Joey Russ 7,119 Posted January 30, 2017 Race's condition is not as bad as I made it seem in December. Funny that. It didn't matter anyways. He made it onto 0 DDP teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 10,035 Posted February 9, 2017 Oh, irony! I was watching that right now. A dead cert, but will he obit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,720 Posted February 9, 2017 I'd be stunned if they didn't, between the more famous siblings (though Smith's not exactly unknown in his own right, wrestling wise), the family history of tragedies being a good press story, and Smith's own... eccentric life story making for a good obit.

drol 10,035 Posted February 9, 2017 Yes, he's Bret's big brother, a decent wrestler and all. I can see a Dailymail article lamenting yet another "big wrestling death", but nothing more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluejay 8 Posted February 10, 2017 Photo of Smith Hart from earlier today. Tagged for size. Perhaps a year was being optimistic. Plus, he's making an effort of traveling to his brothers grave and family house now while he can... Looks a lot better than John Wetton though. Had to Google Smith Hart - never even heard of him.

msc 17,720 Posted February 16, 2017 Bob Backlund 3 hrs · I called George the Animal steel yesterday. His wife answered the phone. I asked if Mr. Steel was there. She said he was not at home.Then she said who are you. I told her my name and she said that he my not come home this time. As tears slowly came to my eyes, I told her that everyone loved GEORGE THE ANIMAL STEEL. HOPE George Steele (b 1937) may be familiar to non-wrestling fans as he appeared in the Tim Burton film Ed Wood. He's been in poor health for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,720 Posted February 17, 2017 Well, that's not really a surprise. Unless you count it as a surprise she lasted this long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,720 Posted February 17, 2017 Incidentally, the word going around wrestling forums about George "the Animal" Steel is hospice care, so he's probably not got long. Snuka and a Guerrero already, with a Hart, Koloff (ex-World Champ), Steel and possibly Vader circling the drain - sounds like the Reapers got a bumper year planned for pro-wrestling. As long as Mantaur is safe, I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 18,963 Posted February 17, 2017 Steele is a DDP pick. He'll be needing to piggy back on all the stories about Bass - though as a HoF'er, he should get one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
