They say that Teddy Roosevelt was strong enough to wrestle a bear, but wrestling officials wouldn’t let Teddy into the Bear Wrestling League Union. He just wasn’t big enough to qualify for the lowest bear weight class.
Teddy tried to put on more mass, but his doctor told him that all that excess fat wouldn’t be good for his health.
And wrestling men in bear suits just wasn’t the same.
Now and then, a visitor would smuggle in a bear for him to wrestle, but the wrestling officials inspected all packages and baggage coming to the White House.
Poor Teddy.
