RIP Paul Bearer

Just heard now that he died today at 58. :(

RIP

I couldn't play SimCity and so I came to browse the forums and this is just going all bad tonight. That way sucks.

wow that does suck.

also here's a tweet from jerry lawler that youd like to see https://twitter.com/JerryLawler/status/309162684492951554/photo/1

That stinks. He was great when he did his thing. So sad.

As I said in the wrestling thread. I'm just bewildered right now. Its going to take some time to process this one. I dunno he was always one of those guys you never thought was going to go.

Just fought his last casket match . . . and lost.

I am not sure why I am so sad over this.

I am a huge wrestling fan, and I actually shed a couple tears when I read about this, but that isn't really normal for me. Then again, I basically cried when Cena lost at WM to Rocky, so I don't know why I'm surprised.

I haven't followed wrestling for over 10 years but Paul Bearer was one of the best fucking personalities and they're never going to match what he did.

Aw. RIP.

This sucks, but man you could see it coming a mile away.

Crap. Wished he was at the show last night. It wasn't Old School with out Paul Bearer.

Nooo! I'm not even a wrestling fan, but everything about Paul Bearer was awesome.

:'(

My favorite manager

Another key personality from the best wrestling era. RIP :(

Paul Bearer and Hugo Chavez on the same day? And they were both 58? Weird.

@arbitrarywater: Oh shit. I had no idea Chavez died too. Nuts.

RIP P.B. although given his association with the undertaker, i'm sure he'll have no problem crossing the river styx.

RIP. Always hate it when people associated with the wrestling industry go.

It's a shame his death will be overshadowed by dying the same day as Hugo Chavez.

Wait. Do we have a picture of them in the same room at all?

RIP Hugo "Paul Bearer" Chavez. I'm not a wrestling fan at all but the dude had a cool concept.

RIP Paul Bearer. What was the cause of death?

I'm not a wrestling fan anymore but I did watch it when I was younger and he still is one of the standouts from all those years ago. Probably one of the most recognizable people out there. It's a shame, but you really can't weigh over 500 pounds without it impacting your health and leading to an early grave. Still he left his mark and that's all anyone can hope to do and he's at peace now.

@aiurflux: He lost a lot of weight. He had a gastric bypass surgery a few years ago.

RIP caretaker of the urn

Here was a picture of him 10 days ago. He lost a lot of weight because of surgery.

I know he had gastric bypass surgery guys, my point was even weighing 500 pounds for a second can be hell on your health. And having gastric bypass surgery doesn't magically pull people out of the woods, it itself is a fairly risky surgery. I've heard stories about people dying because of it. Hell my own auntie had it and she died a month after. It's not just 500 pounds, weighing 300 pounds or even 250 pounds is just as hazardous to a persons health.

He was legendary, rest in piece big guy.

Not a huge wrestling fan but always enjoyed seeing him & Undertaker. RIP.

Just thinking about him brings a nostalgiac smile to my face. What a great entertainer. RIP

Watched a few YouTube vids of Bearer doing his thing. The man had charisma - one of the best out-of-ring personalities in wrestling.
