10 Wrestling Storylines That Killed A Character

2. Paul Bearer - Death By Concrete

937014

Paul Bearer would actually be killed quite a few times on WWE television, but the one that stands out the most was at the Great American Bash 2004.

Originally kidnapped by the Dudley Boyz under Paul Heyman's orders, Bearer was locked in a glass crypt at the Pay-Per-View. Heyman booked Undertaker in a handicap match with the Dudleys and told him he must throw the match or else the crypt would fill with cement.

Undertaker would win the match, but he revealed that he couldn't risk his long-time friend and mentor being used against him again, and so he pulled the lever himself, burying Bearer (or at least his stunt double) in concrete. Thankfully this was not shown during William Moody's posthumous Hall of Fame Induction.

As a wrestling fan I've flown across the Atlantic for the last five years specifically to attend WrestleMania (28 and 30) as well as TNA, ROH, Evolve, Chikara and most recently PWG. I may have a problem! But if you're reading my work then you probably love wrestling too, so lets focus on that!
