William Moody – Gastric Bypass Surgery

For Wrestlemania fans, William Moody is the guy with black locks with powdered white face summoning supernatural powers through his urn along with The Undertaker. Best known for his WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) wrestling moniker Paul Bearer, he performed on-screen management duties for wrestlers such as The Undertaker, Kane, and Mankind for over 20 years. Away from the ring, he is a real-life mortician with a degree in Mortuary Science.

Moody left the WWE in 2002 and was only seen occasionally during his absence on the wrestling circuit. Always the man carrying an extra bulge, he admitted that he weighed 525lbs once during his hiatus. He underwent surgery for weight loss and lost over 300lbs and got healthier. He finally returned to the WWE world in 2004, this time managing The Undertaker. He passed away in  2013 at the age of 58 due to a heart attack and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014.
