Wrestler ANNUAL: Winter 1983

Unbelievable Violence!!!

SHEIK BATTLES THE ANIMAL INSIDE A CAGE

Put George “The Animal” Steele and The Sheik into one arena, or even one city, and the violence explodes. These two men are incapable of ever stopping. All they know how to do is turn a civilized sport into World War III, as they recently did in Detroit

RECALLING THE RESPECTIVE careers of The Sheik and George “The Animal” Steele reads like an historical narrative of civil insurrection or bulky FBI files.

Riots. Bloodshed. Men hospitalized. Women carried from arenas on stretchers. Civilian petitions to ban them. Police investigations.

But nothing either madman has ever done compared with a recent night in Detroit. It was shocking. Gory. An unbelievable riotous wrestling bout.

“I don’t like him, hey him, the guy, him, The Sheik,” hissed Steele in the locker before the match. Steele nibbled on a leather belt.

“Sheik, him, that’s right, that's his name, The Sheik, him, the guy I wrestle. I don’t like him, why? Who. Who do you mean? Yeah, him, The Sheik. He is mean. He calls me names. I don’t like when people call me names. I don’t like that. He is mean. Hey, him, I will crush him until he cannot move. I will nibble and gnaw on his body until all he has, who, him, hey? All he has are his eyeballs and then I will eat them too, yum, yum, eyeballs, yummy.”

Steele bit off a chunk of leather and chomped.

[Was this the most violent match in wrestling history? Little else could be expected after promoters decided to lock George Steele and The Sheik inside a steel cage. Steele has Sheik almost beaten, but loses concentration when he takes time out to taste his own blood (above). Sheik is in agony as Steele crushes the Arabian into the metal barrier (left).]

The Sheik would not even condescend to make remarks about Steele. His reply to any and all questions consisted of turning those dark Arabic eyes toad the questioner and dropping down his jaw to permit spittle to fall upon his chin. Then he turned away, muttering in a foreign dialect and spitting into his locker.

Any wrestling arena vibrates with tense anticipation before an exciting match. But this night in Detroit, there was an added spectator out front. Not anxiousness. Nor anticipation. But fear.

The history of Steele and The Sheik alarms most wrestling people. Many people fear that someday they will end a match with their opponent taken out of the arena and to the morgue. Forever. They go far beyond brutality. Far beyond violence. They attack like subhuman beasts intent on mindless description.

That is what stirs the crowd. Fear. And, since fear often attracts and repels, the spectators gathered in Detroit shifted in their seats, wondering how they would keep their eyes on the match, wondering how they couldn’t watch.

[Sheik’s face betrays his fear as Steele is about to take a big bite out of the Arabian madman’s leg. Note Steele licking his lips in preparation for his between-meal snack.]

Very quickly into the match, the two men, and we use that world loosely, clawed and bit and punched and kicked like insane animals. The crowd cheered, booed, applauded, gasped. They did everything befitting a huge arena captivated by a glimpse into primitive behavior.

When action spilled out of the ring, bounced off the ring apron and into the front rows, the crowd cheered, screamed, ran away. But all those who ran away eventually paused and looked back. Sheik and Steele continued battling using everything tied down and not tied down as a weapon in their savage struggle.

Blood spewed out of massive cuts on their faces, Still they battled. Still the crowd cheered and jeered, leaping to their feet, waving fists, shouting out encouragement or distaste. But no one looked away.

Eventually the referee had to halt the war. A double disqualification was declared. The men were sent back, half limping, growling to their respective dressing rooms. And the crowd hooted, cheered, booed, applauded. Still they didn’t stop looking.

[Above: The Animal bellows in pain as The Sheik grabs a handful of back hair and pulls. Below: A desperate Sheik takes the high ground in a vain attempt to escape this brutal match.]

Steele forced away attempts to stitch his wounds. He sat for a long while, started drinking disinfectant. H sat for a long while, staring off. “I want to kill that man, no, want to kill him, hey? Him. Hate him,” muttered Steele. “Why? Dunno, just do, just hate him, just want him dead. Dunno? Call me names, say things, act mean to me, hey, dunno. Now? Kill now, no, too tired, too weary, no longer fight now, hurt too much, someday soon, again, will kill again.” The Sheik maintained an impassive facade while his personal Arab physician attended to him. He wouldn’t answer any questions. All he did was stare.

Mr. Nanny

Former WWF and WCW Champion Hulk Hogan stars as a down on his luck former pro wrestler hired as a bodyguard for 2 young children who are determined to make his life misery until he quits. The unlikely childminder is forced to become an even more unlikely hero when his sibling charges are kidnapped.

During flashback sequences the Hulkster is seen being beaten down in the ring by a gang of wrestlers portrayed by WWE legends Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, George "The Animal" Steele, Afa The Wild Samoan, The Ugandan Giant Kamala and Brutus Beefcake under his Zodiac persona.

Featured Wrestlers:

Hulk Hogan as Sean Armstrong

Brutish Beefcake as wrestler

George Steele as wrestler

Afa as wrestler

Kamala as wrestler

Jim Neidhart as Wrestler

Wrestle Rating:

3.5/5 oversized tutus

An enjoyable but tacky family comedy that leans heavily into the slapstick humour of the Home Alone movies. The WWE Hall Of Famer may not be a great actor but is really likeable in this role especially in his interactions with the young children.
