This is a nice tribute video



teary @ 00:43 "I held your hand through all of these years" as Paul Bearer holds the Undertaker's hand to help him up. A father figure/son bond moment

The first day I walked into the what was at the time "Southern Extreme Wrestling" pro wrestling school the guys took one look at me and said "You're gonna be our version of Paul Bearer!". I worked as "M. Balm" for a couple of years after that.

Mr. William Moody, though we never met, it truly was a great honor to portray a character based on your character of Paul Bearer. Rest In Peace "Uncle Paul"

That tribute's Evanescence song was a brilliant fit. Awesome tribute. The 00:43 moment was beautiful. R.I.P Paul Bearer, you will be missed.

My all-time favourite manager.

RIP Paul Bearer

Alabama-based website AL.com has published the obituary on Bill Moody, famously known in WWE as Paul Bearer. The legendary manager passed away on Tuesday

"William loved his kids and grandkids more than life itself. His second love was his profession," the obituary states. "Little did he know that his mortician background would lead him to one of the biggest characters in the history of Professional Wrestling."

Reading the brief story in the UK paper Daily Star, it stated that Moody weighed a staggering 500 pounds at the time of his death!

Probably the biggest loss to the wrestling world since Macho Man; his career feats and accomplishments are up there with the best-of-the-best. Paul Bearer had literally dozens of amazing and classic moments I can remember. One I remember clearly was when he returned in early 2000 during a match between the Rock and HHH and the crowd went absolutely nuts. We walked out through the entrance and was cheered like very few ever are in the business. His popularity went beyond the guy he walked behind; he earned the respect and admiration we all remember him for and was a true wrestling legend.
