Early yearsBeier was born on a farm near Goodsoil, Saskatchewan, about four hours north of Saskatoon. He played briefly with the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonauts, and, after a period of traveling, settled in Calgary, the home of Stu Hart and his Stampede Wrestling promotion. Beier was introduced to pro wrestling by Gerd Topsnik, a door-to-door cookware salesman who wrestled part-time for Hart. Beier recalled: "I told [Topsnik], 'All right, I'll buy your pots and pans if you get me started in wrestling.' He started taking me to Stu's." It is unclear when Beier changed his legal surname to Carson.[1] Professional wrestling careerSweetan held numerous titles over his career. He enjoyed some success with the National Wrestling Alliance and wrestled with Freddie Prosser who went under the name Freddie Sweetan in Canada for Stampede Wrestling. Sweetan and Terry Gibbs defeated Fabulous Freebirds for the NWA Central States Tag Team Championship.[12] He also wrestled for the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico. In the WWC he defeated King Tonga for the WWC Puerto Rico Heavyweight Championship.[13] Sweetan was in the first ever WWC Anniversary. He played himself in the movie The Wrestling Queen in 1975. Sweetan wrestled many notable wrestlers during his career such as Rufus R. Jones, Buzz Tyler, Randy Rose, Ted DiBiase, Bill Watts, Frank Hoy, Butch Reed, Adrian Adonis, Tully Blanchard, and Jesse Ventura. "Dr. Death" Steve Williams described him as a "very, very tough man."[3] Sweetan was known for causing riots in arenas due to his heel antics, and was an influence on Shawn Michaels.[1] Post-wrestling workFollowing his pro wrestling career, Sweetan worked as an air conditioning maintenance supervisor, particularly in large apartment buildings.[1] Legal issuesIn 1990, Sweetan was convicted of the sexual assault of his daughter, Candace. He also faced a separate charge of non-payment of child support.[1] Sweetan stopped checking in with police in 2000, after which he was located and deported back to his native Canada.[4] CriticismOn WWE's Legends of Wrestling in 2009, longtime industry personality Jim Ross stated that he "didn't like" Sweetan and "didn't want to be around him", describing him as a "miserable human being".[5] Ross later called him a "bully",[6] and told how Danny Hodge once tortured Sweetan as payback for being out of line.[1] In his 2012 autobiography, Jim Duggan also referred to Sweetan as a "bully" and a "real piece of garbage".[7] Leo Burke called him "easy to work with" in the ring but "kind of lazy", while Ed "Colonel DeBeers" Wiskoski said of Sweetan: "I wasn't a fan of his... from being a locker-room thief to just among other things, just an asshole."[1] Sweetan's ex-wife Rebecca commented: "He's a waste of skin as far as I'm concerned... He fried his brain [with drugs], deserted his children, abused them emotionally, physically, sexually, mentally."[1] Personal lifeSweetan met an Iowa woman, Rebecca Jane Terhune, at a Kansas City club in 1969 and the couple were married in Los Angeles in 1971. They had four children: Candace (born 1971), Christopher (born 1974), Cassandre ("Cathy", born 1976) and Carson (born 1978). Sweetan also had one child to another woman.[1] Sweetan deserted his family on October 15, 1985; he had been having an affair with a ring rat and drug dealer. Rebecca divorced Sweetan in 1986.[1] DeathSweetan died at a Nanaimo, British Columbia nursing home on February 10, 2017. He had been suffering from diabetes, memory problems and mobility issues.[1] Championships and accomplishments
