this man tied The Undertaker and Kane together as Brothers, this man made us believe that The Undertaker is immortal.. the most Respected non-wrestler in Wwe History ❤️
Ehhh, in the conversation. Most people would say that Bobby Heenan was the most respected and beloved, and for good reason. But Paul definitely deserves all the love and respect he does and ever will get. The kicker is, before he got into wrestling, he was an actual undertaker (mortician) in real life
I seen in an interview somewhere I can’t remember where but after she died he was just waiting to die too so he could be with her again so sad but I’m happy that he could find love like that
@@WilliamWiest1959 That's the very core of religion: believing in something without concrete evidence. Believing for the sake of believing. If that's nothing for you then it's nothing for you. But just let others do their thing as these others let you do your thing.
@@WilliamWiest1959 But that comment of yours carries only one content:"It's irrational to believe." Telling this to others does nothing else than sending negativity towards someone who isn't your opinion. There is absolutely no need to tell someone who believes that it's irrational - there is no information in there, no value for anyone. Just you showing someone that you believe their opinion is not as smart as yours. That's the definition of being a prick.
Bill was such a great man, always joking, loving life, when he wasn't on screen. A legend, who will be missed. I loved the holograph they had of him for Taker's retirement.
It's because of the dyed black hair, and facial hair. It just doesn't go with his complexion. He was a natural dirty blonde. There's also the chance that he actually was wearing makeup in this video too. A lot of them wear make up to look better on camera.
I must say being buried alive in cement is the last thing I would not do so having Paul here do it is the most strongest and bravest man of all we miss you Paul 😔
I admire Paul on even considering a stunt like that. Vince would have to back a Brinks truck full of money up to my house to get me to even consider some shit like that.
No wonder the pre-tape and the live show sounded so perfectly alike!! Really is sad that we lost an amazing individual like William. Like Mark Callaway always said, REST IN PEACE!!
When I was young I emailed him on his Percy Pringle website asking him how he did this and survived. He responded with, “I didn’t and now I am dead. Let’s be realistic here.” 😂
I've always wondered how they did that. Watching it on TV looked like he was buried in concrete for real. Never knew it was a stuntman. So, I guess the live audience saw something completely different.
Its amazing how much Paul showed that if the person has enough talent and passion for what they do, they can become just as big of a legend as a manager as a person can become a legend as a wrestler. Obviously Kane and the Undertaker are insanely talented and massive legends in their own right and have become that way because of their talents, determination and love for the business in so many ways, but Paul in many ways was part of the heart and soul for them individually and as a tag team as the brothers of destruction. Paul was one of the extra ingredients that made them amazing. I remember hearing Paul's voice during Wrestlemania XX and I was so excited because I started watching wrestling August 2000 so I never got to see Paul manage one of them or both of them. So I remember hoping Wrestlemania wasn't the only appearance he would make and being excited after it was clear he was going to be around for a little while. Then it was also amazing when he came back for a run as a manager for Undertaker and then Kane from 2010 to 2012. I found it unfortunate that they didn't put him in the Hall of Fame until after he passed away, he definitely deserved a spot well before his induction in 2014. Its also sad that his son Michael passed in September 2014. RIP Paul Bearer/William Alvin "Bill" Moody April 10, 1954 - March 5, 2013.
he was back in 2014 his award was received by his 2 sons and the ultimate show of respect was when the funeral bell rang & the lights went out & Taker came out and held up the urn
I want to know how they did the sewer hole drop where Kane and Stone Cold threw Paul Bearer down a man hole and sealed it. Like was it a prop hole where at the bottom was a dressing room? I've always wanted to know that one
My grandfather was working at the norfolk scope the day of the Geat American Bash, i remember him telling me about how they used a stunt double for Paul, seeing Big Show sitting on the steps outside the restaurant smoking a cig, and other wrestlers walking around the building studying their scripts.
Every time I see him talking normal it just gets me because he’s always got that creepy almost devilish voice and every time he talks normal it just gets me
I like this version of paul bearer more than the character version tbh I like his voice for some reason I always wondered how they did this stunt and not actually hurt somebody major
I notice nobody seems to comment on the fact of him being buried in concrete never went anywhere and it was as if it never happened afterwards because it was never even mentioned
I was like 13 back then, new to wrestling (thinking that shit was real) and thought the Undertaker killed this dude for good on TV xD It was awesome, they did such a good job back in the day with their shows.
I LITERALLY cried watching this as a child at 10 year old. I TRULY thought Undertaker killed this man and buried him in concrete! I was WRECKED that was the most violent thing I had ever seen. Mind you I’m the same kid that loved the violence of steel cage, hell in a cell, tlc, and hardcore matches, but Paul Bearer being buried alive; the violence of that made me cry lol 😂 😂😂
At 3:45 paul mentioned a fluke in the satellite feed, does anyone have any info on this? Is there a article online or video about this ? I'm curious and would like to know
I have some vague memory of somehow the close up footage that was taped earlier for leaked somehow or a bit broadcasted earlier or something It reminds me of a FASTLANE PPV I went to that had Kevin Owens versus Goldberg (I think) and Chris Jerico pulls the distraction for the upset. In the dead air segment prior to the match the house tech accidentally played Jericho music package for the live audience. Pretty much to the air out of the entire arena since it more or less blew the finish of the match because now everyone KNEW CJ was gonna show up.
Bearer was not at the event. The WWE had recorded footage of Paul Bearer in the crypt beforehand. During the PPV, there was a stunt double in the crypt the whole time. That's why the TV audience could only see Paul Bearer and the crypt he was in since he wasn't there, they couldn't actually show anyone on screen with Bearer. This shot ended the PPV and caused numerous complaints toward WWE, as in essence they had shown a kayfabe murder. The live audience, however, saw an extended ending in which Bearer surfaced for air and was carried from the arena on a stretcher. On the following week's SmackDown!, Bearer was acknowledged to be alive, although gravely injured, for storyline purpose. The rehearsal taping earlier in the day of the Bash - with Undertaker ad-libbing and only half of the stunt complete, in an empty arena - was broadcast live by accident in many of the TV markets.
People used to be able to get satellite feeds of Smackdown being pre-taped. If you lived in the city they were at you could get it on your TV via satellite; that’s how we have footage of stuff like Tony Chimel botching the gravy bowl women’s title match announcement over and over
Absolutely true , you could here Taker breaking character before and saying how he felt about the stunt. The satellite would always pick up comments before it aired, even on old PPVs
It's so odd seeing him and not hearing that creepy high pitched voice. Never heard his regular speaking voice until now.
I knew him first as Percy Pringle in WCCW so it was weird for me to hear him with the unnaturally high pitched voice
OHHHHHH YESSSSSS!!!
@@valer48 MY UNDERTAKER!!!
It's why I'm here.
To hear good normal voice after 30 years.
HES SCARED OF MY UNDERTAKER, OHHH I WONDER WHY?! 😂 RIP Paul Bearer
this man tied The Undertaker and Kane together as Brothers,
this man made us believe that The Undertaker is immortal..
the most Respected non-wrestler in Wwe History ❤️
But Paul Bearer was a wrestler before he debuted as Paul Bearer in the WWF/E.

RIP William Moody ‘Percival ‘Percy’ Pringle III’ ‘Paul Bearer’
His wife of 30+ years died of breast cancer in 2009, so everyone should take solace in the fact that he got to reunite with her four years later.

Because he said it gave texture for TV....?
LOL
@@madsweeney8931 Nah, because he was being buried in oatmeal
I knew it was oatmeal. It looked so much more like oatmeal than concrete.
He was buried in Quaker Oats and ate his way out lol

Found out today
I met Paul Bearer back in 2012 Wrestlemania in Miami. What an awesome cat truly a legend. R.I.P
Never met him but he did tweet me a few months before he died, as a fan of his, was so nice that he could connect with me before he passed
I wished Paul Heyman Percival Pringle Eric Bischoff Shane Mcmahon Francine Fournier Dawn Marie Torrie Wilson
Sharmell Sullivan Karen Smedley Terri Boatright Nidia Guenard Stephanie Levesque Marianna Komlos Stacy Keibler & Sunny were fully trained Wrestlers
Still have the photo of him and me at Wrestlemania Miami. Good awesome times!!
Lucky sob

Thank you for the memories.

Why would you hate Paul Bearer lol
@uhJerryJackson I was a kid and he was marketed as a heel.
It was great hear Paul tell a story may he rest in peace
I admire Paul on even considering a stunt like that. Vince would have to back a Brinks truck full of money up to my house to get me to even consider some shit like that.
Absolute legend never forgotten.
He sounds so different from being in character he is a legend thanks Paul Rest in Paradise
He was a great actor and intelligent man… made you believe his character was real
It's cool he lived right across the bay from me. RIP Percy.
I always wondered how they did this, a legend. RIP Paul Bearer
Brah I needed this as a kid 😭😭 I was terrified when I seen him get buried in concrete
Salt of the earth guy, well respected by all.
No wonder the pre-tape and the live show sounded so perfectly alike!!
Really is sad that we lost an amazing individual like William. Like Mark Callaway always said, REST IN PEACE!!
RIP Paul
Percival Pringle Versus Paul Heyman Versus Shane Mcmahon Versus Eric Bischoff
Mad respect to him! Rest In Peace ❤️
Jesus Paul sounds alot different...must be his Moody side coming out.
One of the greatest of all time. RIP Paul Bearer.

Wow he risking his life for entertainment What A Legend
I always loved how he comes off in interviews lmao
I been waiting to know for 10 years that scene scarred me for life Rest In Peace to a legend

The funniest thing, about these shoots is going back and watching the scene/ match,
once you know how it was done.
Actually a licensed mortician! Truth is far stranger than fiction. God bless ya, Paul. Thanks for all the fun.
That pay per view event freaked me out... I'll never forget at how petrified I was... Lol
His voice is deeper than I expected. You have no idea how weird it is to hear him speak without that tremulous high pitched voice.
That “shit” at 1:06 caught me off guard lol
Its amazing how much Paul showed that if the person has enough talent and passion for what they do, they can become just as big of a legend as a manager as a person can become a legend as a wrestler.

Love that character. Good job buddy. Was of fun watching you work over the years
I liked him as Percy Pringle more. People forget that he wrestled Chris Von Erich!!!
Damn, this legend is such a sport, all the crap he went through for years. Paul Bearer should be inducted to the hall of fame.
He’s been in the Hall for a few years now.
he was back in 2014
his award was received by his 2 sons and the ultimate show of respect was when the funeral bell rang & the lights went out & Taker came out and held up the urn
RIP William Alvin Moody 🙏🏼

thanks for uploading this
such a great insight here
LEGEND. Rip Paul bearer 🙏🏽🤞🏽

Great man and taker describes him as the whole mountain to his managers Rushmore. Speaks volumes about how greatly respected he was

He was a great guy, I emailed him a couple of times and he responded back
It’s interesting to hear him talk normal. R.I.P. Paul Bearer... 😑
It’s amazing that he can speak that well on that much OxyContin.
Wym?
Dude he's high as sh*t! His eyes are just rolling around half open.
We can sense our own. Pro wrestling man, Smfh, God I love it.
What a Legend!
RIP to a legend
Paul was really a talented guy
As kids we all thought paul bearer was legit dead at Great american bash 2004.
A fucking legend there will never be another like him R.I.P. 🙏
Always heard he was a cool guy.RIP
I’ve waited so long for answers too this.
Every time I see him talking normal it just gets me because he’s always got that creepy almost devilish voice and every time he talks normal it just gets me
What a legend
I 've always wondered how they pulled that off. Thanks for the video. 👍
Ooooooooh yessss.. REST.. IN.. PEACE 🙏💓
Holy shit dude. We went nuts in the 90's baby.
I like this version of paul bearer more than the character version tbh
I like his voice for some reason

I dont like wrestling. But as a kid i somehow came across paul bearer on tv, and he lives in my nightmares. I havent recovered
He was the golden age of wrestling
What a cool story. I would be pretty scared to.
He was great! RIP Paul
Great story
RIP Paul Bearer (1954-2013)
yeah
and apparently he passed away on my birthday, according to his headstone
R.I.P. to one of the greatest managers to grace WWF u will forever be loved and missed forever.
How did Paul die please? Was it health related to his rate etc? Thanks
Heart attack i think
I would absolutely freak out if I was in that concrete crib!!!
I always wondered about that concrete match. It freaked it me out as a kid knowing he was buried in the concrete
my favorite manager
I notice nobody seems to comment on the fact of him being buried in concrete never went anywhere and it was as if it never happened afterwards because it was never even mentioned
He’s like nodding out here
I always wondered how the Warrior was buried in the casket on the Paul Bearer show?
It seems like he really got locked in the casket and there is no secret behind it.
One thing about us old timers is the we have stories to tell.
R.I.P Paul bearer😢
Ohhhh! Yesss! My Undertaker!
i was genuinely disturbed as a kid when i watched that moment on OnDemand lol
I was like 13 back then, new to wrestling (thinking that shit was real) and thought the Undertaker killed this dude for good on TV xD
It was awesome, they did such a good job back in the day with their shows.
Greatest Manager Of All Time. I wish he would’ve had one more run with Undertaker Or Kane.
I hated PB when he first hit the scene, but now my favorite. RIP to a legend
Rip brother
Oh my god yes I've been wondering how it was done since i saw it a few years ago lol
And thats exactly how it happened, because Paul Bearer said so!
What a bad ass! RIP Paul!
Legend. He really made everyone believe Kane and Undertaker were brothers. Even me.
This man said he got paid every week for a year and a half. THAT'S IGHT
