As a real life funeral director and lifelong wrestling fan I was sad to hear of Paul Bearer's passing but was proud to be a funeral director like Bill Moody whom I found out was an amazingly caring and compassionate funeral director in real life in Alabama. RIP Paul and Bill you were a great two profession practitioner.
To your CCP Troll comment: It's been obvious for a while that paid Trolls (I'm assuming, but they're definitely tied to CHINA) are present in the comments, to I guess, quell the "rebellion"?!?! Lololol!!! I got news for them.....it ain't working
Taker is legendary, and nobody can deny that, but I don't think the story would have been nearly as epic without Paul Bearer. He was one of the last of the great managers.
I was a huge fan of the Undertaker and Paul Bearer back in the day, but I was also a huge fan of the show "Get Smart." So you can imagine how blown away I was to find out that Bill's dad was the evil sidekick to the villain Siegfried on that show! So awesome!
This was a great show. When Paul came back in 2000 and guided his son Kane vs X Pac, I thought Paul was funny feuding with Tori. He showed more personality and was funny in the interactions with Tori. I think that moment in 2000 is underrated cause as they said Paul will always be remembered for taking over guiding the career of the Undertaker in late 90 early 91 from Bruce. Its cool to hear the stories from Bruce about the man behind the character. We knew him as Paul Bearer but to hear the stories about Bill Moody you knew he meant a lot to Bruce as a friend and a person.
William Moody was a seriously good dude we knew him as Percy Pringle in WCCW as I was a19 year old kid on the the spot show ring crew in 1985-86 and he was super nice to me and hilariously funny. RIP sir!!!
OOOOHHHH YEEEESSS! I've been looking forward to this episode a long time. Paul Bearer was my favourite manager because he was such a unique and brilliant on screen character and was involved in some of my favourite story lines. I have been expecting you to cover Paul Bearer in an episode and you delivered! Very interesting and entertaining watch as always. I always enjoy watching your podcasts while drinking a bottle of Merlot so thank you gentlemen for giving me another entertaining and comfortable evening. Enjoying a glass of wine and listening to you telling interesting stories and ribbing each other is a perfect evening for me. Keep it up and I look forward to the next episode.
I feel like they missed the boat with the Kane introduction. What if all along Undertaker thought Kane's remains were in the urn? And that's why it was important to him? Something that Paul bearer used to help convince the Undertaker that Kane was dead.
Paul Bearer in my opinion is in my top three greatest managers of all time with Paul Heyman and Bobby Heenan, he was such a unique character when he came out with the urn, the dark suit, the pale face makeup and talked in the high pitched voice, he looked and felt like he came out of the Addams Family or an old 30s horror movie. Paul was such a huge part of the Undertaker's legacy and played a big role in his success, he also helped put Kane and Mankind on the map and got them over. He was so good at drawing heat from the fans and his work as a heel in 1997 - 1998 is still to this day his best stuff ever. He is a true legend and 7 years later, I still miss him so much. RIP brother Paul ohhhhh yessss ⚱
In 2016, I listened to the Montreal Screw Job snippet on UA-cam. I then discovered that Bruce was Brother Love. Yet I was confused, because I thought Bruce was 40 in the 80s lol. Anyway, I noticed the STW videos afterwards, and I got hooked in 2017. That meant that I was always 80 to 100 episodes behind, until I FINALLY got caught up today!!!!! Thank you bros for the nostalgia and insight, and I look forward to future episodes!! Before I go tho, first when will you add Patreon content again? Second, what is Bruce's facial expression, during the long (no pun intended) Batista pauses? The first one was funny as hell lol. Love y'all
Woah. That's pretty much the same time frame that I also discovered these guys, and a very similar story too. The Montreal screwjob was also my first clip that I watched and then my second was the 30 minutes of gold talking about Sunny and HBK's Sunny days🤣
Thank you for producing rhe firefly fun house match Bruce. It was amazing. Genuinely a work of art. There's so many little Easter eggs in it to discover the more and more you watch it
@@charismatic9904 I have been watching wrestling for longer than that and the funhouse match was an awesome way to be creative with no audience. Get a life or go listen to all of Cornette's negativity on his podcast.
@@charismatic9904 I am 52 years old you dipshit and have been watching wrestling since I was 4. Not quite a millenial. I actually saw a Steamboat/Flair 60 minute draw live at the Hampton Coliseum when shows charged $5-$10 per seat. I am just an open minded Gen-Xer not some "get off my lawn" dipshit like yoursel.
Heenan was the absolute best. He was hilarious. He just had the look, sound, personality, and everything. Paul Bearer was phenomenal, but I especially liked managers who had their own factions with several under their management. I thought Million Dollar Man was a great manager, along with being one of the greatest heel wrestlers of all time (in my opinion).
I am 40 years old just turned like 3 days ago. The 80’s and early 90’s wrestling man it’s the best. I have four boys and when we watch WWE network it’s what they want to watch. The characters from those times the story lines. 85 to 92/93 man. Classic. I can remember playing with my big rubber LJN figures....which my mom has in storage for hours. The nostalgia man. Anyways agreed. Heenen was the absolute best no question. That era man being a kid was flat out awesome.
This one gets a thumbsup before it even premieres. I remember him back when he was Percival Pringle the third in world class. He never got along with Sunny, so he has his head on straight. I understand the economics, but wrestling needs managers again. How over would Brock Lesnar be without Paul Heyman as a mouthpiece? Nobody would know who Bobby Eaton is these days without Jim Cornette cutting promos for him. Anything that improves the overall product is an asset worth having.
Managers back in the 80’s and early 90’s made it SOOO MUCH BETTER. Then again, wrestling was awesome back then, and isn’t even remotely decent, now. It’s sucked so god awfully much for the past 15 to almost 20 years. God, it’s horrible. I miss the different factions they had with managers like “Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart, Bobby “the brain” Heenan, Reverend Slick, Mr. Fuji, Jim Cornette, Harvey Wippleman, Million Dollar man (great wrestler and manager), Sensational Sherry, and even Miss Elizabeth (with Mega Powers). Of course, there were others, but those are some of my favorites, and especially certain ones of those I listed were freakin AWESOME managers.
Father James Mitchell is a great, old school manager. Why they never had him in NXT, since he lives in Florida, I’ll never understand. I’ve often thought Christian should take a stab at it.
Goddammit bruce. Paul was in night school taking classes for his mortician licence. He was coming to the funeral home, after a class. And saw the light of squad cars , the firetrucks. The ambulances.......the smoke and steam rising from the ashes of the funeral home......burnt to the ground......ooooohhh yeeeeessss
Paul was one of the best managers ever, without Paul there never would have been an undertaker or Kane he was a great mouthpiece for both of them . I just remember being a fan wanting undertaker to get his hands on Paul so bad
I would love to hear Bruce elaborate on his reaction to PWI. I always appreciated their business model for what it is, curious to hear Bruce go more in depth on it. I wonder if he has any heat with Bill Apter.
Another great STW podcast. This is still one of the best podcasts, but the commercials are getting out of control. I'm happy to listen to anything that supports the show financially, especially when it fits the format of a TV or radio commercial, 30 seconds or so. The podcast opened with an almost 3-5 MINUTE long "Save with Conrad" ad. Then Silva doing testimonials. Why does that take 5 minutes to sell your product? We get it. Conrad does loans. Bluechew makes you hard. STW is starting to jump the shark. This is great content that it being ruined by ads that go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, saying the same thing. If you can't sell your product in 30-60 seconds, you can't sell. You can't annoy people into buying your stuff. I worked in radio for 20 years, make your pitch and move on. Outside of the marathon ads, thanks for giving a great, entertaining show.
If you worked in radio or entertainment at any decent level you would be able to use the phrase jump the shark correctly instead of incorrectly. You have discredited yourself lol
For everyone posting about top managers of all time... here’s your list: 1. Bobby Heenan 2. Jim Cornette 3. Paul E. Dangerously (Paul Heyman) 4. Paul Bearer Just because it’s a wrestling podcast for Bill Moody, doesn’t mean you have to fondle his balls posthumously...
Bruce got too mad at the comments last show. A lot of times, it's better to just keep making the videos but not reading the comments. It's just hard to read the comments in today's society.
One thing I never understood is why in storyline when bearer turned on taker in 1996 and when he aligned himself with estranged brother kane in 1997 and 1998 why undertaker took him back- surely that makes undertaker look weak
It’s so goddamn obvious Thompson has no interest in certain subjects. “Huh, we’re doing a podcast about the manager of the extremely private, almost mythic guy who’s been a main-eventer and WWE insider for 30 years... I better not ask any fucking questions about their relationship or any follow-up questions that might lead to information on more than William Moody’s fucking childhood....can’t wait to talk about AEW and being a loser with Schiavone tomorrow!”
Exact opposite for me. I was like "FINALLY! An opponent who is a genuine, legitimate threat to Undertaker!" At that point, the matches with Mankind were the best Undertaker had in ages.
@@gothchicksbongrips5712 Heenan was a legendary Commentator with Gorrila Moonson, but was he the best manager ? He managed a lot of people but who was really a Star because of him? Andre the Giant? Andre in the late 70s, 80s was a very good wrestler for his size he was special without Bobby.
@@watersandblue6001 Vince McMahon picked bobby up from the awa because he was such a good manager. Percy was too. But Bobby was at the top of the food chain
People hate Dunn because of Cornette. It's not a secret. When Cornette started making fun of Kevin Dunn on video, everyone took Corny's side instantly. The problem there is that some of Cornette's arguments are pretty dumb, mostly because it's him defending Southern Rasslin' ideas and philosophies to a guy who produces television in a different area of the country for a different audience. A good example is the NWA situation where Kevin said "that's not our audience, they won't know who they are" and Corny lost his mind. Dunn was correct. At that time, I had no idea what the NWA was because I was only watching WWF and I live in New York. I didn't read the dirt-sheets either. Corny has no problems about telling everyone that Bruno Sammartino didn't get over in the south because of his style yet Sammartino still sold those places out, something Corny doesn't acknowledge. As hilarious as those interviews are and yes Kevin sounds like an ass - I'm sorry but Corny is very biased when it comes to Southern Wrestling. If you hate Southern Rasslin, Corny hates you.
I agree 100% and I grew up watching Southern rasslin'. Cornette was a great talent but was a terrible booker in my opinion and he absolutely does not listen to other opinions.
deweigle A terrible booker? How do you come to that conclusion? Most people inside the wrestling business and outside call him one of the greatest minds in the history of the industry.
@@DBonaldi Let's see Cornette bankrupted two companies he booked, got fired twice when Vince Russo was chosen over him as a writer/booker (I mean Russo, really???), and could never get past his old ideas of what may have worked 40 years ago. I have been watching wrestling for 45 years and love the old stuff but at some point you have to move on. Other than the Hell in a Cell concept or getting Mick Foley over in WCW, what did Cornette book that you remember as being great or amazingly creative? As a talent, he was awesome but was the shits as a booker. Lots of people think he is great because he picks apart every little thing he watches and bitches about it on his podcasts. But what were his great ideas when he was a booker?
The Undertaker's manager before Paul Bearer was this evangelical host named Brother Love. I always wondered what happened to that cherry-faced preacher. Apparently the Ultimate Warrior killed him before Wrestlemania 7.
I'll be danged. HE TOLD YA CONRAD! HE TOLD YA! I heard you laugh when Bruce 1st mentioned Paul Bearer's original job as a funeral director, and I just heard ya read it off his bio. Awesome, I too thought Bruce was joking, I'll be danged! Makes me really wonder about that garbage man now... :)
Awesome show guys! I really miss Paul more now! I'm gonna have to pop over to the network and watch me some old undertaker matches so I can see Paul work his stuff! :) Have a great week you guys and stay safe!
As a real life funeral director and lifelong wrestling fan I was sad to hear of Paul Bearer's passing but was proud to be a funeral director like Bill Moody whom I found out was an amazingly caring and compassionate funeral director in real life in Alabama.

Taker is legendary, and nobody can deny that, but I don't think the story would have been nearly as epic without Paul Bearer. He was one of the last of the great managers.
When he said, I'm Kane and here to be the Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. I lost it lol
I read your comment before I heard it and I still lost it. No idea that was coming. That was great lmao

Why tragic?
Rafael Rodriguez, it was a joke. I said that cos of the ‘tragic’ story of Undertaker’s parents dying in the fire and Kane’s face being disfigured.
Now I have the mental image of Paul Bearer riding in a side car with a leather vest and a pickelhaube helmet.
I’d rather listen to these stories from 30 years ago than watch wrestling happening now
Paul bearer was one of the GOAT.
Bobby Heenen
Jimmy Hart
Percy Pringle

@@gothchicksbongrips5712 Heenan was a legendary Commentator with Gorrila Moonson, but was he the best manager ? He managed a lot of people but who was really a Star because of him? Andre the Giant? Andre in the late 70s, 80s was a very good wrestler for his size he was special without Bobby.
@@watersandblue6001 Vince McMahon picked bobby up from the awa because he was such a good manager. Percy was too. But Bobby was at the top of the food chain
Put the pipe down
He HATED Kevin Dunn, watch his shoot interview with jim cornette
People hate Dunn because of Cornette. It's not a secret. When Cornette started making fun of Kevin Dunn on video, everyone took Corny's side instantly. The problem there is that some of Cornette's arguments are pretty dumb, mostly because it's him defending Southern Rasslin' ideas and philosophies to a guy who produces television in a different area of the country for a different audience. A good example is the NWA situation where Kevin said "that's not our audience, they won't know who they are" and Corny lost his mind. Dunn was correct. At that time, I had no idea what the NWA was because I was only watching WWF and I live in New York. I didn't read the dirt-sheets either. Corny has no problems about telling everyone that Bruno Sammartino didn't get over in the south because of his style yet Sammartino still sold those places out, something Corny doesn't acknowledge. As hilarious as those interviews are and yes Kevin sounds like an ass - I'm sorry but Corny is very biased when it comes to Southern Wrestling. If you hate Southern Rasslin, Corny hates you.
I agree 100% and I grew up watching Southern rasslin'. Cornette was a great talent but was a terrible booker in my opinion and he absolutely does not listen to other opinions.
Corvette is in Wrestling, because of talent, Dunn is in Wrestling due to nepotism. One is a genius, and one is an asskissing sycophant.
deweigle A terrible booker? How do you come to that conclusion? Most people inside the wrestling business and outside call him one of the greatest minds in the history of the industry.
@@DBonaldi Let's see Cornette bankrupted two companies he booked, got fired twice when Vince Russo was chosen over him as a writer/booker (I mean Russo, really???), and could never get past his old ideas of what may have worked 40 years ago. I have been watching wrestling for 45 years and love the old stuff but at some point you have to move on. Other than the Hell in a Cell concept or getting Mick Foley over in WCW, what did Cornette book that you remember as being great or amazingly creative? As a talent, he was awesome but was the shits as a booker. Lots of people think he is great because he picks apart every little thing he watches and bitches about it on his podcasts. But what were his great ideas when he was a booker?
Montreal screwjob
The Undertaker's manager before Paul Bearer was this evangelical host named Brother Love.
I always wondered what happened to that cherry-faced preacher. Apparently the Ultimate Warrior killed him before Wrestlemania 7.
I don't think Paul would fit in a sidecar...
I'll be danged. HE TOLD YA CONRAD! HE TOLD YA! I heard you laugh when Bruce 1st mentioned Paul Bearer's original job as a funeral director, and I just heard ya read it off his bio. Awesome, I too thought Bruce was joking, I'll be danged! Makes me really wonder about that garbage man now... :)
Awesome show guys! I really miss Paul more now! I'm gonna have to pop over to the network and watch me some old undertaker matches so I can see Paul work his stuff! :) Have a great week you guys and stay safe!
