By coincidence, Bearer had actually worked as a mortician before joining sports entertainment. His chilling appearance, creepy delivery, and full dedication to his character made him a great companion to Undertaker's monolithic presence.

For six years, Undertaker and Paul Bearer were inseparable. That all changed in the shocking moment from SummerSlam 1996. During the infamous Boiler Room Brawl against Mankind, Paul Bearer would turn on his long time ally and aid Mankind in getting the victory.
