Shocking news. Sounds sick to say, but I would of love to of seen Paul Bearer get involved in the Undertaker vs CM Punk feud. Could of done some good stuff with Paul Heyman.

There goes another piece of my childhood. I stand firmly that Undertaker nor Kane wouldve been even remotely as popular if it wasnt for Paul Bearer. Both characters wouldve fell flat on their face.
R.I.P

Holy crap. This thread's been here like over 12 hours and I just kept skimming over it thinking it can't be about him legitimately passing away. I figured it was about the GAB 2004 moment.
Shocked. R.I.P.

Awwwww R.I.P. He always cracked me up when i watched him on TV, i thought he was hilarious. I listened to him once on Honky Tonk Mans radio show and he seemed like such a nice guy with plenty of good stories. He'll be missed.

Man, seeing this on the front page of Yahoo first thing was unsettling, and then to read the news straight from WWE.com really sends it home for me.
The character of Paul Bearer is among one of the greatest just for sheer entertainment value alone, and that's not taking into consideration the man himself and all of his contributions behind the scenes.
Anything associated with Bearer during the 1990's, from Undertaker and Kane to Mankind and other foes of 'Taker, were made significantly more important because of his involvement in their storylines.
I'll always remember him for being that integral part of 'Taker's development through the years, and for the initial "Brother vs. Brother" storyline from late 1997 into mid-1998 which made for some of WWE's greatest segments ever on Raw. Not to mention, Paul's participation in many of WWE's most innovative match concepts in the past 20 years (Casket, Boiler Room Brawl, Buried Alive, Inferno, and Hell in a Cell) should not go unrecognized either.
Rest in peace, Paul, and thanks for the memories.

So saddening. Another key figure of an era is gone.
One of my absolute favorite personalities in wrestling history. Another premature death.

That's very sad to read. He was always so entertaining. I'm glad he came back for various runs over the last decade. He will be missed. Agreed with the multiple runs he's had over the years. He will certainly be missed, rest in peace Paul Bearer. Hopefully you will rise once more like when Undertaker buried you in cement using a cement rolling truck. To soon? but in all seriousness you will always be part of the many fond memories I hold.
