More wrestling bears! Yay!

For all the fancy suits, bespoke cowboy hats, and Wall Street money that John "Bradshaw" Layfield possesses, he still looks like a man who would willingly wrestle a bear at a moment's notice.

It's not like he doesn't have previous either, as he outlined in his book "Have More Money Now" (which sounds like one of those dodgy links that your mum tells you not to click on).

The future WWE Champion writes that in a bar in Texas, a man was offering $1,500 to anyone who could put his bear on its back. Jeez JBL, we know the title of the book was "Have More Money Now", but surely there are easier ways?

Rather unsurprisingly, the challenge did not end well for Bradshaw as the bear went "berserk", attacking anyone and anything in its path. The poor beast was eventually restrained with a choke strap and JBL's life was saved.

This story serves as yet another reminder that bears are terrifying and should not be used for our entertainment.

It's also a reminder that JBL is totally bonkers.
