totally pointless and useless wrestling trivia

[Buford T. Justice]

Everybody probably remembers the wrestling manager "Paul Bearer". He worked with the Undertaker and Kane. In real life he was the

managing funeral director at Coastal Funeral Homes & Crematorium in Moss Point, Mississippi between 2006 and 2010.

"life imitating art imitating life?" Or something like that. Anyway, I remember him.

I got to meet him a few years ago. he said he would just call funeral homes in whichever city they were in and have them deliver the caskets to the venues. morticians take care of each other.

He came with a bunch of guys (from Indiana?). About 6'4" or taller, well built, heavily tattooed with the underaker stuff. He said that he had pretty nearly lost his soul in Pro-wrestling - drugs, women, drinking. He gave himself to Christ that weekend. I'll never forget. The undertaker that does the act now is not the guy I'm talking about, but the guy I met worked with Paul Bearer.

He actually was a pretty nice guy. Spent quite a bit of time with him that weekend. Lost touch later and hope things worked out for him. He was there with a bunch of firemenfriends from his home town, or something like that.

Only one Undertaker, Mark Calaway. This guy is confused. WWF did run a storyline with a fake Undertaker back in the 90s, so maybe that's who this guy met.

The cage match with him and Mankind was unbelievable.

 

[Buford T. Justice]

I can't imagine going in a legitimate funeral home to take care of burying my loved one and seeing this guy working there. I think I would start laughing. He really was a great character.

He talked about how there were several major parts of that match that were never supposed to happen, but they were both so hyped up on adrenaline and the crowd was so insane that they just kept taking it to another level. Also, the whole tooth ending up in his nose things was classic. If you remember the part where he was being taken away by paramedics but he then stripped off the restraints and returned, he said that he was literally unconscious for about 2-3 minutes leading up to that.
