Anyway, regardless, with Bearer being such a huge wrestling fan, I would think that he would be perhaps both excited and humbled to know that even post mortem he gets to be a part of the show leading up to the biggest WWE event of the year.

I agree with this for sure.

Bearer's Son Outraged at RAW

I wonder what was presented to them. But yeah, that line about Bearer not waking up or something did strike me as a bit harsh but nothing to complain about.

Bearer's Son Outraged at RAW

Courtesy of prowrestling.net, the following is a text message that was sent from William Moody's son Michael to WWE regarding his posting on Facebook last night:

"Hey. I woke up in time to watch the tail end of the show. What you explained would happen happened. Which is fine. Just it was a little difficult to watch it play out. I put a message on Facebook last night saying that we approved it but it wasn't what I envisioned. That I didn't have anything to say. Well woke up this morning and that quote is being used all over 'media outlets.' For the record. I was fine w(ith) it. Was hard to watch but y'all are professionals and I trust."

It sounds stupid but surely its a tribute to how great Bearer was that they had Heyman dress like him.

Bearer's Son Outraged at RAW

Odds are they will continue to consult with the family, but in this instance I can't see how that helps or changes things much. Honestly, to me the son doesn't sound upset or anything. He says that they did give them permission, and he doesn't come right out and say they went too far, either. He says the way they presented it to the family was OK, but that it was different seeing it on TV. To me that's just a no brainer. Of course it's different when you actually see the proposed set-up taking place on TV. That gets back to @"Dolph'sZiggler" and his point of not watching the show. They knew this was going to occur, so he could have not watched it. I know even if I gave the OK for it to happen, I wouldn't want to see someone dressed up and imitating my dad, especially so soon after he passed.

I don't see anything wrong with what the son posted, but also don't necessarily understand all the hype about it I guess. He doesn't say he's outraged. He doesn't even sound that upset. It seems like he's just trying to clarify for those who wondered that yes, they gave their approval, but that it's different actually seeing it played out on TV, which as I said, to me that just makes sense.

Anyway, regardless, with Bearer being such a huge wrestling fan, I would think that he would be perhaps both excited and humbled to know that even post mortem he gets to be a part of the show leading up to the biggest WWE event of the year.

Great post. Sums up my feelings on it too.

RE: Bearer's Son Outraged at RAW

To update yesterday's post, WWE representative Adam Hopkins reached out and asked that we post the following text message that WWE officials received from Paul Bearer's son Michael Moody regarding the closing segment on Monday's RAW with CM Punk and The Undertaker:

TEXT FROM MICHAEL MOODY TO WWE:

"Hey. I woke up in time to watch the tail end of the show. What you explained would happen happened. Which is fine. Just it was a little difficult to watch it play out. I put a message on Facebook last night saying that we approved it but it wasn't what I envisioned. That I didn't have anything to say. Well woke up this morning and that quote is being used all over "media outlets". For the record. I was fine w it. Was hard to watch but y'all are professionals and I trust."

RE: Bearer's Son Outraged at RAW

Didn't he say that he didn't mind it at first? That it was just "entertainment" and "that's what William wanted"? Yeah that last one's what was expected. Surely William's looking down on this with his giddy little Paul Bearer laugh and excitedly watching WWE continue on his memory by doing what he loved doing. Oh, and he'll get one heck of a tribute at WM too

And hard to watch = good heel

So can we change this wildly misleading thread title now?

More like "Paul Bearer's son a little uncomfortable watching Raw"
