Highlights of Paul Bearer's interview this past Monday with Right After Wrestling:
- Paul Bearer will appear during WrestleMania week, signing autographs
at Fan Axxess events, and will be featured in the new WWE video game.
- Keeping his return to WWE a secret: "I worked my butt off kayfabing. I
hid out all day long – nobody knew I was even in the building. (When we
rehearsed) I popped out of the casket and Teddy Long asked “Who’s in
the Paul Bearer suit?” I had such a good time."
- His latest
run in WWE: "I had such a good time working with Undertaker and Kane. It
took a little bit to talk me into it. They said it would only be a few
shots…if it worked out I could stay a little longer and obviously it
did. And then I got kidnapped by Edge – and working with Edge and Kane
and all those vignettes were directed by Vince, himself. And I was so
comfortable working with him right there. And I felt that last month was
some of the best work I’d ever done. But that ball (that Edge threw at
him in the vignettes) hurt like a bitch! "
- Should Taker's
streak ever be broken: "NO! Absolutely not! Why should it be? It would
never happen again. There’s no reason to break it. He’s certainly earned
that spot – in his biography – as the Phenom. It’ll never happen again.
I would be close to 80 if it ever happened again. Who even knows if
he’ll be wrestling at WrestleMania? I don’t."
- Memories of managing the Undertaker in his first match in pro wrestling in Texas before he was the Undertaker
- Talking about his son who is trying his hand at pro wrestling
- Paul Bearer and the Hall of Fame: "I just say ‘why now’? I’m in no
hurry. I worked my ass of and I think I deserve to be inducted one day.
The biggest honour I could have is if I am inducted at the same time the
Undertaker goes in. That would be the biggest honour for me. "
