Wrestling bears

In the 19th and first half of the 20th century it was not unusual to see wrestling matches promoted between human wrestlers and trained bears. This profile shall honor the many bears that have stepped into a wrestling ring in the past. Note that we know that the cartoon picture is taken from a different context, however all pictures of real wrestling bears have a certain unpleasant flavor about them which we would rather avoid.
