WWE: Predicting 6 More Candidates That Will Enter Hall Of Fame 2014

3. Paul Bearer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTxmjud_IwM When Paul Bearer died last March a lot of wrestling fans figured he was going to get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame right away. Due to his storied career as one of wrestling's greatest managers, it seemed like a no brainer. It didn't happen in 2013 because the lineup was already full and it was also too soon after his death. Now that it's a year later, the time seems right for Bearer to be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame. Bearer's resume is very strong since he was a part of WWE for the majority of 22 years from 1990 to 2012. There were times when he wasn't seen for months at a time, but he was a pretty much a staple during that period. Most known as the manager of The Undertaker, Bearer also spent time managing the likes of Mankind, Vader and his storyline son Kane. I'll never forget when Bearer told Jerry Lawler the story about how he was Kane's father. It was done in a comical way even though it was a very serious storyline. It just showed how much depth Bearer had as a performer. Most Hall of Fame ceremonies have at least one person that gets inducted posthumously. I think Bearer will be that one this year. It's a shame that Bearer won't be there to accept it, but it's also the right thing to honor a man like him that accomplished so much in his career.
