- His trademark of ripping apart ring turnbuckles and throwing the stuffing in his opponent's face started during a match with Chief Jay Strongbow in the late 1960s. According to WWE Raw magazine, Steele recalled that the match was not going well when he looked at the turnbuckle and got an idea.
- His lisp (another one of his trademarks) was the result of a childhood football accident, in which he nearly lost his tongue.
- When not wrestling, was a coach and physical education teacher at his alma mater in suburban Detroit. During the school year, he wrestled at various arena shows across Michigan.
