Paul Bearer: Foley Is Pod #40

[@gojirajenkins8528]

My oldest sister flicked on RAW Summer of 94’ She did the best Paul Bearer impression to make my other sister and I laugh. She passed away 5 years ago before the age of 40 and I miss her and Paul Bearer. On the tough days I think about those summer nights watching RAW with my big sister in the 90’s. She also loved The Rock and Mick Foley later on in the late 90’s when I watched the show more often then. As she was older and out with her “friends” a lot more. Wrestling is more than just a show it’s one of those things that can take you back to a time and place in your life no different than a good song or timeless movie. Have a nice day and Thank You for the memories Mick and your colleagues

The "Suck It" segment in this had me laughing so hard. "Uncle Paul, I don't want to suck it. Please don't make me suck it," had me wheezing.

I remember that it was a piece of real news reported at the time in an "Apter Mag" (Pro Wrestling Illustrated etc).

[@adrianreece214]

Same omg that is gold from Foley 😂

[@Wickedpissah138]

Paul Bearer was definitely my favorite manager and non-wrestler character. He owned it.

[@Rschr101]

Love hearing some Mr In Your House on a Friday morning!

[@splashgo8265]

Mick, you're one of my favorites of all time. Thank you for everything you have done.

[@elc1960]

I'm not sure if Paul's shoot interview with Cornette is still up on KZbin in its entirety, but look for it. It's funny as hell, lots of inside stories shared between two men who legitimately liked each other. A must-see video if ever there was one.

[@andrewlivingston1590]

My favorite part is when he says that Katie Vick was the most embarrassing moment of his career…when he wasn’t even involved in it!

[@jerminator356]

Paul Bearer was a very underrated talent R.I.P.

[@jiovanna4136]

RIP to one of the Greatest and scariest manager ever! Mr. PAUL BEARER/ William Moody ⚰⚱🌹 (April 10, 1954 - March 5, 2013) 🌟🐏

[@shaynewest8757]

"I came out of the match with a broken wrist and a good memory". Wrestlers are a strange breed.

[@shanedoucette9521]

Love Paul Bearer. One of the greats. Great episode fellas, looking forward to next week.

[@user-qc7hr4my7r]

Nobody could of pulled off that Paul Bearer character except for William. Then to be a real mortician just makes it more special. I watched a lot of interviews with him and about him, he was meant for this business.

[@billyhill2517]

Been waiting all week for this. Love Uncle Paul! R.I.P. Mr. Moody..... BTW, Mick has to be the nicest dude on 🌎 Ohhh Yeeesssssss

[@heyzeushoards1405]

"I'm Paul Bearer and you're not" Boiler Room Brawl heel turn was so crushing for me. I loved Taker but was quickly becoming a huge Mankind fan. To this day, my favorite character and Paul was certainly a top manager to me.

[@SonnyO]

56:10 Hey, I was raised in Fall River! Crazy he remembers the town so sharply for someone as well traveled as him. Anyone else would just blur it.

[@LburgVAGuy]

Undertaker and Kane never scared me as a kid,but I was terrified of Paul Bearer and Papa Shango 😂

[@jayb-clay2724]

The undertaker should of only lasted long enough to catch a big boot and leg drop and here we are over 30 years still talking about that dude.

[@adamlucas2816]

I remember tweeting Percy about working with Taker on WM29 against Punk he DM'd me and we had a beautiful conversation such a wonderful man I will miss you forever my friend

[@timmyhull7669]

Didn't Paul pass away like a month before WrestleMania? I remember the feud revolving around the urn

[@AFeistyCadaver]

@@timmyhull7669 He died a month before Mania 29.

[@adamlucas2816]

@@timmyhull7669 Yes we talked all throughout October and November in december he said he wasn't feeling well he was feeling slugish and just off I said I would pray for him and that was the last conversation we had. I was so happy and sad when Percy became the crux of the feud at the time I was angry about things but in a way a fan should be. It was the Tuesday after WM29 that a light went on in my head on that entire story being ok and it being a way for Paul's legacy to ring true as tribute after his passing.

[@iTubeYourDadsMinge]

@@adamlucas2816 I think you made this up. Paul passed away the day after Mar 4 Raw, which was weeks before Wrestlemania 29. You were probably talking to a fake profile on Twitter.

[@tonemarieantonsen1597]

In my personal view William Moody aka Paul Bearer/Percy Pringle was the best wrestling manager ever. The Undertaker and him was fantastic together 🖤💜⚱️⚰️Rest easy William Moody ♥️ 🖤

[@wrestlingwithart]

Paul was such an underrated character!

OI BRUV, YOU GOT A LOICENSE FOR THAT NATURE BOY PROMO?

[@marcelmoreau2733]

heard of the gloves and hat but never boots, usually done by paul bearer as he admitted in shoots with cornette

[@jeromemanley7885]

It's the CYC Mick and I was there live, 10 years old. My Dad worked for JVC at the time so we had free tickets because of the Kaboom of week segment lol. Fantastic memory, but yes, the archdiocese said no more wrestling at the CYC, then they built the arena in Wilkes-Barre and blew up Vince McMahon lol

[@wilfred8326]

😆

[@davidmcelroy8347]

It's amazing how much he remembers considering the beatings he put himself through.

[@TravelatorH8r]

I like the gray everybody's doing gray lately

[@debbieclark7031]

Paul's look reminds me of Gomez from the Addam's Family cartoon.

[@wrestlingwithart]

What a surprise, Punk was being a baby about not getting what he wanted.

[@tazmissionplex]

I live in Fall River I remember being a kid Mick Foley was at fall River celebrates America me and my brother got there late we saw Mick Foley and Sables limo driving away we chased after it because we wanted to see Mick Foley so bad

[@TakeNoteOfThat]

Odd thought: Percy could conceivably have scooped the Undertaker gimmick for himself years early: the name is so obviously a great name for a wrestler, I wonder if it ever came up due to Percy’s real life pursuits

[@lukelee7967]

There is a match on KZbin of Percy Pringle & Steve Austin (yes, that one) vs Chris Adams & Chris Von Erich

[@neilspence7490]

Foley got to be a millionaire why hasn't he got a Hollywood smile. It would be the first thing I would do.

[@wilfred8326]

Because he is a normal guy.

Let's talk about mental health. - Brought to u by ur friends at big pharma.

[@CannedHam2479]

I preferred the Mankind/Bearer pairing over Bearer/Kane

[@Sickillj]

Yeah, Kane could of just been Kane with out Paul Bearer. Bearer could of just started the story,motion of Kane like what happened before hell in a cell. Then Kane couls.of probably just been who he became solo. He didnt need to promo, he was a monster

[@CannedHam2479]

@@Sickillj Good points

[@whohuhyesyouare5277]

Great episode, Paul's been one of my favorites since a kid. Can't wait for triple H's hof induction :)

thank you for the early birthday gift mick #HAVEANICEDAYBANGBANG

[@nathancolucci161]

This question is late, but if you see this do you think if Paul was still with us and all the crazy wrestlers he managed. Do you think inhanse or ruin Bray Wyatt gimmick if he could be his manager?

[@delbertprince5302]

Bruiser Brody was a beast....

RIP Frank

My siblings have no clue of current day wrestling but if I go ohh yes they know who I'm talking about Percy the original yes man in wrestling Bryan got it from him haha

[@rw8185]

Poor presentation of Mick Foley from Conrad. It should go like this: "the WWE Hall of Famer, the Hardcore Legend, the official Mr In Your House, Mick Foley."

[@eddead4235]

Its not rey foley going off cell and rey was losing mask

[@bmbxiii2045]

Please for the love of god, send Matt Koon that Mr In Your House intro to be remastered… it’s fun but sounds low quality as fuck
