Curious of anyone would know who this person might be.

Playing 2/5 NL cash game at the WSOP on Sat night about 2am a rather surly fellow got into our game. Looked as though he'd been digging a ditch for the past 5 hours and rambled on several times about being "in the poker media before poker hit it big" and how he "had to go talk to Andy [Bloch]" about some hush hush arrangements for something...

He had a rather sloppy tattoo of the words "The Animal" on his left forearm.

Gave away a few hundred to the table and left...

LOL. I saw George The Animal once. He was sitting in the stands at the Pontiac Silverdome watching the Michigan State High School Football Championships. I went up to him and got his autograph. I was only 9 or 10 years old and pretty surprised to find out that he was just a normal guy. "The Animal" destroyed all of my "wrestling is real" fantasies that day, hehe.

I believe he was actually a school teacher.

I believe he was actually a school teacher.

When not wrestling, was a coach and physical education teacher at his alma mater in suburban Detroit.
