Bio:
He is regarded as one of the most enigmatic and attention-grabbing entertainers in WWE history. Captivating the WWE Universe with his mystifying voice and peculiar facial expressions for more than a decade, Paul Bearer remains a legend for WWE fans across the globe.

Mostly associated as the uncanny caretaker for the Undertaker, Kane and Mankind, Bearer joined WWE in 1990. Dressed in a grim black suit, the spooky funeral director was assigned to mentor the "Phenom" in early 1991.

In addition to being a bizarre spokesman for the Undertaker during pre- and post-match interviews, Bearer also controlled the "Deadman's" strength. By raising his trademark urn in the air at pivotal moments of bouts, the eccentric manager would often catapult his competitor to victory.

Bearer's relationship, however, took an unexpected turn when he betrayed the Undertaker at SummerSlam 1996 and sided with Mankind. Shortly after, it was revealed that the dour leader had a son who was also the half-brother of his former associate.

Kane, whom the Undertaker had believed was lost in a childhood tragedy, became Bearer's newest prodigy when he released the "Big Red Monster" in October 1997. The brothers had an ongoing grudge before Bearer reunited with Undertaker to help form The Ministry of Darkness in 1999.

Bearer departed from the WWE realm in 2000 and made a return to Undertaker's side at WrestleMania XX in 2004. However, the reunion was short lived, as Undertaker encased Bearer in a cement tomb later that year at The Great American Bash. Undertaker won a match at the event to save Bearer, but after bowing in homage to his longtime mentor, the "Deadman" said that he had "no other choice" and entombed Bearer.

Despite his untimely demise, one thing is for certain: Paul Bearer will always be remembered as an extraordinary figure in WWE history.
