1940

Robert Carson (born Robert Beier; July 4, 1940 – February 10, 2017 ), better known by his ring name Bob Sweetan, was a Canadian professional wrestler.

Sweetan was nicknamed "Bruiser" and "Mr. Piledriver", the latter in reference to his finishing maneuver.

Beier 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.
