I was in bar many years ago and they had one of those wrestling bears, a black bear...I forgot what the challenge was...something like stand up for 5 minutes against the bear something like that. The bear was muzzled and presumably declawed. A big dude went against the bear. No contest. The bear was barely budged. The guy was getting the crap beat out of him just on the muscle power of the bear itself. It was like a 3 year old trying to beat up a full grown adult...literally.

Ditto. I walked into a bar deep in the UP bush. The bar had a stuffed bear sitting on a barstool. I bet the bartender I could wrestle the bear to the floor in five seconds. The bartender said, Go try. I lost.
Long story short, they had the bear tied to the barstool with the barstool bolted to the floor. Moral of the story - always bring an adjustable wrench or socket set to a bear in a bar wrestling match.
