10 Coolest Day Jobs Of WWE Stars Before They Made It

10. Paul Bearer Was Actually A Mortician

By the time he got to WWE, the man known as Paul Bearer already had a very successful career in pro wrestling. Percy Pringle III was a manager in the territories; most notably World Class Championship Wrestling in Texas. Pringle was highly regarded as a great mouthpiece and advocate for the men that he managed to main event status and championship titles. Of course, that funny and colorful individual disappeared the day Pringle painted his face white and began accompanying a seven foot zombie wrestler to the ring. Pringle's work with The Undertaker is the stuff of legend and for many of the WWE faithful, it's hard to even imagine him in a different role. However, Paul Bearer's role before Percy Pringle was even born was one that many fans would find very recognizable; he was a mortician. The ghostly faced talisman that wailed warnings of Taker's supernatural origins actually had some very grave beginnings himself. While breaking into the territories as Pringle, Paul Bearer decided to step back a bit and was certified as a mortician as well as an embalmer. Though this may not sound like the coolest job that many fans have ever heard of, the fact is that considering the character Paul later became, it is one of the most ironic and the most fitting. That is cool all by itself.
