Terrible Ted The Wrestling Bear’s Wild Run Across North America

$0.99

Terrible Ted the Wrestling Bear had a near 20-year career across North America – from the Hart family porch to a county jail cell.

Description

At 7 feet tall and around 700 pounds, Terrible Ted the Wrestling Bear was an imposing sight. Equally remarkable was his near 20-year professional wrestling career, which saw this declawed, detoothed black bear booked and promoted like any other territorial headliner. He once lived under the legendary Hart family’s porch in Calgary, and at one point, he even spent nights in a county jail cell. With hindsight, the image of a muzzled, surgically altered animal being marched into rings for laughs and ticket sales raises more serious questions than promoters ever admitted.
