Goodbye to a Legend

By -
As I mentioned here last night the wrestling world was saddened to find out that we lost a legend and one of the most liked men in the business William Moody or better known as Paul Bearer. Like I also stated last night I would be going in depth on the career of Paul today so here we go. Even though Paul did start in the business in 1979 because of outside circumstances his career really didn't start until 1984. During that time Percy worked for Eddie Graham in Florida, Jerry Jarrett in Memphis, & Fritz Von Erich in Dallas. Paul during his career managed multiple talents including Rick Rude, Mark Callaway, Eric Embry, Dingo Warrior, Kamala, Missing Link, Matt Borne, Kane, Mankind, Lex Luger, Buzz Sawyer, and many others. I am aware I could have just wrote Undertaker for Mark Callaway but what many don't know is Percy actually managed Undertaker early in his career to before he was the Undertaker. With basically everyone above he managed them to some form of a World title. Off the top of my head I know he managed Taker, Kane, & Rude to World titles in their respected companies.

Looking at the words wrestlers from all over are saying about Percy is telling of the type of man Percy was because nobody has a bad thing to say about the guy. People used words like funniest, nicest, well spirited, loving, the list could go on but those are the words I saw most and they are all true. I have heard people say bad things about a lot of people especially people who worked backstage like Percy did for WWE. But like so few other people in this business not one person can say a bad thing about Percy which makes his lose all the more hard. This business has become known for a lot of thing forgetting legends is not on of them as below is a blog post from Jim Ross on Percy's passing and Other Superstars feeling on Percy's passing. Also a video entitled the Best of Paul Bearer:

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo

WZR is reporting that the future of WWE diva Kelly Kelly may be in doubt not that WWE would fire her but that the time off she is taking now may be permenate. Kelly who debuted 6 years ago hasnt really taken any time away from the ring since debut and many think she is burnt out from all the travel. Because of that many feel will not return to WWE but management isnt happy because they feel she is their most marketable diva. While away she is looking into doing things that have nothing do with wrestling as her placement in the Maxim top 100 has opended a lot of doors for her away from WWE. I hope Kelly or WWE dont burn the bridge preventing a possible return for Kelly if she does decide to go away from WWE becuase she is a very marketable talent. The future for the now Former Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis still isnt complete termination as it seems he is making a change from an office employee to a guy on the road. As he is apparently booking the house
