My Take
Paul Bearer is my favorite kind of wrestling figure, the villain whose presence built whole worlds. Born William Moody and, remarkably, a real funeral director, he carried that morbid authenticity into the ring as The Undertaker's urn-clutching manager. Wrestling lives on storytelling, and his eerie smile and unsettling cadence gave the dark Undertaker mythology its texture. To me he proves that a manager can matter as much as the wrestler. His 2014 WWE Hall of Fame induction, a year after his 2013 death, felt fully earned. I still get a chill recalling that voice and that grin.
