Bearer demands a moment of silence, and this is all quite creepy now on a whole different level. Paul had runs, long ones, where he annoyed the living shit out of me, but he was always a pro regardless of the material he sometimes had to work with. He was really effective here, before he decided that speaking in a falsetto was the proper way to go.

Funeral Parlor has now replaced the Brother Love show as the premiere interview vehicle in the WWF. I always thought the set looked awesome for this with the green fog and the beginning show with everyone being afraid to come on was very unique and smart for WWF standards.

They had untelevised segments of the Funeral Parlour at the 2/18/91 Superstars taping. I'm curious if any guests appeared, or if all the segments at that taping were like the 3/30/91 Superstars Funeral Parlour with just Bearer talking and no guests.

I think this would have been more effective with Taker backing Percy up. It certainly would have made more sense for prospective guests to be afraid of facing Taker than afraid of a bunch of mist and some cardboard tombstones.

 

There wasn't much to this, really. The broadcasters got off the best lines; I liked Savage's "Just what I need, something upbeat!" and Piper not recognizing it as sarcasm, as well as Savage wondering if Hogan was in one of the tombstones. Not yet, Randy, but wait a few months!

 

I've said this in a few other threads, but I agree with Pete about Percy's falsetto. His voice was naturally high to begin with, but to use that extra-high tone all the time really emphasized the hokeyness of the Paul Bearer character, even as Taker was doing his level best to come off as 100% legit.

 

I still don't see what this segment could possibly have over the return of Piper's Pit, but I'm willing to give it a chance to get rolling.
