I’m ashamed to admit it but seeing this painting made me think of George “the animal” Steele for the first time in years. I don’t know if he’s still alive or off eating turnbuckles in the sky but either way a greened tongue madman remains one of the best wrestling gimmicks of all time. This reminds me of my 5th birthday when my brand new George stretchy wrestling figure popped, spilling about a pound of baby powder (or whatever potentially harmful mix they used to fill kids toys with) all over the dessert table. The commotion helped distract from the lame clown named Popcorn.
