For non-wrestling fans the outpouring of grief for Bill Moody (better known as WWE's Paul Bearer) must be a strange thing to behold. After all, here was a man who had never wrestled a match, never headlined Wrestlemania. But he was somebody who seemed to embody a flamboyantly over-the-top vision of wrestling many of us miss today.
He began his career as Percival "Percy" Pringle III, a manager in south-eastern independent promotions and owner of a truly brilliant name. But it wasn't until he entered the WWE as The Undertaker's pasty faced keeper and holder of “the power of the urn” that he captured fans hearts. An integral part of the deadman's utterly bonkers back story, he betrayed and reunited with the near seven foot legend more times than most fans care to count.
