Sean “X-Pac” Waltman, who was recently granted a WWE Legends contract, spoke candidly on the passing of long-time friend Paul Bearer, in a blog exclusively written for Wrestlezone.com and PWTorch. Below is an excerpt from the interview – follow this link for the full story.
“So I got to know Percy at a very young age & he was very good to me, just because he was that great of a guy. He had no other incentive to do so. Once he left with Rick Rude for TX, I never saw him again until I was finally hired by Vince in 93. That’s when I really got to know & appreciate what a stellar human being, husband, & father he was. He had a sense of humor that was very funny & a bit dark sometimes. He would tell a joke about someone that was gut busting funny, but often “too soon” as comics like to ask these days. He & Curt Hennig both shared that sense of humor & neither apologized for it. Nor should they have. No one would appreciate a tasteless joke about his passing more than he would.”
