This is a shock...not too long ago he was talking about working with Ricardo Rodriguez and everything..

[Mr. Pike Central]

Very saddened to hear about this.

One of the best managers of all-time.

WOW - this is a shock and will have significant impact on the Undertaker. They were best friends, and it was Paul that counseled Mark on whether he should come back. I'm sure a WM match will take place, but it will be dedicated to Bill Moody and it guarantees to me the streak will continue.

I thought he was a lot older than that. Wasn't a manager in World Class Championship Wrestling before WWE?

Yeah he managed in World Class as Percy Pringle before coming to the WWE as Paul Bearer. Without a doubt my favorite figure in wrestling. I'll never forget seeing him and the Undertaker at the Pikeville College Gym when they wrestled at a Smoky Mountain Wrestling event. R.I.P.

[Mr. Pike Central]

It was make-up SK.

TMZ reported that 3 days before Paul Bearer died, he was hospitalized with a blood clot that was causing him breathing problems

Quite accurate my friend

[Strikeout King]

Anyone ever go on youtube and watch the videos of Paul Bearer talking about Kane before Kane made his debut at Bad Blood in '97?

I saw The Undertaker and Paul Bearer several times in the mid to late 90's.....

At a WWF house show in Huntington, WV... I had ring side and got to hear Paul Bearer's voice, it was creepy.

Mark and Bill is without question the best Wrestler/Manager combination in pro wrestling history.
