8 Things You Didn't Know About JBL

6. He Once Wrestled A Bear (And Lost)

If you've ever idly wondered what would happen if a hawk wrestled a bear, thankfully, JBL provided the answer.

According to his financial advice book, Have More Money Now, a young Bradshaw and his cronies alighted upon a bar in which a bear could be challenged for money, though it isn't clear whether the poor creature was complicit in the wager. Fighting bears for cash seems like pretty sketchy, downright irresponsible financial advice to me, mind, but there it is.

Anyway, the interned ursidae had the last laugh, going berserk in the direction of a terrified JBL before ripping up its boozy prison. At least, until it was thwacked with a chain to the back of the head. Layfield missed out on the $1500 kitty, but with all his charitable pursuits and millions made since, should probably stump up at least that amount towards the ethical treatment of animals. Have a bear care, John.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
