Before I get into my actually thoughts, I feel it necessary to contribute something of worth to the conversation going on at hand. Anyone else remember that the last time we actually saw Paul Bearer was when Kane locked him into the storage freezer (well Orton did and then Kane kind of liked that and ran with it). Pretty morbid in hindsight when you think about it. I know this only tangibly relates to what this thread spiraled into but I don't actually care to repeat what Stopspot already said. Enough of this though.

While I understand their place in wrestling and their purpose, I never really cared for managers. You can throw out an entire catalogue of the greatest managers in the history of professional wrestling and my reaction to every single one of them will always be a resounding "meh". Besides Paul Heyman, the only person exempted from this is Paul Bearer. I just loved the character and I loved the tie in to the pasts of The Brothers Of Destruction. And pretty much all his returns were fantastic (from the ones I've seen), like when he returned at WrestleMania XX. That was my favorite part of that actually match, which isn't really a compliment but still. R.I.P.

I grew up watching the guy manager The Undertaker. I remember, that the first time I encountered him I was terrified from his character. As time went along I learned to love his persona. No one knows how hard it is for someone like me, to find out that someone who I used to grew up on, passes away. It's sad. And yes, I'm crying. And that might not make me a man, but I respect the hell out of the people I grew up watching.

Rest In Peace, William Moody!

Your crying because Paul Bearer died? jeez

I'm completely devastated by this news. I really wanted The Undertakers and Kane's last match at WM for the streak with Paul Bearer. I hope his friends and family cope with the situation very well as the world's lost a great workaholic, a great manager and a great person.

R.I.P

Come on people. All respect to Paul Bearer/ Mr. Moody. It's a sad thing and all but try not to go overboard with your reactions or debates. If you react to it more/less than others that's your opinion.

Please respect each others opinions on the matter. If someone doesn't share your exact view on this subject there isn't a need to flame or call it into question too harshly.

Wow, a pretty shocking way to start the day. As a small child the image of Paul Bearer and the Undertaker during their funeral parlour segments were creepy to say the least. He was the type of man who added so much to promos and matches with just facial expressions alone. He brought legitimacy to the Kane character right out of the gate which allowed Glen Jacobs to have a successful character for the first time in his career. The wrestling world will miss his unmistakable voice, and his passion. R.I.P William, you shall be sorely missed.

Are we really debating whether or not his family would mourn if punk insults his character? Jesus christ, R.I.P. William.
