My national champion insists on wrestling a bear for the title (It’s a source of contention, but he won a stipulation). Any suggestions from personal experience for selecting and preparing a bear? A particular species? Do they like tights? Also, are FPW fans picky when it comes to bear battles? Do I need the bear to “pace the match “? What’s a natural bear ukemi?
Thank you.

Bears sell early and maul late in matches(everyone knows this). They can climb trees so I assume top rope moves are a go.

I also chose a female because males can weigh up to 900 lbs and this national champion, insane as he is, really gets the crowd to pop. |

This is a good, good-looking question. Handsome question.
For my wrestling bear (Horrible Hank, a brown bear), I had him mostly doing wear-down holds and leg tackles, just mostly using his size and strength in lieu of actual skill. He'll go with the flow in the early and late match bits, but puts up more resistance midway in to heighten drama. He doesn't maul or bite people. Hank is a pro, after all, you don't want to be working with just any random bear someone loaded up and brought to the arena; there might be children present.
I actually started with Terrible Ted as a template and built from there.

I always imagined a bear fight club in a barbed wire cage.
Now a bear battle royal inside a barbed wire exploding ring is possible.

I was thinking all the bear types. Grizzly, polar, Kodiak, black, Panda, brown and Asiatic Bear. Probably missed a few, but you get the point.

It doesn't matter what the species or ukemi is. The fact of the matter is that this bear will be in a squared circle.
A bear performing in a circle for a carnival form of entertainment is no different than performing for a circus.
You slap a tutu and a double LOTATED moonsault on that motherfucker and the rest will be gravy, baby.

If it starts counting down from 4, look the fuck out.

My promotion’s concern is that the national champion, if he loses, intends to give the bear the title, even though the bear isn’t signed. Our national champion is certifiably insane, but very principled about it.

Gotta get a trained bear, man. You need a professional. Also probably a handler or team thereof outside the ring just in case things get out of hand. You want the bear to put on a good show and make the champ feel good, but you also want one who knows how to take a dive when the time is right.
