Steele looked like he was always having fun inside and outside the ring. In reality, he was plagued with so many health concerns, this was rarely the case. Not only was he dyslexic, Steele suffered from something called Crohn's disease, a bowel disease with no cure.
Because of the same, he was forced to retire from the ring and become part of the WWE staff as a road agent. A devout Christian, the man found respite from his ailments in religion. We will remember him very fondly. Rest in peace, sir!
