I really hope they don't use this in the Punk/Taker build up With how close Taker and Bearer became over their years together, I don't see Taker allowing something like that, and obviously, if Taker doesn't want it, it won't happen. Not only that, but I think Punk would reject it as well.

This really hits home for me. I had the pleasure of interviewing him for my radio show a couple months ago and he was such a pleasure to speak with. He told all kinds of stories and just seemed like a great person. I'll certainly miss him. Wow, must have been a great thing for you to get to do. From the interviews I've seen him do, he seemed like he was just a down to earth a friendly guy It was definitely an honor. I've had the opportunity to speak with a lot of legends in the business, but Paul was absolutely one of the most enjoyable. A true Southern gentleman. I could have listened to him talk for hours.

I can't even imagine how Taker is feeling right now. We lost one of the good ones today my friends.

Such horrible news. And still shocking even though he had been looking sickly. I was really hoping to get a chance to meet him at Acxess and tell him about the influence he had on my life as a wrestling fan.

This sucks, he seemed like a real nice dude too, judging by how he was on Twitter, and from his shoot interviews I've heard. When I first got into wrestling in 93' I was a huge mark for Taker, and of course if you were a Taker fan, you were a Paul Bearer fan. He's one of a kind, and most likely a future hall of gamer (if that actually really means anything). RIP.

He definitely helped to get both Undertaker and Kane over, early in the runs of their characters, and when he turned on Undertaker to side with Mankind, it brought a whole new dimension to the feud, and it really was shocking.

Not only that, but I think Punk would reject it as well. Punk would totally use it, he loves that sort of thing. The Jerry Lawler stuff he did on Raw was all his idea. I actually would've liked to see Paul Bearer have some interaction with Heyman in this feud.

I say just the opposite, I feel if Undertaker wouldn't mind if they had Paul's death as part of the storyline. Have them say Undertaker is stronger now because Paul sacrificed his life force to The Undertaker so he may rise again. Something like that that doesn't really disrecpect the character and the man behind it.

Or that the character of The Undertaker is greatly weakened by the passing of Paul Bearer, which could be a way to end the streak? I hate to think of using his passing as a storyline at a time like this, but it's just a thought (and certainly not the first one that came to mind when I heard of his passing...please don't take it disrespectfully).

R.I.P. Paul Bearer; a true man of the game. He did so much for the business and seemed like an all around down to Earth guy and will certainly be missed.
With that said, I do hope Punk brings this into their feud though.

Rest in Peace William Moody. He truly was the last of a dying breed. The manager who could get his clients over more than himself.
I always loved the Paul Bearer character and how he always seemed to cheat the Reaper. Unfortunately the Reaper caught up with one of the truly great men in the wrestling world.

Or not. He has real kids. The last thing they want is WWE making a buck off of their dads death.
