Tracy Smothers vs A Muzzleless Bear

[chriscarter62hdn]

I met tracy smothers a few years ago, he seemed like a nice guy, now i hate his guts the cruel fuck.

[whoisthatguy10001]

The bear's like "I won. He ran away."

[batt114114]

in soviet Russia dis man BIG hero like superman.

[richinvestmentbanker]

I'm the bear in the video and I'm sorry to inform you all that I took a dive that day. It made a lot of people a lot of money.

[LambChowder1]

werestlinge.

[09vendeta09]

This Bear has more thechnic then John cena and Hulk hogan

[DaMostEnigmatic]

unless you're zangief, don't wrestle bears

[appleipodtouch2g]

goes from wrestling bears to delivering pizzas hes done it all. but its still cool has shit when he gives me my pizza

[paulpeartsmith]

I hope he bites his head off.

[matrix4022]

Absolutely sickening.

[flipwits2]

I would watch ESPN if this was on all the time.

[RMilvae]

I knew that would suck and it did.

[ThatIndianGuy7116]

@RMilvae Hell, Tracy Smothers knew it would suck too

[shaggydo82]

Why didn't the bear use a chair!? lol.

[MeThinks995]

Kuma VS. King

[AlexDCl]

I met Tracy once and he has hands like a bear!

[ChrisRKO32]

That bear has more wrestling ability than Khali. HAHAHA IM SO FUNNY AND CLEVER THUMBS ME UP I'M AN ATTENTION WHORE.

[KWLization]

iam not dissing anything,but i just dont understand why they had the idea to wrestle a bear?

[AlexDCl]

Spectacle, publicity or something.

[Lamefunday]

That's Kuma!

[doddsino]

550 lbs of supple muscle

[Machainedecatch]

How did they get a Bear on a Ring ?

[colipoo]

Mark Henry was really nimble back then!

[dkennedy31326]

i wish they still did this kinda stuff.

[To0t]

that man is fucking strong

[floyd863]

OMFG I NEVER KNEW ABOUT BEAR WRESTLING UNTIL NOW AND I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS FRICKIN AWESOME !!!!!!!!!

[Yutxz]

Maybe it would have been a different outcome if the bear was actually larger than the person...

"Yeah haha dude I just wrestled a baby bear, AND WON"

Sounds much less impressive.

[JoBo6772]

@Yutxz outweighed him by twice Travey's weight, isnt that enough of a size difference for you LOL

[crackface5]

Bears are so stupid. Owned!!!

[hustleking17]

That bear wrestles better than Batista.

[hustleking17]

That bear had more wrestling ability than Hulk Hogan in his prime.

[Bastiest]

Wow, he actually got that bear on it's back for a second.

Impressive indeed.

[treetoptop]

Earlier today a bear snap mared me into a berry bush, and then gave me a wedgie.

[blueferret1978]

Undertaker v gentle ben @ Wrestlemania 28 (19-01)

[Truthguy2121]

fucking cruel,seriously,this just isnt right.

[ooOmegaSupremeoo]

@Truthguy2121

Yes, it is right. There's nothing wrong or cruel about it. Quit being such an animal loving hippie.

[birdland]

Bears are natural wrestlers! Of course! I bet one day he marched straight into the wrestling ring, chained himself to the pole and said "I ain't leavin til I've wrestled some half naked dudes!"

[foghelmut]

i hate single channel audio

[ECWnWWF]

that was a black bear, not a grizzly, right? They should've used an adult Polar Bear

[SyHopeful]

@ECWnWWF so the fact that it is neither black nor the fact that the commentator specifically said "grizzly bear" answered your question?

[kv01010]

thats why alot of wrestlers say tracey smothers is the toughest wrestler lol

[marshrandy101]

That's just straight up mean, the bear looks playfull at first until the headlock takedown, I would have laughed like feck if it would of mauled smothers!

[ooOmegaSupremeoo]

@marshrandy101

"I would have laughed like feck if it would of mauled smothers!"

No, you wouldn't. Why would you laugh at something like that? Damn tree hugger.

[ooOmegaSupremeoo]

@marshrandy101

"That's just straight up mean"

So, what if that was "mean"? They were wrestling. What do you expect Smothers to do? Play patty cake with the bear.

[KYExtemper]

Try this today and PETA would sue your ass.

[bluegrassman776]

gordan points out that the bear is a natural , and doesnt know alot of holds. this is great lol

[ruaddd]

no wonder why everyone says tracy smothers could beat the shit out of them

[BoHoVsGolf]

i think the bear knows a figure 4 ... they just gonna keep it a secret ...

[reflex0r]

I WOULD HAVE SLAPPED A 'DIAMOND CUTTER' ON THAT BEAR OUT OF THE GATES!!!

[seaninboise]

this is the coolest thing ive ever seen

[ZombieEater2010]

@hookhoax then he proceeds to claw off your fucking face

[munk237]

How can you pin a bear. He has no shoulders. Tracy is the man tho. Worked many a show with him

[juggaloj90]

holy fuck this is pretty awesome

[crackwipe1]

this what i want my brother to do next week out in te woods



[creatureofthenight1]

Hm... Bear for the next world champion? I'd like to see anyone toss him out of the Royal Rumble!

[hookhoax]

That bear is so cute! I want to give him a big hug!!

[coopiero1]

that was insane that is the first ive even heard of them doing this.the commentator was awsome "they instinctively know a snapmare"

"all of the basic holds come naturally to them" does that include a body slam?full nelson? honestly insane

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

I remember this back in the day. Wrestling a live bear was a special attraction since the 1950's.

[1steve726]

ONLY...AND THE 1STEVE726 MEANS ONLY..GORDON SOLIE could call a catch as catch can match with a freakin bear..A TRUE LEGEND.Mr Solie was the best and second aint really all that close....as a side note...Mr Smothers is pretty much a bad-ass as well

[HXCpr0n]

Pfft this guy is no Zangief

[theunscarredone]

Tumblin' Towerin' Tweener Terrific Terrible Tracy Smothers! God I love Tracy Smothers

[Bkamlem]

don't fuck with tracy smothers

[rick187053]

Only Solie could make crap like this seem relevent.

[treetoptop]

There is the master of wrestling announcing - Solie - and then there is everyone else. He is beyond compare, a consummate professional. I've never read anyone who has ever had anything bad to say about him. RIP Mr. Solie, thanks for the great memories.

[Israelmustsurvive]

Get the chair!

A TLC match with Bears!

[dexterholland916]

Was this a title match?

[RichPlaystation]

This goes into my top 3 'Wrestler vs Animal' matches of all time, along side Matsunaga vs a Crocodile, and Abdullah Kobashi vs an Octopus, both on youtube, look them up!

[yohswa]

i think this is stupid, a bear isnt suposed to do this things, humans are sucha retards...and this man suposed to be dead cause a bear got claws and teeth and should have killled this stupid morron long time ago

[CombatSportFan]

@yohswa Like Gordon Solie said, bears are natural wrestlers. To the bear, this wasn't anything dangerous or a situation where he should be afraid. He was just playing with Smothers. If Smothers had actually harmed him, then yeah the bear would have ripped his throat out. But the bear saw this as just time to play around because they naturally do this with each other out in the wild.

[OldSchoolRasslin]

This is when wrestling was taken seriously, before Vince McMahon took over and made it a laughing stock. In the old days it truly was the "Sport of Kings".

[TetsuoYagami]

That's one cute bear.

[suckyamomma30]

The man leg sweeped a bear!A BEAR!!

[Showmemusic]

why is he fighting susan boyles?

[TranqPJ]

"The bear very quickly countered that..."

"They (bears) don't know some of the finer holds such as a figure four..."

Solie is unbelievable! He will always be the barometer by which ALL announcers can be measured.

[CombatSportFan]

@TranqPJ He took what would have been a goofy ass gimmick in WWE and made it not just believable, but made it freaking legitimate by documenting that bears are actually wrestlers by nature since that's how they play. God bless that man.

[elvishskills]

@TranqPJ

i take issue with the claim that the bears don't know some of the finer holds like the figure four, i've been wrestling rabid bears in the woods near my house for years now and just last week i was forced to tap out to a mean two legged boston crab, applied by a several hundred pound grizzly named George.

[MichaelMyers87]

Whats funny is that the bears at least 6times strong then the man, good thing the bear was trained.

[talibanexpress]

to bad the bear is declawed

[MagnesDrachen13]

It still has teeth...and its a bear!

[PlumBenny]

That was amazing! One of the best matches ive seen in ages, why isnt this a national sport? in fact, gorillas, chimps you name it, put them in a steel cage to fight men for our entertainment. Fuck the PC crowd.

[thebeautifulman69]

i love tracy smothers to but this is really pitiful..especially to hear the great gordon solie having to announce this match or whatever it suppose to be.

[ECOOL76]

Tracy is the man! This is so un PC now.

[HugeDickNick]

they should have cena wrestler a bear, just make the bear hasnt eaten anything prior to the match.

[murdock2k8]

yeah, and cover him in meat, that would make it interesting

[MeThinks995]

hhh too

[thebeautifulman69]

this kind of shit is what makes wrestling a joke.

[frompdiggity]

Yah right, this is before "sports entertainment"....where nobody talked about what happens on the inside of the business.

You can watch people writing incest angles, giving birth to a hand or the Kiss my ass club all you want.....

I'll take Tracy Smothers.

[kevinhardy]

they used to have bear wrestling at the LEC, those were the days

[assas1n101]

damn that bear is a better wrestler than john cena

[timabad]

HAHAHA is so true! haha

[IronicusPaladin]

@assas1n101 hahahahahahaha fucking so true

[ShawnVanAngle]

@assas1n101 blaaahahahahaha....true.

[jb0609]

@assas1n101

Not really. Hating Cena is so 2006.

[mmscott9]

@jb0609 2006 - 2011 and beyond

[dswpoodles]

How dumb! Let the bear lose! See the guy die! I weigh 104 lbs. & wrestle a bear without a chain. It was big, really did weigh over 500 lbs. He never even tried to hurt me. It was playing with me, just like it did with its' foster mom and dad. It could have easily broken me up and ate me for dinner. GET REAL! They should be sent to jail for animal cruelty! Where is PETA when you need thme. Grease this guy up and throw him in Alaska with the real bears, polar moms!

[ShaneMullaney]

Bears don't know how to do the figure four LOL

[xismxist]

just for a comparison, THIS is a 550 lbs bear: watch?v=38q2fDtDDvM

[TehKateMonster]

im so silly

kewl! eU

[cwilson2K8]

my god, you'd have to be insane to wrestle the bear!

Mind you, at the Gathering of the Juggalos, there was a man wrestling a gorilla!

But that being said, Tracy Smothers is one crazy mo'fo!

[williamtyndale]

Tracy Smothers is just that good. Normally a bear will dominate, but Tracy kept taking its legs out and getting it on its back. If the ref hadn't counted slow Tracy would have had the pin.

[mikethebike7]

the bear is easily playing with the guy. If the man had any chance or prevailing, or even surviving, the bear wouldn't be chained. Notice the bear doesn't even try to resist being thron down, because he apparently has no fear of being pinned. The bear, if he took a mind to it, could end this guys match, and maybe career,possibly his life- in less than thirty seconds. notice also, the bear never retreats, always advancing. It looks to me like the bear is having fun, in all honesty.

[Madmarlol]

Of course, a bear is many many times stronger than a person, even these body building wrestlers. If it became enraged it could kill you in one blow to the head.

[TheDomi06]

THAT SUCKS!!!

[spockles]

the bear still wrestles better than lex luger did

[nordhorny]

550 Ibs ? my ass

[xismxist]

exacly! i would say 250 lbs

[nordhorny]

Yeah ! I know they exaggerate heights and weights in wrestling but this is silly ! Claiming 550lbs for that bear is a joke !

[loIwtf]

even if the bear was trained i wouldnt try to piss it off like tracy did

[whitewolf1142]

That is a trained adol. bear... Heh...

[gvader]

Obviously it was a trained bear or Tracy Smothers would have been ripped to shreads by it! That would have been fucked up!

[daredevilpre]

That bear looked like it was having fun. I would like to sleep on it, because it looks cuddly and warm.

I am nine years old.

[flipsiderunner]

That is the best response ever.

[WarlordYamada]

AGREED! 9 year old kids+bears=youtube ratings

[RobGrayson28]

What's funny is, the bear is still a better wrestler then Great Khali

[psicofreak667]

Daaaaamn... no wonder JBL wouldn't accept Tracy Smother's challenge to fight him.

(JBL attacked Blue Meanie legit at ECW One Night Stand, and Smothers challenged JBL to a fight over it, for anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about.)

[wrestlingtruth]

Poor bear - I thought this would be a man in a suit!

[Beltmark]

"Bears know snap mares, but dont know the finer holds such as a figure four..." LMAO!

Solie is a f*cking tool. He is THE most overrated voice man in wrestling history...his voice is so boring it should have been bottled and sold as a cure for insomnia.

[ieatmyownhair]

So I guess you're more of a Don West fan, huh?

[dsriggs]

YOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUVVVVVVEEEEEE­EEE GGOGOOOOTTTT TTTTOOOO BEEEEEE KIIIIIIDDDIIIIINNNNNGGGG MMMMEEEEEE!!!!! *head explodes*

[kish8955]

Whoa. Dude - it's a wrestler vs. a f'n bear! The fact that Solie called this match the way he did - as seriously as he did - should show you why he is a Hall of Fame broadcaster. The business has changed a lot in the last 20, 30 years, but for what the business was when Solie was calling the action, there was none better. Ask Jim Ross. Ask Joey Styles. ASK THE TED DIBIASE! ASK THE ANDRE THE GIANT! ASK THE KURT ANGLE! THE DAN GABLE! THE BRAD RHEINGANS! (okay, couldn't resist)...

[Amr3561]

Greatest post of all time.

[Inzaghi50]

I'd love to have seen the bear put Tracy Smothers in a figure four - that would be entertaining!

[ieatmyownhair]

Tracy humbled that bear.

[geldofpunk]

It's awesome how Solie is commentating. I love how he is treating the bear as an actual wrestler!

[noktiis]

The bear's an animal? Tracy Smothers is a god damn animal!

[BigMobe]

That bear sure knows how to take a dive.

[BIGCHILL3993]

Fight that bear in the wild and see who wins--jackasses!!!

[torontoismine]

the bear is still better then cena YEA i just had to say it, well its true.

[WhiteFu]

That bear is a talentless hoss

[gaborfat123]

The bear get very-very strong sleeping pill.

[TLHobo]

Wrestling as we know it partially comes from carnivals of the post-Civil War era. Wrestling bears were common attractions up until probably around the time of this video.

Bear baiting was a popular sport even at the time of Shakespeare... Infact it was one of theatres nearest rivals.

Is it wrong? Not for the time.

[sarasf78]

hilarious

[patch555]

Why the fuck can't the bear do a Figure 4? He SUCKS.

[Protowhilst]

that bear should be playing in the woods with his friends :(

[tswyd]

i agree that this was a dumb idea, all and all, but, really, (aside form the leg sweep thing he was doing) do you think he was really hurting the bear? i'm not gonna say the bear was having a blast, because he was probably pissed, but it looked like when 2 bears wrestle and roll around and stuff... only, in nature, they usually don't have guys with chains restricting them from performing their moves... and it's very rare to see a bear in a singlet... an aqua one, anyway.

[tswyd]

my mistake, the singlet's not aqua. it's more of a periwinkle. either way, a bear wouldn't be caught dead in that thing.

[tswyd]

oh, yeah. and it's teeth and claws were removed. that IS fucked. but, the wrestling itself- not such a big thing.

[lancedeboyle]

twsd, i suspect you just wanted to type the word "periminkle". casn't say i blame you tho, it's a cool word, i like "peuce" myself haha

[tswyd]

haha

[krnman93]

this is fucking gay, this is animal cruelty. he can't bite, he can't use his claws. Also, humans can stand, bears can't stand up for a while and use their legs to trip like humans can. What a fucking rigged match, but the bear is still a beast.

[wihargo]

people kill bears every fall for their own entertainment. Really, its kind of a moot issue since this probably is one of the last bear wrestling matches.

[Trav619]

r u joking me that was funny as hell

[SpookyHelder]

So if the bear killed him... would that be human cruelty?

[babyshamble1987]

fuckin disgusting

[jcasaurus]

Where the fuck is PETA in this bullshit. This makes me fucking sick. Stupid fucking rednecks.

[BlairSandwich]

Bears don't know how to do a figure-four-leg-lock, I wonder if they know how to do a Scorpion-Leg-Lock or the Sharp Shooter?

[Quentin242451]

Tracy whooped that bear's ass!

[666nonamesleft666]

i love the commentating<best part

[toophatpoyo]

now i love wrestling. but there are things that i just cant agree with. one of them being animal cruelty.

[mrwash]

So thats what they mean when they say, " Dont help me, help the bear".lol

[HurtingYourFeelings]

That bear was pretty tiny though.

I've seen bears 7-8 feet tall and almost 1000 lbs. Those 400 lb bears are fairly lightweight.

[akakabuto813]

They should of let the bear loose and watch it eat that crakers' sorry ass.

[ftamagician]

Gordon Solie was the BEST...he could make anything seem better...even this!! If there's pro wrestling in Heaven, you know they have Gordon doing the announcing!!

[bonscott55]

should of body slammed it !!!

[jcnava15]

That Bear got OWNED

[chaubii]

Owned? Let see him wrestle a grizzle that hasn't been train and not on a leash

[jcnava15]

Hmm....I like where you are going with this.

[lttlbear1]

or that hasn't been de-clawed, if he had claws that guy's shoulder's would have been ripped to shreds

[michaelxdragon]

all the ppls who do that should die and the weslers should fucking die leave the bear alone

[fuckfootbal07]

that is American sport...shame

[popogijo]

agreed, americans should stick to real sports like cock-fighting, bull-fighting, horse-fighting, etc., like the civilized countries do

[S1587915G]

Hey, they should like get a dozen more people to be inside the ring and running around Smothers and the bear so they can block away more of our view of the action. I really love it when all those guys keep placing their butts between you and all the hot wrestling so you can't see what's going on. Yeah, I really do.

[ReubenNinja]

Wtf... Its a human! why the hell is it fighting a bear!! thats just cruel. i think that bear should be able to scratch thats dudes eyes.

[CoBros]

If that were in the real wild with a REAL BEAR, not a TRAINED ONE. Tracy=dead

[soggynippleses]

thats so fucking stupid i hate people

[fivestarfest]

one question... was peta around at this time?

[Phranquely]

Who cares?

[JIM4741]

Ossum!

[mrpants593]

LAWLZ0RZ BEARS GO M00!

[cool70200]

grizzly bear jujitsu, he's ready for the UFC!

[Kmac2050]

Tracy is the biggest beast EVER!!!!!!!!

[eternaltoffee]

Stu Hart did this shit in the 60's....

[bumbsex69]

Hey! quit mo-lestin dat barr! dang darn barr mo-lester!

[alezarg]

Disgusting how man use other creatures for sadistic fun. Obviously this bears claws has been torn out and the roots in the paws has been burnt so that they do not grow out again. His teeth has been pulled out or run down to the flesh. How much punishment does this bear have to take in order to go in to the ring and this UNNATURAL man made fight.

[TLHobo]

Provide proof? A lot of times wrestling bears were muzzled, not in this case but in others I've seen.

[oilslinger]

that bear is an actor- a wild bear would tear him to peices

[Tyrant60]

why on earth did hey need a ref in the ring??

[steamingchud]

Is this bear a chick? I hope so 'cause I just beat it like eight times.
