ClassicsGuy Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 on a side note, what was his real name ? i've been confused about this now since i always thought it was Percy Pringle but a lot more people seem to refer to him as bill moody or even william moody...i have no clue anymore which was his legit name and which were just stage names lol.. Â It's because everyone in the business called him Percy or Perce. He answered to Percy, you buy a shoot interview with Percy Pringle, it's what he went by. Just like all Triple H's mates call him "Hunter" instead of Paul. Â Well, apart from his new best mate, Bruno Sammartino. He calls him Paul all the time, especially in this CBS interview: Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...p;v=B5WMkU4Gwts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sphinx Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I've been waiting in to collect a bath for my Mum today. As I was making a cuppa, she said 'one of them wrestlers has died'. Â Your Mum actually speaks like that? Â Would it be that much of a surprise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted March 9, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 9, 2013 I was thinking that his funeral will probably be one of those really well attended by the wrestling community, given how well connected he was and the fact that absolutely nobody seemed to have a bad word to say about him. He seemed to be very well loved. One of the good guys for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffbag Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Nice of TNA to acknowledge his passing at start of Impact and the comments by Pritchard and Snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted March 12, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 12, 2013 As well as having a lot of friends there, he did work in TNA as Percy Pringle for a period. They're usually pretty good at making sure they acknowledge guys who worked there. Â Anyhow, this is the first time I've posted in this thread, so RIP & Roll Tide, Uncle Paul.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted March 13, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 13, 2013 He was part of Russo's S.E.X stable for about one second, then he was kicked out wasn't he? My mind is all fuzzy regarding TNA of the 2003 period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShowOff Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Nice of TNA to acknowledge his passing at start of Impact  Yeah I saw that - that was a WWE photoshoot snap as well they used. I wonder if they got permission, or whether they just grabbed it off a Google image search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 13, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 13, 2013 Nice of TNA to acknowledge his passing at start of Impact  Yeah I saw that - that was a WWE photoshoot snap as well they used. I wonder if they got permission, or whether they just grabbed it off a Google image search.  They probably got permission, but I can't imagine WWE kicking up much of a fuss if they didn't - they wouldn't look too good if they did. Plus, most importantly, in the grand scheme of things, it's just not that big a deal, I reckon. Brief tribute to someone who contributed greatly to wrestling; it'd only be a big deal if they made a storyline out of it using his Paul Bearer gimmick (I can't think of any way they could do that without it being shit).
