Hairy Wrestler Goes on Rampage, Killing One
From PWInsider:

In a sad story, The Associated Press reported today that an Ohio man was mauled and killed by a bear used in wrestling stunts while he and the bear's owner were feeding it.

The bear was outside of its cage, according to comments Capt. James Drozdowski of the Lorain County Sheriff's Office gave to the AP. There was no word as to why the bear became aggressive.

Brent Kandra, 24, passed away this morning due to injuries suffered in the mauling. Kandra worked for Sam Mazzola, who maintained several bears on his property and offered the chance to wrestle bears at the Cleveland Sport, Travel & Outdoor show. The practice had come under fire in recent years but Mazzola refused to end it.

Traveling wrestling bears were commonplace as a special attraction in the territory era of professional wrestling, although they haven't been used in many, many, many years.
