from Pro Wrestling History Nerds Hosted by pwhistorynerds
He was a wrestler, he was a con artist, he was a tackler of bears, he was a drunken crime baron, and possibly...a murderer? This is the "Are you kidding me? This can't be real!" story of a man who pushed the credulity of wrestling to the breaking point, until the press was forced to out wrestling as a predetermined scam. It's the story of Thiebaud Bauer!
