• Old School WWF Legend Would Have Celebrated His Birthday
Today would have been the 82nd birthday of Old School WWF Legend George “The Animal” Steele (Real name: William Myers).
George Steele wrestled from 1967 until he retired in 1988, but still came out of retirement a couple of times in 1997 & 1998 (WWF), as well as in early 2000 when he wrestled Jeff Jarrett on an episode of WCW Monday NITRO.
Steele won the Slammy Award for “Best Performance by an Animal” in 1987.
In 1995, he was inducted into the World Wrestling Federation Hall of Fame (now WWE Hall of Fame) by Doink The Clown.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & † R.I.P.!
April 16, 1937 – February 16, 2017
• Legends React To WWE Changing War Raiders’ Name On RAW
NXT Tag Team Champions The War Raiders made their WWE main roster debut on last night’s RAW and they now have a new name – The Viking Experience (Ivar & Erik).
Fans expressed their displeasure regarding this new name and you can check out what the Legends have to say regarding this:
Athletic, aggressive big men are often times “Money” in pro wrestling and have been for decades. #Raw
I’m a fan of #VikingExperience (maybe the name will grow on me) by any moniker. 🤠

Nope, just calling out the knee jerk reactions only Mick said it with some tact!

Only if you’ll admit that in 3 months, heck, 1 month, they’ll just be called, Viking Experience and more people will know that name than ever knew War Machine! I thought y’all were “woke” c’mon man

But that’s up to the team, the talent themselves, right? Do you have faith in these guys talent? I do! It doesn’t matter what their name is! Lol sorry
