Sad news indeed. He brought so great memories to the wrestling world.
His voice was so freakishly hilarious.

[claud3]

This indeed a sad day for wrestling and the UNDERTAKER is the worse effected personally speaking, since they were friends since forever

[nextgen3]

R.I.P Paul bearer sad news i must say quite a shock if anything!

[claud3]

Shock is an understatement friend, he was a larger than life character and the WWE have lost a true icon and future Hall Of Fame guy

[DeviousOne]

Last time we saw him kane put him in a freezer?

Huge loss for the WWE and its fans rip paul...

I wonder if wwe using this story in the punk and taker feud?

[claud3]

I really hope not, since it is so recent and the WWE hopefully are smarter enough to stay clear of this for his famlies shake

I know they did it with OWEN HART, BRAIN PILLMAN and a few others... That was in the hay day of the company... And this is KIDDY WWE now and

i really hope they do not

[DeviousOne]

Given the nature of Cm punks promos I can see it happening. I as well hope not but wwe will do anything for crowd reactions

[Molo316]

I'll be quite sickened if they do go that route, but of all people, Punk is the one to potentially do it.

Thought I'd share my tweet from tonight.

[DeviousOne]

Remember they did have cm punk and heyman make fun of jerry lawler after his heart attack

[Molo316]

Yep, they did. Difference here is that someone actually died. Will be a whole lot colder for them to take the piss out of this.

This is the last image of Paul before he past away, he does not look good

I heard he had internal bodily problems, but he still looked slim - although that could have been involuntary due to health problems.
Quite startling when you think you're with someone and then they're gone some days later (Jerry Lawler in this instance, if that is a recent picture).

I was actually thinking that since it was old school Raw, and if Undertaker was coming back at the time, Paul Bearer should have come out with him; would have been a nice touch, but obviously he was most probably pretty bad then.

[claud3]

True, the WWE is under a lot of pressure over recent health scares aka Jerry and will need to recheck all their superstars and see what's what in terms of their health status

Apparently they do health checks on all the older guys now if they are to do something in the ring, after what happened to Lawler. Ric Flair probably falls in there too.
However, if anyone is going to throw Paul Bearer in that mix I think they need to think again; the bloke didn't do anything exerting for years!

[claud3]

So true, but with all the recent wrestlers death and i am talking young one's. The WWE need to keep checking their stars and flair had a recent clot in his blood while in Japan

And the WWE are still concerned about him and you see why

[RyanGT]

Rip Paul

i remember the old days with him and undertaker.

[claud3]

They were awesome days and the stories for him taker and kane, were entertainmenting

[DeviousOne]

I hope they don't I'm sure we'll see a tribute to paul on Monday Night raw this week.

Taker looks old as hell too

[Molo316]

- Sean "X-Pac" Waltman has announced on Thursday that he is officially under WWE contract again, writing on Twitter:

"Im proud to be able to announce that I just received the executed copy of my WWE Legends Contract moments ago. I'm humbled by this honor."

[LOP]

What? Can the guy still wrestle? His voice is terrible now...

[nextgen3]

Aslong as WWE got the old stars back it is good to see them making apperanceses i still miss the old attuide era stars an still missing ECW/WCW stars to but to be honest the WWE Legends Contract is pretty dam usless, you only get called up when needed or to be there at that show on time an place given. no wonder Edge never signed one! aint seen Kevin nash for a while either since his storyline with Punk & HHH :/.

Hell in a Cell Woah!! now thats something to see

Xpac a legends contract? Well I guess so smh lol

[Molo316]

Not trying to be snippy, but that Undertaker promo was from the 2009 Hell in a Cell PPV, so no one should get excited at the prospect of a HIAC match... just yet.
