
So glad I watched this. Thank you, Jim. George "The Animal" Steele was one of my favorite characters of my childhood. I had no idea he was played by such a wonderful man.
Enjoy your well-earned rest, sir. ❤
I'm so glad I watched this. I knew who George the animal Steel was, but had no idea who William James Myers was. So glad to know he is now in Paradise with our Heavenly Father and the Angels.
A very powerful testimony. I miss the man, but am elated that he is now at home with the Lord.
If you are not moved by this video ,you are not Human. R.I.P Jim
Watched a lot of good shoots and wrestler interviews over the years, but this one gets bumped to the top.
Incredible life story of an incredible man. Rest in peace George......rest in peace.
What an inspiration. GOD bless you for your testimony
What an amazing video, and what an amazing man. I was able to meet Jim at a minor league baseball game, and it was an honor. Thank you Jim for sharing your life story, and for the Good News of the new beginning you are just starting in heaven. God bless.
This guy guy was a huge part of my childhood. I just wanted to say thank you.
Mr. Myers still lifts me up, even though he has passed.....most respected person I knew growing up! Dave Robinson 75' his Football captain
My Dad was his student / player. Always talked very highly of this man. Thanks for everything.
Thanks for all the memories Animal Steele!
George “The Animal” Steele was one of my favorite wrestlers when I was a kid. I had no idea he was a guy playing a character at the time. This video was a beautiful and fitting tribute to Jim Myers, done by the man himself.
He lived near me. Saw him many times in the superfresh supermarket in town and he was always so nice and humble. Just a very nice human being. He always had stories to tell. Awesome memories.
I remember my Dad telling me that he was a teacher in Detroit. I couldn't believe it. This is such a great video.
See you in heaven one day Jim. Thank you for sharing Jesus Christ with everyone.
I'm 55 and remember him from the WWWF days. RIP.
I so remember meeting you at a wrestling match at Madison heights high school. At the time I wrestled for Warren high and my team mates dared me to get your autograph...you were so nice great about the whole thing and took the time to talk with me for a few minutes . Thank you very much for being an inspiration to me. May you rest in peace.
Thanks for this video. Thank you Jim for the many fun years of entertainment. I always tell the story that when I bought my first home in 1983 it was in Madison Heights, MI. on Bernie Lane I was one block from the high school and decided to walk over and watch their football team play. I was watching and noticed the head coach and how much he resembled a wrestler I had seen work many times. Minutes later I was informed it WAS George 'The Animal' Steele. He lived across the street from the school. Few knew all this as he tended to work WWE during the summers I recall. His brother was the school superintendent. Every time I met Jim and his wife they were always very kind to me. I was saddened to learn of the Lord calling him home and my hope is his wife and family find peace during this difficult time.
Bless the Lord. A wonderful testimony. Thank you for this.
God bless you and your family, from this 58 year old grandpa that had been a fan since he was a kid.
Wow....just wow.
don't know when this was recorded, but, amazingly, this man is STIll having a positive impact on folks here in 2020....
Alot of beauty in that beast! Hope the turnbuckles taste better in Our Fathers house!
Thought, prayers, condolences and eternal respect to you and yours Mr. Myers!
Catch you in Heaven Jim. Very much looking forward to meeting you in person!
I saw him wrestling when I was a kid, now I am Christian, never thought that he would inspire me in Godly thing but this video just did. Bless his family !
Praise God for his courageous testimony. thanks
Seen George wrestle when I was a kid. My mom got us ringside seats and when George came to the ring his antics had me hiding behind my parents. He then during the match threw a chair in he air that promptly landed right in front of us. My mom protecting her children’s was so mad she was pointing and yelling at him. A response deserving of his character. A memory I’ll never forget. RIP Sir and thanks for entertaining us all.
I feel honored to even watch this rest easy
As a fan of Mr. Myers (Steele), I was looking for some old matches when I came across this video. I can say that it made me so happy to hear his story in his own words, and what made me even happier was the fact that he was a believer in Christ! He set a wonderful testimony through his live and actions, and I feel my faith strengthened from listening to it. God bless your family and may he bring peace to all of them throughout these hard times, but thank God for the hope that you will be reunited with him in heaven!.
By all accounts, Jim Myers was a terrific human being. I wish I could have met him. Rest easy, big man.
So many wonderful stories here. Rest in peace "Animal". Thanks for the memories.
Jims wife Pat Myers taught both of my sons . she is one of the most wonderful person you could know. Jim was down to earth as anyone you could every meet. god bless both of you
What a great testimony, Praise Jesus!
RIP jim. George the Animal Steele. Watched you growing up, one of the greats.
RIP Jim, My Dear Long Distance friend. Thanks for all your words of encouragement. Love you my dear friend, and will miss you .
I wish I could have met him and got his Autograph. I have been a fan of his simce the 80s.
Really awesome video. I don't mean to take these wonderful posts in another direction, but how pitiful of a person must you be to give this video a thumbs down? The biggest problem with the internet is that it gives a voice to the lowest people on the planet. Very sad. RIP Animal
I loved to watch him wrestle and I was a huge fan. this really made me cry. God bless you Jim aka George The Animal Steele! never forgotten!
I remember as a kid growing up in the 80's the craziness and oddities his skit involved. This is so heartwarming. Never knew this side of The Animal. Such a contradiction to his character 😆.
Our kids are bigger fans of the previous generation of wrestlers than they are of the more current ones. I hear my kids, nephews, and their young friends talking about Andre, Ultimate Warrior, Sting, the Rock's dad and I'm completely blown away. Good to see these wrestling legends live on and hear their stories.
I watched the whole entire segment. GOD bless Jim or as we know him as
George the animal steel. What a remarkable man he was. Thank you for sharing this.
I LOVE this idea. A person can tell there own story, in there own way, forever. Better then any inscription on a head stone most never see. Such a wonderful and honest way to remember someone.
Sad to say I became a fan of his after his passing as I never really watched the WWF . Great to hear his testimony. God bless his memory
safe in the arms of Jesus..its how you finish the race!!!
Jesus is fairy tale.
GOD IS BULLSHIT!
Amen 🙏
@@travelingman5146 and yet he still loves you.

RIP Mr Myers, AKA George "The Animal" Steele. I only saw you just now outside your TV character, what a story and a really motivational tribute. God Bless You. Well done.
I am 42 now, and this man made me smile since I can even remember. R.I.P. animal!!!! You helped make my childhood a happy place!
I too believe that things happen for a reason in life, I'm currently at an uncertain time in my life and this gives me some hope. I do hope that he has now found peace & is young and strong again.
From the first time I saw him on TV as a child He was always one of my favorites. Unpredictable strong & unstoppable.
My heroes are leaving me all too soon.
God bless you.Wow I got something out of that video that I didn't expect...I love how bad things happened for a greater good. Today I have 42 days clean and am trying to figure out my life.I am blessed to have heard your message. I am praying now..... I want Jesus in my life......Thankyou....
May God grant yu the peace and serenity that you need, Mr. Adams. Jesus can give that to you. Bless you, my dear friend.
Thankyou so much...That is really kind of you.That without a doubt brightened my day...Thankyou kind Sir..
Mark Adams congrats on being clean. god is good.
elbosausage Thankyou very much buddy.Today is day 54.
God love him, he went through so much in the end as a result of a chrones disease - kidney failure, heart attacks and all sorts that stemmed from it. It takes a lot of guts to make a video like that when you know you're at the end.
Rest In Peace. You are an inspiration to me when i struggled at school, i would think of you and you helped me get thru alot. Thank you for the great memories. Massive respect for you :)
The shoots he did later in his life were pure gold. I'm eternally grateful for him doing them because he was such a funny, intelligent man and he not only had stories to tell but told them beautifully. RIP, sir. Thank you for everything.
A humble man with a great sense of humor. He will be missed.
I always enjoyed watching "The Animal" in the ring, but I never knew anything about his life. What a lovely man.
How refreshing to see a wrestler talking about his life without boasting, and acknowledging his faults.
met jim in 1983 what a great man.
I loved this guy as a teen, and as a sixty year old man today, I still love this man. Hearing his story is amazing, and I had no idea of the back story. What a great man, his family is surrly proud of him. My dad is from Troy michigan, and ended his hockey career hopes in 44 when he went to war. Michigan folks are proud and some great Americans come out of michigan. God Bless you Coach!
Man I actually listened to his whole story!! God was in control everystep!!! Great story and a very calm demeanour !!!
👍👍👍👍
Peaceful people who live a long life. I love the fact that he can remember his life ... awesome
George Dorunda : I cannot thank you enough for providing this video of

A very heartfelt and emotional speech from George. He is right on the mark with Jesus Christ. He will take you to places that you can’t even imagine when he calls us home!! Please put Jesus Christ always first in your life, what he has in store for us is going to be amazing!! I absolutely 100% believe that. May god bless each and everyone of you and your families. JESUS is our rock!!
God Bless Jim Myers aka George "The Animal" Steele. I bet the turnbuckles taste better in Heaven. So awesome he shared this video. With all his problems he had not once did you hear him say "why me". It was a Jesus Christ plan. Loved this
Wow, I only knew the "George" side. I am happy to meet the "Jim" side. Being dyslexic myself, I know the frustration growing up. I became a teacher to help kids with learning problems. Glad to know he overcame his learning problem and also became a strong Christian. God knows what he is doing. RIP to a very great guy.
Total respect to Jim for this parting gift. RIP Legend.
He did the best wrestling character of all time... It's 2021 and still laughing from when he lifted Piper's skirt and said "Elizabeth???"... Lol... 😂
Wonderful man. Was so nice and polite behind the scenes as well. I interviewed him once for a local newspaper and he was so kind, it made the entire thing a great pleasure .
Thank you Jim for sharing you're amazing journey. Long live the legend of George "The Animal" Steele
God bless you George, aka Jim. You had a blessed life. Your message meant alot. Shows that you can have blessings in your life.
Thank you for this lovely video Mr. Myers. This is such a thoughtful gesture to all the fans that love you.
WoW!! better than what could written in any obituary column. And from a man whose character I thought was really real at one time. R.I.P. Jim. You done well old friend.
I loved this. Happy to say I was able to illustrate him, wish more I had gotten to know him. In Peace, Mr. Myers.
I'm 57 y old.I seen this great man wrestler in fairmont wv my home town .Right now I'm in tears. God Bless you georg!! I will see u one day. Gary cianfrocca
Man i needed to hear this tonight. Knowing i'm born again is one thing but he (Jim) showed me something about faith and letting God take control regarding health. If i worry too much it only makes things worse. Let go and let God. R.I.P. Jim.
I never knew the real voice and intelligence of George the animal Steele, until today. Praise God, Lord Jesus amen.
What a classic act. Loved him back in the day. A truly great man.
Amen, Brother Jim.... Enjoy time with my Mother in Heaven. May you both be singing songs of praise, walking the streets of Gold and glowing in HIS presence....
God you gave Jim a loving Life and allowed Jim to walk with jesus and allowed me to share a world with Jesus also = Yes im on my death bed but im walking with Jesus ! AMEN ! 70 yr old Army Veteran see you in heaven Jim ty for your share !
God bless you!
Nice going away present for all your fans who wanted to know the real story behind the man. Glad jim left us this video of his life in his own way, not produced and cookie cut by WWE productions. Just a man just like you and me sitting down talking to us like we are in the room with him reminiscing about his life, salvation and memories he left us with! Rest in paradise now Jim and rejoice with Jesus and your fellow brothers and sisters. God bless and thanks for the memories. Heeeeyyy Yooooou! The Animal!
A legend. I remember him in the early 1970's when wrestling was actually fun to watch.
i will never forget the animal, you just cannot forget him, in my youth he was something else. rest in peace george and thank you for the memories.
This was great. And for Jim to create this for the purpose of calling us to faith...I couldn't smile bigger.
What a beautiful testimony of his faith!
I believe He only came to true faith in Jesus later in life. Great to hear He had the courage to give his testimony. thanks
I loved George ''The Animal'' Steele... great character and a Hall of Fame old schooler... will never be another. R.I.P. Jim Myers and God bless you.
One of the best, in and out of the ring. Thanks for posting.
Rip we will never forget you
I love you, Uncle Jim. So proud of you. You will be greatly missed but I know I will see you again one day and I can't wait :)
Moriah Randolph so sorry for your loss may he rest well
I'm sorry for your loss as well, Moriah.
Moriah Randolph Greatly appreciate this video and his testimony. Grew up watching him. nothing but respect for him. Your uncle was good man and left his mark in many life's.
Jack Elliott you sir are a class act!! much respect!!
