Texas Tank Bernard was an American professional wrestler from Texas. He wrestled in the South during the 1970s. Tex decided to go to wrestle in New York about 1978,[1] including a wrestling promotion out of New York City, New York called Vega International Wrestling Promotions. The late Osvaldo Vega was the promoter for this organization.
Tex had always been big, even when he was a child.[1] He weighed 501 pounds in 1979.[2] For a large wrestler, Tex was able to move around very well in the ring. Tex also had experience in judo, jiu jitsu, and karate.[1] His finishing move in the wrestling ring was the Big Splash.[3] Tex was a babyface wrestler who was very popular with the fans. His wrestling gear usually had the letters "TTB" on his shirt and "TT Bernard" on his pants.[citation needed]
During his time with Vega International Wrestling Promotions, he had many bloody wrestling matches with wrestler Mike DiBlanco.[2] In 1979, after wrestling with Vega Promotions, Tex also wrestled with some World Wrestling Federation wrestlers including Sammy Rivera and S. D. Jones.[4]
