Ted the bear has proven his wrestling prowess by checking out a match from WrestleMania 9, ahead of the launch of his new TV series.
In the trailer, Ted checks out the impromptu main event that saw Hulk Hogan dethrone WWF Champion Yokozuna, mere minutes after Yokozuna had beaten Bret Hart.
While the commercial is not currently available online, you can check out some fan reactions below. Ted’s show will premiere on Peacock this Thursday.

Hogan allegedly pressured Vince McMahon to make him champion, with the idea being that he would lose to Bret that year in a ‘passing of the torch’ moment.
Hogan would instead leave before the match with Hart could happen, leaving the Hitman waiting until WrestleMania 10 before he’d be WWF Champion again.
