George The Animal Steele was actually a very intelligent person, and had been a school teacher at one point. Like most of those guys he could turn his wrestling personna on and off whenever he wanted to. That whole thing about eating the turnbuckles was part of his act.There have been other developmentally challenged folks in wrestling, George the Animal Steele wasn't all there and neither was Norman the Lunatic
Blah blah blah. No one wants to hear itWrestling itself is a gimmick for morons and children to slurp up.
If you are an adult and enjoy wrestling check for brain damage.
It's soap opera. Think about it, larger than life characters, lots of makeup and costumes, lots of over-the-top drama, story lines crafted, played out, then dropped. Alliances built, betrayed and shattered. New characters introduced; old ones retired. The comparisons go on and on.Wrestling itself is a gimmick for morons and children to slurp up.

The beauty of it is they get away with it. And they are athletes with most in good shape to do what they do.It's soap opera.

In nxt this little Asian woman dresses like a baby and acts like a baby and incorporates being a baby into her moves. Like she hugged the leg but instead of a painful leg lock she fell asleep like it was a pillow. And if she gets hit she gets angry like a baby. LolHulkHogan, Ultimate Warrior was all gimmick. Not a lot of moves in their matches just a lot of posing then one or two moves.
I have seen a lot of bad gimmicks over the decades. The Boogeyman comes to mind and when I was a kid an opening match wrestler dressed up as his low-rent version of Satan. It was awful but we kids were supposed to BOO! so we did.
