paul bearer turns down raw invite

[forgottensinpwf]

Former WWE manager Paul Bearer posted the following statement on his blog regarding Monday's Raw 15th anniversary special:

Many of you are aware that this coming Monday, December 10, 2007 at 7pm (CT) on USA, will be the 3-hour 15th Anniversary of MONDAY NIGHT RAW. To settle some suspicions, I was contacted by WWE officials last week requesting that I be a part of the broadcast. As much as I would like to do so, my current schedule completely prohibits it. :-(

Isn't he supposed to be dead in the WWE anyways? maybe if they had him come to Raw with the cement still all over his legs and arms.

Damn, I was hoping Bearer would be there so we could have some closure to the Undertaker/Kane/Bearer storyline, once and for all.

[skiller]

So does that make Paul Bearer a sell out and ungrateful?

[GaTechGrad]

I thought Undertaker killed him by pouring cement on top of him.

[Steveweiser]

Bah Gawd Paul, you're a goddamn sellout just like that damn Rock!

[WWE Trademarked My Name]

I thought Bearer had slimmed down quite a bit since he left the E. You think they would have attributed his weight loss to him becoming human cement block?

[Deleted]

Anyone else find it messed up that they are trying to contact people a week before the show?

No. He at least gave us a legitimate reason as to why he cannot appear.

I remember they explained on WWE.com that Bearer was somehow saved after the PPV went off the air.

i definatly remember an announcement on smackdown saying he survived but was seriously ill.

but i would have loved to see him maybe managing the brothers of destuction against BDV and mark henry (id mark big time for a return of the BoD continuity be damned!)

At least this doesn't mean that Paul Heyman can't still show up

So working on and publicising several films isn't a legitimate reason to miss a wrestling event?

Gotta make a note of that somewhere....

It sounds like they asked him weeks ago.

It's a damn shame that Bearer and Rock have no souls and sold out!!!! I think we should all make SHOOT videos on youtube telling them off!!!




Wow I wonder if that's how youtube shooters actually think...

[Thynny Fat Ass]

They should just have a block of cement sitting there in the ring..

Ladies and gentlemen, PAUL BEARER!

Like Han Solo in Carbonite.

I believe they decided to go with "seriously ill" after they realized they broadcast the f***in' rehersal all over the world.

He was supposed to be dead, but I think they called an audible on it.

Wellllllll, WWE is basically a film production these days. Kayfabe is dead.

Paul Bearer won't show up .

But he didn't say anything about Percy Pringle III

[Stevie J]

They could always just have Undertaker walk out with an urn. Next best thing!

[shadowforce420]

Didn't he say the same thing before WM20?

Well, in the case of the Rock he doesn't have to explain what he does to anyone. If he doesn't want to show up, it's his choice. It's like people actually want him to ask permission if he could take off from a show, even though he's not been contractually obligated to WWE for years.
