The Undertaker reveals Paul Bearer conversation with Stephanie McMahon
Stephanie McMahon has another rare gem for the WWE Universe, which has held The Undertaker and Paul Bearer in high regard for many years. Two of the most iconic characters in wrestling history, Taker and his manager, remained at the top through different eras and are still relevant today. In a candid chat with Stephanie McMahon, The Deadman opened up on The Father of Destruction.
William Moody began his wrestling journey as a ringside photographer while still a teenager, then wrestled some while in the Air Force. He later became famous as one of the top wrestling managers: Percival "Percy" Pringle III, also known as Paul Bearer. The funeral director linked up with The Demon of Death Valley in February 1991; the rest was history. Bearer was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014 and honored by "his sons," Taker and Kane. As the daughter of Vince McMahon, Stephanie had a front row seat for the action, and once infamously participated in a storyline with The Ministry of Darkness.
The Phenom took to X today to share a clip from his episode of Stephanie's Places, which was filmed at Madison Square Garden, to premiere tomorrow on ESPN+. The Undertaker told Stephanie about his chemistry with Bearer, and confirmed the story about the 2014 WWE Hall of Famer keeping his mortician's license valid just in case his wrestling career didn't work out. The 60-year-old WWE Legend captioned the post with remarks on the chat with McMahon and the working relationship with Bearer.
"Really enjoyed chatting with my good friend @StephMcMahon about many things including the legendary Paul Bearer…a man who not only understood his character, but mine as well. Check out #StephaniesPlaces streaming tomorrow on @ESPNPlus. @WWE @OmahaProd," The Undertaker wrote.
The Deadman's interview with Stephanie McMahon will be released on Thursday via Hulu and Disney+. Each episode has been released on the two additional platforms for bundle subscribers, one day after the premiere on ESPN+.
Stephanie McMahon to interview WWE greats
The end of the first season of Stephanie's Places on ESPN+ is approaching. Before this week, Stephanie McMahon had seven episodes air, featuring CM Punk and Triple H, Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley and Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, Charlotte Flair, The Bloodline, and Pat McAfee.
After this week's episode with The Undertaker at Madison Square Garden, next week's guest will be Triple H, filmed at Allegiant Stadium during WrestleMania 41 weekend. The finale will then air on May 28, featuring John Cena at his personal gym.
WWE has not announced a second season of Stephanie's Places yet. Stephanie McMahon and WWE recently launched her podcast, "What's Your Story?" which features her best friend Elyse Dudzinski as the co-host.
