Dr. Tom Prichard’s Paul Bearer blog
Former WWE agent and trainer, Dr. Tom Prichard, has a brand new
website up at DrTomPrichard.com. In the coming months, Dr. Tom will be
adding many new features to the site, but as always, he’ll continue
posting his regular blogs that have become quite a popular attraction
in the past year.
Dr. Tom just posted his latest blog about the untimely passing of his
friend, Bill Moody (aka Paul Bearer). Here is a small snippet of the
column:
“And now he’s gone. I have to admit I heard about Percy?s death
Wednesday morning when my wife woke me up telling me it was all over
Facebook. I couldn’t believe it. There’s no way! He?s too important
to too many people. This can?t be happening! All the good guys are
leaving.
I was warned. ‘This may be the last time to get to see some of these
guys.’ But certainly I’ll see Percy again! He?s getting the Lou Thesz
award at the Cauliflower Alley club next month!
I texted a friend to find out if he knew what happened. Seems a blood
clot was the cause. I was still in a state of shock. He just had the
flu. We can?t lose another one. There?s not many left who loved the
business the same way. Percy was a fan growing up watching and
dreaming. His dreams became a reality and surpassed anything anyone
could imagine. He was a great guy with a great heart.
His wife Dianna had passed away years ago and by his posts and
messages it was obvious he loved and missed her dearly. I don?t know
where or what brings some people to have such strong faith but it was
evident with Percy. There are more than enough people who profess one
thing and do another but William Moody practiced what he preached. He
didn’t beat you over the head with his beliefs but he did walk the walk.
It?s funny and enlightening at times when I encounter people I worked
with or had an acquaintance with over the years. We seem to have that
unspoken bond of going through the same experiences in different ways.
We traveled the same roads but had different spots on the card. Some
guys liked to segregate then as well as now, while others understood
we all traveled the same distance to get where we are and there was no
reason to be a dick about it! Percy and the Undertaker were always
class acts.”
