EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2004 Paul Bearer Comments On His Death What does Percy Pringle III have to say about last night's events? The following is from the newly updated "biography" of William A. Moody b.k.a. "Paul Bearer" or "Percy Pringle" -- from the man's Web site: I worked for the Jarrett’s Nashville based NWA-TNA organization during late 2002, and early 2003. Then after a couple of weeks of negotiations and prayer, I signed a new contract with World Wrestling Entertainment on October 3, 2003. Making my first appearance back on WWE television on March 14, 2004 at WRESTLEMANIA-XX. Reuniting with my long-time business associate The Undertaker at Madison Square Garden. I proved that ‘kayfabe’ is still alive and well for 5-months, as my return wasn’t leaked to the ‘dirt sheets’ until 7-days prior to my reappearance. Of course if you asked me, I was in denial until the moment the pay-per-view audience around the world heard that first chilling “gong” in The Undertaker’s entrance music. On Sunday, June 27, 2004, at THE WWE GREAT AMERICN BASH - PPV, at The Scope Coliseum, in Norfolk, Virginia. The Undertaker himself, destroyed The WWE Character Paul Bearer. Paul's body was encased in a glass crypt, filled with concrete for eternity. Thus ended the 13-year relationship between The "Dead Man", and his confidant. It has been said that Paul Bearer, was The Undertaker's only weakness, in the fact that his feelings for him demonstrated what remained of "The Phenom's" mortality. The Web site also has a new graphic paying tribute to Paul Bearer (different than the one reported here last night). Credit: PercyPringle.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He sure proved a point about the 'dirtsheets', when they still managed to leak it in advance. It has been said that Paul Bearer, was The Undertaker's only weakness Bearer was always one of the Undertaker's main strengths, along with the urn. Let's not rewrite history here, to justify this.

Guest D'Lo White Report post Posted June 28, 2004 It has been said that Paul Bearer, was The Undertaker's only weakness, in the fact that his feelings for him demonstrated what remained of "The Phenom's" mortality. This is false, the Undertaker showed more feelings and concern for his blke then he ever did Paul Bearer. Also, I don't see the name Paul tattooed on his neck.

Guest Loss Report post Posted June 28, 2004 Then again, he wasn't upset that his father was in his opponent's corner at Wrestlemania, so why should he be upset now? Yeah, there was that little incident in late 1998 where the Undertaker and Paul Bearer admitted to starting the fire that killed Kane's mother, but they were back in good graces with each other by 2000, and Kane teamed with his brother all through 2001, even though he turned on him a year prior. Bischoff needs to give Kane time off for evaluation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2004 Maybe Bearer will be like Han Solo when he was frozen by Jabba the Hutt, and they'll drag his concrete tomb around for the next few months until the 'Taker turns face and liberates him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2004 Undertaker didn't comment on Kane being unmasked, which was a HUGE deal, so don't expect any mention tonight of Mr. Bearer's death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Loss Report post Posted June 28, 2004 You know, this whole thing would make for the perfect opportunity to introduce a "liberal filmmaker" gimmick to the company, especially if they wanted to be topical. He could do a documentary on Kane that shows that society's ills should be blamed for making him what he is, not he himself. He could even do similar documentaries on other wrestlers.

Guest bigdiswrestling Report post Posted June 28, 2004 Hmmm... Is it just me? or is it kind of funny that a few years back, Stone Cold could get arrested for beating up the company boss... ...yet Taker and Heyman aren't taken into custody for KILLING somebody.

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2004 Yeah! He sure proved a point about the 'dirtsheets', when they still managed to leak it in advance. Remember that a lot of guys who have been in the business before a certain point hold a grudge on the current tell-all situation it's in today. You can't deny that being an informed fan and knowing what's in the dirtsheets doesn't make the show a smidge less fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But he's saying that it was an achievement that it wasn't leaked right away or something, when it was leaked anyway. Got this e-mail from fan services: Fan Services to me 10:55pm (6 minutes ago) Last night's "Concrete Crypt Match" was similar in concept to the "Buried Alive" matches of the past. No one was murdered. After the The Great American Bash Pay-Per-View went off the air, the crowd at The Scope in Norfolk saw Paul Bearer come up for air and then placed on a stretcher to receive "medical attention." There will be an update on Paul Bearer on this Thursday's WWE SmackDown! Stay tuned. Thanks for your email and for your interest in WWE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must have been cool for the fans to see dynamite go off in the arena. Well.....there must have been dynamite involved. I mean, Paul Bearer was completely trapped in a block of QUICK-DRYING CEMENT. Unless the paramedics managed to poke a straw through the cement block to give Bearer some air......AND carried the entire cement cube onto a stretcher and into an ambulance....that explanation makes zero sense. The WWE Web-Writing Team really should just stick to the Garrison Cade articles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
