D.J. Pringle (Daniel Moody), the son of the late Paul Bearer (Bill Moody), talked extensively about WrestleMania 30 Weekend and inducting Bill into the 2014 Hall of Fame in a recent interview.

The interview on "The Mike Roycroft Show" was recorded prior to the death of D.J.'s brother, Michael Moody.

- D.J. noted he did not talk during the HOF induction because he could not get through the talking points of the speech about their dad during rehearsals. He said he told Michael that he would have to do the speech.

- Prior to Bearer's induction was Mr. T's induction. D.J. recalled standing at the Gorilla position looking over to see Vince McMahon boiling as Mr. T.'s speech spilled over time. Kane, who was set to introduce Bearer's induction, was yelled at to get Mr. T off the stage.

- Asked about The Undertaker making a rare Hall of Fame appearance to tribute his dad, D.J. said "I held myself together until that point. When Michael and I walked off the stage, we stood right there where the camera could not see us right around the stage and stood there to watch Taker do that. That's when I got emotional."

- D.J. said he did not see any signs of health issues with Ultimate Warrior, but Michael spotted differences in Warrior's demeanor.

"To me, he was okay," he said. "But, even my brother said he didn't look the same. The way he talked, the way he walked, the way he presented himself. He was ready to go, I'm guessing, and he knew it."

D.J. added: "Being around him, I didn't see it. He was with his girls, with his wife, he was happy to be inducted. And the relationship I saw with him, Vince, and Triple H, it looked like it was completely changed from the relationship they did have with him."

- D.J. also talked about growing up in the wrestling business traveling from Texas to WWF, interacting with Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair in the 1990s, various road stories, and other topics.
