- WWE Legend Paul Bearer recently spoke with Chris Yandek of CYInterview.com
and says he knows he will be going into the WWE Hall of Fame one day,
whether it be next year or 5 years from now. Here are some highlights
from the interview:

His WWE status:

“People
that don’t know, that don’t see me, I am still involved. I’m still under
contract with WWE. I’m under a legends contract with WWE and I do
things now and then with them like WrestleMania and go do signings,
this, that and the other. Plus I work the independent organizations all
around the country. I go out to L.A. once a month and do Championship
Wrestling from Hollywood. We tape four weeks of TV once a month out
there and some months I’m busy every weekend doing wrestling stuff.”

Helping Ricardo Rodriguez:

“I think a hell of a lot of Ricardo Rodriguez who manages Alberto Del
Rio. He has become a very good friend of mine and I give him tips all
the time and not that he needs them. And when I see things that I like, I
let him know that I liked it and he’s very respectful and very, knows
the history of our business and he deserves to be where he’s at and
other than Ricardo Rodriguez, there really isn’t any managers, you know
WWE doesn’t have any managers. … Bobby Heenan and Lou Albano and I could
just go on and on and on, you know all the old school managers, there
are none.”

Mick Foley's WWE Hall of Fame induction:

“I love him dearly. I had so much fun managing him when he was Mankind
‘cause we was going against The Undertaker. … We just had so much fun
because he wore that mask, you know that covered half of his long hair
and that mask and all that and we were just like kids out there all the
time and I was the only one that could ever make The Undertaker laugh
and he could be laughing and nobody ever knew it and the same with Mick
Foley.”
