History YMMV / PaulBearer

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Not him directly, the WWE and CM Punk using his "ashes" as a way to bait The Undertaker. While some fans were up in arms about it and criticized the company for it, Wrestling/JimCornette, of all people (a personal friend of Bearer's and NOT afraid to criticize the WWE), defended the angle saying that he would've loved every minute of it.

* [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously Took The Bad Gimmick Seriously]]: Sure it's a silly gimmick, but the fact that Paul was having so much fun with it made it all worthwhile.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Given his gimmick it was inevitable that with him having died in 2013, certain moments in his career are a bit uncomfortable to watch (coming out of a casket in 2010 for example).

* OneOfUs: The crowd at Wrestlemania XX just about ''blew the roof off'' of the Garden when Paul's classic "Ohhh, yesss!" came over the PA. This wasn't just because of his legendary status as a manager, but also because Paul made a point to be accessible to the fans as best as he could, particularly on social media, where he was the most interactive with them. This was because Paul himself ''was'' a fan as much as he was a superstar in his own right. The fans were literally welcoming not just Paul Bearer, but one of their own back to the Garden. You could tell he was having a blast at their reaction, too.

** ONCE, after a match where the Brothers of Destruction wrestled against MrKennedy and MVP, he appeared to congratulate them.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: He had blonde hair during his pre-WWE days, which made him look like BobbyHeenan.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: It took the man's death before Paul Bearer ever appeared as a uniting force for the Brothers of Destruction, only ever coming into play on ''either'' Wrestling/TheUndertaker ''or'' Wrestling/{{Kane}}'s behalf (and against the other if they were feuding at the time).

* {{Narm}}: It's a wonder TheUndertaker was able to keep a straight face around him most of the time.

** Or the fact that his last appearance on WWE TV saw him rolled into a freezer by Wrestling/{{Kane}} ...and he was never seen again on WWE TV after that.
