Professional wrestler George "The Animal" Steele died at age 79, the WWE said in a statement.

Steele, whose real name is William James Myers was one of the WWE's most wild and outrageous stars.

Known for his green tongue and hairy chest, "The Animal" received a master's degree from Central Michigan University and was a high school teacher and wrestling coach in Michigan.

While he was teaching, he began to book gigs in the pro-wrestling world. His first WWE appearance was in 1967 when he began his rivalry against WWE champ Bruno Sammartino.

The WWE Hall of Famer continued to make wrestling appearances through the 2000s.

He is survived by his wife Pat, their two sons Dennis and Randy and daughter, Felicia.

Vader will be next :(

RIP John Goodman

RIP. I loved his performance in Ed Wood. I thought he was legit deranged when he would rip padding out of the turnbuckle and eat it.

I didn't follow wrestling. Did he eventually win her heart?

I think he "won her" in a match versus macho man at some point....so she had to be "with him".

I think they turned it into some hypnotized storyline if I recall properly.
