Birthdays, Anniversary, and such...

Birthday wishes go out today to my sister, Joan Marie. Seen in the photo above sitting on the ground, and below in the middle. Of course that's me in the rocking chair holding my baby brother Harry "Bubba," and that's him in the picture below on the left.
We continue to ask for you prayers for brother "Bubba" today, as he continues his battle with cancer. He's back in the hospital again.
Today is also my dear friend and mentor Cowboy Bob Kelly and his dear wife Chris' 49th wedding anniversary. I think the world of them. Congratulations, we love you guys! The picture was taken at our GULF SOUTH WRESTLING event a couple of weeks ago.
WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT is returning to my hometown of Mobile on August 5th, at The Mitchell Center. Tickets go on sale July 8th. I'm sure we will see you there, neighbors!

Take care.

Chiseled in stone... 2 years ago today

Two years ago on this date the Paul Bearer character was cemented at WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT'S first GREAT AMERICAN BASH in Norfolk, VA. The three photos below are not screen captures, they were taken by a friend with a digital camera.
Seriously, I was scared to death. It was a very dangerous stunt. Any malfunction would have not only ended Paul Bearer, but me, myself, and I. In the photo above, I was preparing myself mentally, for what was about to take place.
WWE took every precaution just in case something went wrong. Without a doubt, this will always stand out on top of my memories during my 14-year run as Paul Bearer.
In this picture, the cement starts to rise to up to my "chins." I still get asked more about this event than any other thing I did with The Undertaker.

No matter if there may be a return for the Paul Bearer character or not one day, from my heart I can truly say that I have been blessed to see the world over and over again, and to have made so many lifelong friends. Thanks for the memories...
