Not quite finished yet, but I gotta say, I really love this documentary. Many laughs, some sad moments, a really great look into Paul Bearer/Percy Pringle/Bill Moody's runs in WWF and WWE. Good that they had interviewed the man himself. Man, it's been over 7 years since he passed away.

I actually thought this documentary was better than the Brothers of Destruction one that premiered yesterday. You hear so much about Taker/Kane but it was fun to look back on the career of Bearer.

Was sad to see how big he got after the passing of his wife. That e-mail exchange between he and JR was heartbreaking.

This was an amazing documentary. I don’t have much positive to say about WWE these days, but damn do they make some great documentary’s. Bill Moody really did live his dreams. He was also hilarious as well. Loved him getting “stuck” in the chair and then asking for the Undertaker in his Paul Bearer voice.

Because of this documentary I looked up some footage of his brief appearance in the early TNA. Comparing this to when he showed up at WM 20 and damn, you can see what rough shape he was in.

Just watched this. Really really good, you could tell how well he was liked. I actually exchanged a couple of emails with him in 2005, basically just me marking out, but he replied and was so lovely.

Man, he really loved being a mortician. Don't think many kids would see a dead body and go "that's what I want to do when I grow up!"

Emails with JR are mentioned above......was JR interviewed (arvhival or new) for this? Man, he really loved being a mortician. Don't think many kids would see a dead body and go "that's what I want to do when I grow up!" He literally took his 2 passions/interests in life - wrestling and morticianing - and made it happen. Legend.
