It has been reported by PWInsider that Mark Sterling, Bear Bronson, and Bear Boulder have all signed contracts with AEW. Previously the trio was working on Tier 0 deals which meant they received a signing bonus and exclusivity in terms of the first option. Now though, they are full AEW wrestlers under a base contractor agreement.
Last year he appeared on AEW as MJF’s lawyer and lost a match to Jon Moxley, and now he is aligned with Jade Cargill. The 38-year-old began wrestling in 2002 but stepped away from the squared circle after less than a dozen matches. He’d return in 2015 to wrestle on the independents, and up until his AEW debut, his most high-profile appearance was for WWE in 2019, where he worked as an enhancement talent against The Viking Raiders. Additionally, some fans may know him from Matt Cardona and Brian Myers’ Major Wrestling Figure Podcast.
Bear Bronson and Bear Boulder compete as the tag team Bear Country, and while they have wrestled on Dynamite, they more regularly appear on AEW DArk. They began teaming on the indies in 2017, and before wrestling for AEW, worked promotions such as Beyond Wrestling and CZW. Bear Bronson started wrestling in 2015 and is aged 25, while Bear Boulder debuted in 2012 and is aged 31.
