i personally think we dont know the whole story because it would make sense for them to get mad for doing something so dangerous without permission which they have a history of doing the only history they have with heat for getting urself over was when u did it thru outside means like zack ryder
Went to a house show in Burlington, Vermont I believe in 2004 with my brother. Paul London was one of the only wrestlers who came outside after the show to talk to fans. He signed our tickets and chatted for a while. Really awesome guy! And if you are reading this by some chance, thank you for that Paul. Almost 20 years later and my brother and I still talk about it.
Thats awesome. He did a podcast were he talked about the other Smackdown wrestlers big Leaguing the fans. And how he thought that was bs and made time for the fans.
That’s not surprising. Met him a few times at Indy shows in Austin. He was one of the most approachable wrestlers there and the only one to have had been with any major promotions at the time. From the few convos I’ve had from him it definitely seems like he really appreciates the fans.
Paul london did a great job on that spot. Snitsky was a "MONSTER" heel at that time and needed heat. So, Paul london did a great job selling that move. Paul london is not even injured on that spot.
Right this story makes NO SENSE they knew what Paul was going to do. He did it, it looked great they highlighted it bringing the stretcher ect….yet he’s the problem?
My God, the perversions all around. Maybe it's a small joke by Paul to stick it to Hayes, a man he dislikes, and maybe there's a hint of truth behind it.
They hate it when you get yourself over, they want to be the ones responsible for that so if you're not getting a push it's hard to gain any momentum because if you try, it will pop, fans will love it...but sadly they'll take you off TV and put you down the card...terrible. I 100000% agree with Paul and support him for his decision, it became a very memorable and enjoyable rumble thanks to him
Uhhh that’s because rasslin is SCRIPTED, genius. They have prior storylines written & planned out. Someone getting over organically isn’t ideal. Do you know how writing works...?
I liked Paul's mini rant about the ridiculousness how they have guys avoid being eliminated now. it was cool when John Morrison first did it. then Kofi did a few cool moments. but now it's like okay if they can do that, then every guy should land on one foot to avoid being eliminated.
Yeah, I remember Shelton Benjamin doing some cool stuff, too, but it really gets convoluted and ridiculous after a few guys get some pops, and then it becomes some weird parkour thing.
@@theecharmingbilly I feel that hard, and I feel the reason for that is cause they had kofi do it the fire ttiemC which was fire, the handstand, then tho they had it avoid in a “cool” way that it became played out!!
The fact that they say his elimination took away from the other ones and rather than telling other people to step their game up they punish him is crazy
I think Paul should be proud that he got approval by the guy who created the Royal Rumble. If the creator gives you props for improving his creation, wear that like a medal
His elimination and Nunzio getting his entire soul speared right out of his body by Goldberg a few years later are the two most realistic looking spots in the entire history of the Royal Rumble.
@@chaospoet a botch is not the same as a real move or even realistic move. Argument...misunderstood. Nobody out there was thinking it was real. They would have made the same noise if he landed on his feet. They were cheering the spectacle.
RVD has spoken about it before too. He mentioned a spot where Jericho was politicking in regards to a match between the two where there would be interference during an attempted superplex and both guys would be hit with a chair, only for Jericho to land on RVD and get the pin. Despite not making any sense for the spot, Jericho was insisting on being the one about to deliver the superplex, which we can assume was because he didn’t want to look like the guy who was about to lose the match before the interference. Just ridiculous.
@@RihardololzMeanwhile, Jericho is allegedly inviting female wrestlers to his hotel room and propositioning them Steven Seagal style. Yet you want to make a big deal about smoking weed. 🤣
Not really, if he still has resentment after 20 years of irrelevance, you cannot call him Great person when he is a little bit h with a superior complex. Stop trying to justify these guys because you love to hate WWE as let’s be fair here you are an ex wwe fan who probably loves who the Indy darlings.
@@justsomeoldyoutuber6093 exactly and from 9:00 nobody who's a "good person" would be envious enough to go out of their way to throw shade like that. Dude is over bitter, fake humble and has a horrible, entitled attitude. The fans who enable these types of characters are even worse and the biggest bozos out there
Who ever made the selection for the video was probably not aware of this heat. There's almost 8 years between that Rumble and the post of that Top 10. Nice to see Maven's moment in there as well. Besides that Paul couldn't benefit from that highlight anymore, but the company sure could.
It's outright criminal how much WWE underutilized guys like London at that time. The man had so much going for him at the time that WWE outright ignored.
2000s had some of the best talent but creative had no idea what to do with them, Kendrick and london, too cool, maven, spike Dudley, sean o haire, super crazy, yoshi tatsu, jamie noble, really Anyone who wasnt a giant roided out freak liks batista or cena
You know, Paul just created an instantly memorable visual that also made Snitsky look like a fucking beast, so naturally he should be punished for that. So much weird jealousy in wrestling.
Yeah because they were pissed off the best moment of the rumble featured Snitsky and London, who were midcarder at best at that time... This spot completely outshined all the rest of the rumble.
I wanna say you guys please dont beat your self up . You guys will be remembered more than most of the wwe today because your nostalgic and people watched and payed to see u and now nobody’s doing either now ! you made it .
I remember absolutely hating you when you were in the WWE which was such a testament to how good of a heel you were. Your french dance taunt thing that you'd do was so smug and awesome. Loved Paul London too he was so exciting and just seems like a real hilarious characteristic bloke when he exadurates to tell stories. I hope your channel thrives man thankyou for being such a huge part of my childhood didn't realise how much backstage political crap you guys endured
Paul London forgot the Clause in all WWE contracts. You’re not supposed to be “entertaining or give the crowd what they want”. London should have been bigger than he was. He had all the tools…the Charisma and the moves. But WWE had to stop him.
In WWE they hate it and punish you for it but later they will talk about it and claim it was something great. The mid card and lower card do have better insights on how backstage really works. If you listen to a Main Eventer they make sound like is Milk and Cookies.
I like the fact that pat patterson, the guy who is responsible for the royal rumble, went out of his way to give him the credit he deserved for that elimination just goes to show who the real ones were in that company.
Ive recently started watching this podcast and I’m extremely impressed with the third British fella ( I don’t know his name ) . He knows exactly when to input into the conversation without making it about himself . Extremely professional ! ( I think his name is James ?)
Is there a way to let Paul London know that almost everytime he was on my TV, dude was one of the highlights of the night. Every bit of his work and he deserved better. He literally could be a main eventer and people would leave satisfied. I hate that they knew his talent, he knew how to get over, he knew what fans wanted and always got a good reception and he got heat for it!!??? Its not his fault that fans preferred him over the fucking big stars. That's THEIR problem they arent on his level
Me and my friend always got together for every WWE events in the past when I was diehard Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania were our finest nights drinks song and food !
It's funny how the boys backstage hated this and say it took away from the other guys and other eliminations... but they didn't mention how it made Snitsky look like a BEAST They could've done something with him, even just a program with London afterwards would have been an awesome big guy vs little guy feud
@@wingedhussar1453 And that’s the problem with the company, right there. When somebody gets over by themselves, management decides to bury them instead of getting behind them. In what industry would it make sense to ignore the wants of your consumer?
@@markrobinson9394 that's not how it works in a business.they have money and time and the office is invested in this guy then someone who has nothing going for himself goes out and tries to make himself look good .doesn't work like that even in movies etc
Paul is One of the Best. I remember him inventing spots early. I will say, Personally he is a great person. Appreciate got to see him from the beginning. Great Job Rene for having him.
Michael Hayes lol "it was good.....a little too good"......and " lookin good boys ...lookin real good" ....Pure gold from Hayes that makes him even more legendary
Because Michael Hayes literally stood in the shadows watching London and Kendrick shower, and when they noticed him he says "lookin' good boys... lookin' REAL good." 😂😂
@@Rschr101 had to stop listening to his podcast and his guests who spend their first half sucking him of. Must be in the contract. Also how many years has he been wrestling and still such a sloppy worker
Ive watched this and John Toland's clips so far and it's good stuff. Just let guys tell their stories and react every now and then and you're good, but make it look and sound a little more professional
Out of the big 4 the rumble and survivor series are my favorites Wrestlemania and summerslam wad just the 2 biggest shows usually but their was no gimmick Love the unpredictability of the rumble and im a sucker for any kind of eliminations match
@@ishmael802 So in an interview with Highspot's London talked about when he and Kendrick first teamed up, they were getting good feedback from the likes of Jim Ross etc. After one post match...the two of them were showering and drying and talking about their match without realising that Michael Hayes had been watching them the whole time , leaning by the wall and said and I quote " Looking good boy's...Looking real good!"
That clothesline off the apron was great one of the most memorable moments didn't Kane chokeslam Sabu i believe it was though a table in that same Royal Rumble?
I swear, pro wrestling has to be the weirdest business ever. A wrestler's sole purpose is to get over, but when a wrestler does get over on his own merit he gets punished for it. How is one supposed to succeed?
Couldn't agree more with the "Kofi Rumble spots." They were all so awful and hacky so I got a little chuckle out the one he botched this year which might put that shit to rest.
WWE definitely had that old school mentality. I remember listening to Dutch Mantell talk about how you'd get into trouble for being too good, because you take away from the big name stars who'd have to keep making money. I guess once you do a spot that's too good, it took away from the actual spot fans was supposed remember? Well, they should step up their game.
Honestly I can’t get over how silly the politics are in pro wrestling. It sounds so incredibly petty with the weird unwritten rules and such. We’re all adults here man, why not act like adults lol.
I always said that London really made the highflying so interesting again and so fun it was bringing the spark back to it. It was a masterful, and he was actually one of my favorites to watch. They did him dirty I thought, and really should’ve pushed him absolutely harder to be Intercontinental contender at least because he would’ve put asses and seats with the work he did
"How dare you do better than we expected!"
If a company has that mentality, run away as fast as possible"
Bro Amen!!
How dare you do something Hunter can't. Lol
It's crazy he got so much heat for the best flip at a royal rumble ever.
i personally think we dont know the whole story because it would make sense for them to get mad for doing something so dangerous without permission which they have a history of doing the only history they have with heat for getting urself over was when u did it thru outside means like zack ryder
Because WWE is scripted they didn't want London to get over but someone else
Michael ''can I watch you shower'' Hayes WTF 😂😂😂
Looking good boys. Looking REAL good. 😂😂😂
WWE is weird Franchise man. One guy tries to do the best with what little he is given and gets heat.
@Sevside kev that’s not what he’s saying. The guy shouldn’t have gotten heat for doing something entertaining in a show about entertainment
@Sevside kev thats not what i am saying u Muppet. I am talking about this specific spot which paul london is referring to
They get by on unearned loyalty.
That's in any form of employment in a big company. Not exclusive to wrestling.
@Enochian Prophecies Nope just WWE. Most forms of entertainment applaud u for doing something out of pocket.

Paul london did a great job on that spot.
Snitsky was a "MONSTER" heel at that time and needed heat.
So, Paul london did a great job selling that move.
Paul london is not even injured on that spot.
Right this story makes NO SENSE they knew what Paul was going to do. He did it, it looked great they highlighted it bringing the stretcher ect….yet he’s the problem?

His elimination and Nunzio getting his entire soul speared right out of his body by Goldberg a few years later are the two most realistic looking spots in the entire history of the Royal Rumble.
Correction: Goldberg/Nunzio was first. I looked it up after to be sure. So my bad.
Nuzio body left his soul lol
A ridiculous backflip is not realistic looking. If that were real he would have just crumpled to the apron

"anyone who punts a baby into the crowd is instantly over. strap a rocket to him." -Vincent Kennedy McMahon, months before Snitsky's release
Agree with the Kofi spot every year being dumb
Once or twice was ok, but when they just kept manufacturing oddball things to keep it going it got stale and dumb.
I remember the first time I watched that one. I thought it was the most shocking and coolest elimination
