About Paul Bearer

Paul Bearer, also known as William Alvin Moody, was an American professional wrestling manager. He performed in the World Wrestling Federation under the ring name and gimmick of Paul Bearer, manager of The Undertaker and his storyline son/Undertaker's storyline half-brother, Kane. Kane was not revealed as Bearer's son until April 27, 1998, on Raw is War, a day after the first Inferno Match, at Unforgiven, where Kane was set on fire. In this first appearance for the character, Kane cost The Undertaker a Hell in a Cell match to determine the #1 contendership for the WWF title against Shawn Michaels. Bearer's leading catch phrase was "Ohhhh, yes!" Moody made his first appearance in February 1991, as a heel, when Brother Love, who originally managed The Undertaker, delegated Bearer to take on the role of The Undertaker's manager.
