I met him 4 years ago and he met my youngest sister asking her of she liked wrestling. She said no in a nice way and he smiled and said it was no big deal after he noticed my reaction at my sisters answer took s pictures with us and a class act this guy is.
paul london and brian kendrick deserve to be in the WWE HOF it boggles my mind how the company doesnt even mention this Great tag team . they even had a record . One of Smackdowns greatest tag teams
@james Nas i grew up watching them on Smackdown and they were the longest reigning champs at one point , Wtf has Low Ki done in WWE To compare to either of the two in the tag team ? Stfu youre a hater your statement didnt even make sense .
They were the tag champs when i watched sd for the first time as a kid. Rey Mysterio was injured or something and no one else was a highflyer so they really were the coolest wrestlers in my eyes (apart from the main eventers)
There's always the one comment of indignant outrage from superfan: that WWE couldn't see what a talent they had on their hands with (insert midcard wrestler here) and poorly mismanaged his/her career. Lmao. It always cracks me up, especially when they say the wrestler "deserved better" or deserved this or that....just hilarious.
@@JarodJoseph ive only seen clips so far but im def gonna watch the whole thing. Hes a straight shooter which i appreciate. Also that podcast is awesome. Its refreshing to hear honest stories with no sugar coat.
Saw Paul London acting in some random movie on television and thought wow, have not seen him for a long time. Good to see he's doing other things than just being involved in the wrestling business.
@@chriscros13 Late response I apologize, it was the movie "Killer Competition" he played a detective and it took a while for me to recognize him because I hadn't seen him in a hot minute at that point.
lol, I love how in EVERY story about ANY interaction that ANYONE has ever had with Vince McMahon, he always comes off as some sort of larger than life alien.
Some don't know or remember Paul London. He was one of the most energetic, acrobatic, jumping, gymnastic wrestlers ever. He did some of the craziest s#^t I've ever seen in wrestling like double and triple back flips off the ropes, running on the ropes around the ring, etc., but, man, did he give and take some brutal, bloody beatings. A truly unique wrestler who should be acknowledged and remembered. Good to see he is intelligent and well-spoken after all that.
@Josh Allen Nope, Paul London defeated Daniel Bryan in a best of 3 match in Ring Of Honor. Both had amazing athleticism and really put on a show for the crowd
I'm just learning about this story! Looking at the clip, I do have to say Paul London's grin was an dumb choice on his part when you compare it to everybody else's face and tone (just keeping it real). That said, I love it because it stand out and is so weird! I'm glad he did it! ^_^
@@jojonr619 Paul London is chill and cool, many other wrestlers he's worked with consider him a good friend and a good person but CM Punk is an asshole who is a mark for himself and has a stick lodged way up his ass, is bitter about everything, talks a load of crap, thinks he's still a top guy and talks down on so many other wrestlers and people in the business...Punk is a real life heel because he comes across as a really shitty person. I will NEVER understand how you can actually think that Punk is a chill dude.
Paul London needs to be protected at all costs. He's so entertaining and quick. He's totally himself but is the only guy who reminds me of cm punk but I'd listen to Paul all day
Wait? Did i enter some mandela effect scenario? I remember vince going up to london in that segment and saying something liike "what are you smiling about"
Does anyone know who he is talking about that tried to sabotage his career and get with his girl and also who was his gf at the time? Sorry Idk much about Paul Londons career. I started to fall off WWE at that time. I grew up on Austin so this period was tough to watch for me 🤷♂️
It's crazy how he looks like he came from the 70s
Paul London did some great in-ring spots and made simple bumps look sickening. Talented guy.
@Thė Nīnth HærtYeah, well... unfortunately WWE has a long track record of mishandling their talent.
@Thė Nīnth Hært Nah he's definitely the first Paul London
Man was the AJ Styles of WWE lowkey

It was bullshit that they ended their title reign just a few days before they had a one year title reign.
@Thė Nīnth Hært who died and made you the leader of deciding whos " worthy " plenty of people in that HOF with less accomplishments than this tag team

Paul london is such a great talent I loved him in the early 2000s
paul is a fantastic storyteller....its a shame he doesnt do more interviews
Check out his Cafe de Rene episode
@@JarodJoseph ive only seen clips so far but im def gonna watch the whole thing. Hes a straight shooter which i appreciate. Also that podcast is awesome. Its refreshing to hear honest stories with no sugar coat.
He's on Rene Dupree's UA-cam channel frequently, he's got great stories on there.
The person London is talking about is Matt Hardy, he dated Ashley after the Edge/Lita thing and then when they broke up she dated London
Saw Paul London acting in some random movie on television and thought wow, have not seen him for a long time. Good to see he's doing other things than just being involved in the wrestling business.
Cool. Which movie?
@@chriscros13 Late response I apologize, it was the movie "Killer Competition" he played a detective and it took a while for me to recognize him because I hadn't seen him in a hot minute at that point.
We stand for Paul London.
He was an awesome wrestler...sad; things had to end the way they did. 🤦🏻♂️
He still wrestles
@Thė Nīnth Hært ok internet expert I’m sure you know alllllll about it from your internet research
Nice to hear his side of the story
Paul London looking real 1970s
Paul London = VERY underrated!
Dude Paul London lowkey resembles Christian Bale!
A bit of Brian Cox as well.
My first memories of smackdown was Paul & Brian's cool entrance
I love that this is the same shirt he wore about 12 years prior with Daniel Bryan in ROH lmao
Man, he loves that Jim Kelly shirt. Was watching his pwg promos and he was wearing it.
I remember his first time in wwe when he got a title shot against brock lesnar lol. He got closeline so hard he did a back flip lol
Was he the one that Brock threw into the ring post...on the outside? Or was that Taka Michinoku? ...or was it both? 🤔😂
What a cool guy, first time I hear him talk haha
I always wondered why he never climbed up in the WWE. He always had a cool presence in the ring
Shawn lost his smile, Paul’s smile lost him his job.
To be fair he didn't lose it right away this happened in June of 2007 he lost his job in the summer of 2008
Always been a huge Paul London fan.

That was the best. London friggin smiling
Matt Hardy is the other wrestler he is talking about sabotaging his career.
matt had dated ashley prior to that right?
@@arnulfololll That's what I heard Matt say before...And I THINK Paul said that in another interview were he exposed Matt.
@@arnulfololll why did they have beef though all because he dated ashley ?
@@samanthasims7123 the power of woman, or uhmm, I'm sorry, womxn.
@@samanthasims7123 pretty sure Matt was jealous of London for dating his ex yeah
Would be awesome to see Paul London vs AJ Styles for WWE Gold.
@Josh Allen Nope, Paul London defeated Daniel Bryan in a best of 3 match in Ring Of Honor. Both had amazing athleticism and really put on a show for the crowd
@@Jomster777 wwe isn’t the indies bro
@@Whiteboifrumdaeast yea, WWE isn’t that good.
@@binxboi7156 i guess if you consider long boring vanilla midget matches good lol
@@binxboi7156 London is good but Aj Styles is a top star. His stock and star power is above and beyond London’s so no.
Crazy how what really happened is NOTHING like the internet says it is. Let that sink in......
But this is the internet...
@@the_antisocial u know what he meant
Imagine this tag team and Cm Punk formed a faction
I lost it when he said "Vince is gonna be in the ring and he's gonna be acting very queer" 😂😂😂
They could re-sign London and give him the Smile Man gimmick!!!!😂❤😊

Paul London gave 0 f's 😂
During this era Paul London would be a huge star in the WWE
For some reason, London and CM Punk seem... a bit similar in the way they talk. I dunno, maybe it's just me.
I know right I felt the exact same
I can see it. Both seem like chill dudes
@@jojonr619 london is chill but punk is arrogant af tbh comes off as cocky

Faith No More is bad ass.
Don't worry Paul, you didn't ruin the storyline. That title is reserved for Chris Benoit
Paul London is one of the absolute best talents that WWE ever had. They just didn't realize it. LOVED HIS MATCHES. 🔥
He looks like a member of the Beatles
Paul London needs to be protected at all costs. He's so entertaining and quick. He's totally himself but is the only guy who reminds me of cm punk but I'd listen to Paul all day
Him and Jeff Hardy were my favorite they had the best toys .
He kinda looks and sounds like Stevie Richards here. Never noticed that before…
Faith no more is awesome
Don't lie
They care a lot.
Wait? Did i enter some mandela effect scenario? I remember vince going up to london in that segment and saying something liike "what are you smiling about"
Maybe you’re remembering the “deja vu” part Paul mentioned later
Didn’t even have to look it up. I strangely recall that exact moment of that silly segment
There're lots of things you don't get, Vince!
I mean even if they hadn't intended Paul London to be a part of that angle why not just run with it? They didn't have to make him the culprit.
Guy always reminded me of keanu reeves
He reminds me of the Super Saiyan.
Which one?
You need help.
LMAO I had to look this up- and yea, he DID have a huge shit eating grin 😂😂😂😂😂 Not his fault though
Interesting haircut.
He should join aew and get a real push
Definitely
Don't think he would wanna go where Matt Hardy is signed.
@@XDSebas1 besides AEW is a joke, not any better than current WWE.
@@ValiantWrestling respect your opinion
All Petite yo.
If it was hbk in the attitude era it would have been fine these stories show he likes to bully wrestlers and keep them on edge
Hes talking about HardCore Holly
No it was Matt Hardy
@@BenniLancaster it happened to him so he thinks he can do it to somebody else 😂🤦🏾♂️
I didn't watch wrestling for about 3 years. I missed the whole run. Couldn't care less about them
Lol the the quotations when he says queer...
He didnt notice that no one else was smiling?
A bit odd he took like 15 years to respond
He is talking about Matt hardy I think?
Yeah he hates one of “the brothers” but “Jeff is cool…” from Cafe De Rene
@@GreenTreesAndFlowers matt dated ashley for a while
It was definitely matt Hardy who was trying to get with his missus.
Does anyone know who he is talking about that tried to sabotage his career and get with his girl and also who was his gf at the time? Sorry Idk much about Paul Londons career. I started to fall off WWE at that time. I grew up on Austin so this period was tough to watch for me 🤷♂️
Matt Hardy
@@erinlorca1240 really? Didn't see that coming with his whole sympathy from the fans for the Lita thing
The guy he's talking about is Bob Backlund!
Lol, no, its Sgt slaughter.
@@DUFFYISBACK I may rewatch the video I can't even remember 😅
@@BootsMacD its matt hardy btw
@@DUFFYISBACK 👍🏻
Love Paul London but damn if anyone isn’t smiling why would you? 😂
Cause it is a joke?
Who was the guy trying to steal his girlfriend and that tried getting him in trouble?
Matt Hardy
Leave it to Vince to use queer like it used to be used lol he probably says “we had a gay ole time” as well😂😂
faith no more only had 2 good albums
In the grand scheme of things, pretty irrelevant compared to what happened next.
the wwe sounds like a cult 🤣
FUTURE 🧐 WWE HALL OF FAMER
Never in a million years
If Brian Kendrick wasn’t a lunatic the maybe they would get inducted as a tag team.
Its shoots "on", not about. LOL What a dork.
Aew
all petite.
Boooooooorrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg
