Hello everyone. I haven't forgotten the normal post for Monday, but right now I'm in a solemn mood. A couple months ago, you might recall my post about the heart attack that Jerry "The King" Lawler had live during a show. After a couple weeks, he came back to the WWE, and re-assumed his duties as commentator on Monday Night Raw, and doing a damn good job might I add. While he survived his ordeal, another WWE Legend was not so fortunate. Although this news is a week old (I just learned about this a little over an hour ago), I felt that it was appropriate to let you guys know.
On March 5th, 2013, William Alvin "Bill" Moody, better known by WWE fans as the Undertaker's manager, Paul Bearer, died. For many fans growing up during the 90s to sporadic appearances last decade & the beginning of this decade, he was a personality that very, very.....very few people would forget. Dour, sinister, creepy, and prone to wearing black clothing & white makeup to appear ghostly, Paul Bearer followed the Undertaker wherever he went (With the exception of his stint as Kane's manager in the late 90s to early 2000s), always carrying the iconic Golden Urn. He was a personality in a company full of personalities, and his legacy will not be forgotten.
It really is heartbreaking to see that Paul Bearer is no longer on this earth, but we can only hope that he's still continuing to be awesome in the heavens above! For a final look at him, here's an interview Michael Hayes, a very dear friend of Paul Bearer.

Paul Bearer, you will rest.....in.....peace! Sorry, that was too easy.
See you all later this week, when I'll put up the original post for today. Until then, stay Otaku!
