So weird, in all the years, this past week I youtubed the Judgement Day Taker/Kane match where Bearer turned on Kane, and I had nostalgia for the Bearer/Kane promo days...so watched a few of those amazing promos he did back then. Now he's dead.
One of the most gifted people to ever be involved in wrestling. Literally, everytime I see a manager, I always compare them to Bearer, who has always been the gold standard in my book. RIP Bearer, and thank you for entertaining me when I was a kid and providing all wrestling fans with some of the best moments in sports entertainment. |

Did not know this until today. Watch the Corentte/Bearer shoot, but I guess Paul Bearer and Sunny had massive heat with each other to the point Vince appointed Cornette to keep the peace between them. Pretty funny story that Paul tells.
Enjoy |

Absolutely tragic news.
Bearer was my favorite manager. RIP Paul Bearer. |

Really sad news. He was a huge part of The Undertaker's character, he might not have got as over as he did and achieved as much without Bearer.

His shoot with Cornette is on youtube and well worth listening to. Those two are fascinating together.

He should be in be inducted into the Paul of Fame along with Heyman and Orndorff. Come on WWE, it's a-Paul-ing he ain't in there. RIPS and high fives to him.

WWE should get a hologram of him (like the 2pac one) for Taker's entrance at Mania, would be a nice touch.

Loved Paul Bearer, he always freaked my mom out.
I would not be shocked if Punk made comment about it before Mania. |

One of the best, it doesn't even need to be said. If you think "manager" in a wrestling context, there's a good chance Paul Bearer would be the first or second you would think of. That's an icon.

I'm guessing Bret was closer to Owen and mentioned Owen because that was his brother guys...

I think you're slightly over-reading the tweet. It's an instantaneous response to some news, and probably the first thing he thought about when he heard the news was Owen. I don't think he was related to Pillman. |

RIP Paul Bearer. I heard a couple of podcasts of him, and he sound like an awesome person, like you could just approach him and talk wrestling, and he'd talk.
He is truely the last great manager in sports entertainment. Alot of great memories on this thread, and I will always remember the moments he had with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan on Prime Time Wrestling. There was some funny moments on that show. |
