Thomas Wansaw, who wrestled as Bear Boulder, was fired by AEW recently following his arrest on January 13 in Orange County, Florida. Wansaw was charged with battery by strangulation for a domestic violence incident with his fiancé. Read the police report at PWInsider.com.
Powell’s POV: Wansaw was one-half of the Iron Savages tag team. His partner Bear Bronson took to social media to express his surprise (read his statement below). Obviously, AEW made the right call by releasing Wansaw given that he confessed to placing his foot on the victim’s neck and stating that she appeared to lose consciousness. I believe the news of Wansaw being released by AEW was initially reported by Fightful.com.
I don’t know what to say. I’m sick to my stomach. I’ve been checking in with Rainy since I found out to make sure shes ok, but I did not know the horrific details.
I’ve been on a city date with my wife for the past few hours & rn I just want to turn my phone off to be with her.
