Daniel Moody, the son of legendary WWE manager Paul Bearer who wrestled on the independent scene as DJ Pringle, died Monday night. He was 39.<\/p>\n
A GoFundMe that was first posted seeking help with medical costs said that Moody \u201csuffered a major health crisis\u201d after undergoing a procedure on Nov. 7. The donation page is now looking for assistance for Moody\u2019s funeral costs.<\/p>\n
\u201cDaniel was the son of Paul Bearer \u2014 a man whose voice, presence, and character became part of wrestling history forever. And like so many second-generation names, Daniel carried that connection with him, while also being his own person in the wrestling world,\u201d Steve Stasiak of the Book Pro Wrestlers agency wrote on Facebook.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those who met him, worked with him, or simply followed along over the years, this one hits on a different level. There\u2019s history there. There\u2019s family there. And there\u2019s a bond to the business that never really leaves.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoments like this remind you how small the wrestling world really is\u2026 and how deep those roots go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moody\u2019s wrestling name was inspired by his father, who rose in the business as Percy Pringle before taking on the urn-carrying Paul Bearer character, who was the manager to The Undertaker in 1990.<\/p>\n
