Still won't ever forget possibly their best performance as a team together in WWE during their Armageddon 2006 fatal 4 way tag team ladder match with them versus Nitro/Mercury, Regal/Taylor, and the Hardy Boyz.
London and Kendrick were my favorite thing about the WWE for probably close to 3 years. They had their record breaking run when I was in 6th grade and I was hooked!
You are always gonna get the best stories from the lower to miscard guys because they don't feel the need to sugarcoat things or "play nice" like the top guys
I’ve been watching these discussions these past few weeks and I’m hooked. It’s really made me appreciate the lower/midcard guys who never got the main event spots. There’s so much to learn from them. I love the personal experiences and raw insights of the business.
P.S Rene As much as you tried to get the fans to hate you, I couldn't hate a guy who came out with a dog named Fifi. I really enjoyed your matches, thank you for your contributions 🙏💪
Paul London has never been a conspiracy guy. I remember in the shoot interviews Paul would look at Brian like “Wtf are you talking about?” when Brian would go into UFOs rants out of no where. But Paul was a good friend and never once trashed Brian to his face about the Kooky rants. Its a shame Brian lost an opportunity with AEW for something out of 2011. We all make mistakes.
I've been part of professional media production sets, backstage production, and major network creative since a kid and to this day, Paul London stands out to me as a guy who just "has it" for show business. Few people have pissed Vince off to the point of no return but few have also laughed in his face as Paul did over that stupid limo explosion angle.
Didn't know Rene had a podcast. I enjoyed hating him as a kid. Good shit. Big fan of London too back then. And thoroughly enjoy hearing Paul talk as an adult. Gonna check this pod out from now on.
Would love for you to have Brian Kendrick on, hell maybe even clean the air between this two on another podcast . Besides Brian has apologized from his comments and trying to be better Cancelled or not, it is really sad to hear what happen between this 2 specially if Brian does seem to have some Severus CTE problems. I love both of them and grew up watching them, i still got some of ROH Paul London DvDs somewhere.
I had no idea you two broke up as friends, very sorry to hear this. As far as 9/11 goes, I truly believe with confidence that it was not what we thought it was or told what it was. I'll just leave it at that. I hope someday you two find some common ground. Life is too short.... Love the podcast.
@@lronshawcross2248 unfortunately that's the way it seems to be in order to keep a certain status. Too bad we live in a type of environment where most of us have to intentionally ignore even some of the most obvious things.
@@AlexSanchez-tj4ph it was awesome to make a long story short. I couldn't believe how tall John Cena was in his hands were huge when I shook them. My friend Henry, God rest his soul, asked Eddie Guerrero R.I.P, where's Chavo? and Eddie responded: he's washing his tights. 🤣
One of the most slept on tag teams , they broke records shame they don't get even talked about. Makes me feel like WWE are trying tk make them a favor dream of my child good but I will never forget the things I saw from those two and how cool they're masks were plus the double back flip lol as a kid you had to love them
Damn, my heart is broken to hear that they aren’t close anymore. They were my favorite team when I was a kid. I saw them in LA at No Way Out 2007 and it was cool to see them wrestle live. Sucks that they aren’t friends anymore :(
Spanky had anger management issues but also suffered quite a bit from CTE...doesn't excuse the things he said and you don't realise just how little you know someone despite years of working together very closely in tag matches, on WWE and on the indie scene. Two very different people, Paul and Spanky
@@49WWFcobianfan So you deny that Paul London suffers from this? You deny that Chris Benoit suffered from this? Of course it was confirmed after tests have been done on his brain however he had suffered from it for a very long time prior to his death. CTE is present whilst people are alive, regardless if it is a relatively new field of neurology that doctors are starting to understand more of, Daffney took her own life and was suffering symptoms associated with those who have died and have been diagnosed with CTE. No need to nit pick with a sarcastic comment I would prefer it if you were upfront and spoke up a little more about why you have such a major issue with my comment going beyond the fact that it is a difficult condition to diagnose until autopsy stage after death
I can't stand when people use CTE as an excuse for there actions. Brian Kendrick is just a douchebag, don't give him an excuse. It makes my eyes roll when wrestlers claim they have CTE knowing there is no possible diagnosis's for it. I don't believe the cause of the Benoit tragedy was because of CTE, there's no direct evidence that could cause someone to do something so horrific. I obviously know CTE is a serious brain condition, but we can't let every football player and wrestler use that as a excuse every time they get in trouble. Don't believe me? Look at the Aaron Hernandez murder documentary people really believe CTE was the reason he killed 2 people and of course everyone says the same about the Beniot tragedy. I fell it's unfair to the victims. My comment isn't directed personally at you but rather the way you causally give a wrestler a free CTE pass.
@@49WWFcobianfanI think you're missing the point, no one is necessarily giving him a pass for those specific edgy antics and negative traits, it's more about digging beyond the surface level. They are more likely just aware that you cannot really understand someone's thought process or overall character unless you know them personally. (Understanding =/= Condoning or agreeing)
He's open minded and it's hard for people to accept this lots of things were called conspiracy theorists satanic rituals ufos etc ut they are now called true.
London and Kendrick were my favorite Tag Team in the mid 2000s they were great especially Paul London always liked him more wish he would have been in CWC also
This is a great show! Been curious about what London and Kendrick have been up to these days, shame about the split... but that's just the way friendships go sometimes. Great to see Paul London though, and happy to see him lookin so healthy and with such a positive outlook on life!
More shocked by the fact that Paul has gone grey now tbh. He looks great, it just seems like he's still a little young for that. The time has really flown by faster than I thought.
I’ll say it, Paul London was/is hands down the most criminally underrated performer of our generation. Paul London, hangs with them all, Shawn, Benoit, Eddie, AJ, Devitt, Danielson, omega, okada, rush, bandido, all of them bro.
Hey Rene! I hope all is well. I remember actually having fond memories as a kid watching you and Kenzo being heels and me hating you as you fought RVD and Rey weekly. Love this podcast, and I am glad we have a podcast talking about the Ruthless Aggression side of things. All love here man. PS: Paul London should have been a much bigger star. It pisses me off that WWE screwed so many of you guys over. And apparently 15 years later, nothing has changed.
Brian Kendrick sounds like he has CTE a big give away is when Paul said on the voicemail he should of told him he was back in Cali. He wrestled him and Brian didn't even remember and thought Paul hasn't bothered to contact him. I know some disagree but I think weed can effect certain people mentally aswell.
Why did they wish that on Taker? Let me guess, it's because of Taker's critical remarks of modern-day wrestlers and smarks and also because of his political beliefs, is it?
No he does not it’s frustrating to have someone sabotage your career tho😂 did you forget they are tag team? If one fails they both do. How’d Paul London do as a solo? I’ll wait…
@@blackadam6445 what are you even saying? Who are you suggesting sabotaged who? And you are Implying London had a bigger solo career. But that is highly debatable…
@@Pushateetee83 nah you just can’t read bro. That isn’t what I’m implying at all. My sentiment is contrarian to what you just said. Paul London TRIED to go solo… got nowhere… THUS his tag team career was sabotaged by unhinged Kendrick like wtf this wasn’t hard
@@blackadam6445 so you are saying Kendrick sabotaged London’s career? That’s not true, but London may think so. Plenty of tag teams have one guy who goes off the rails, and the other guys career is fine. London is responsible for himself. And you are implying that London has no ill will towards Kendrick? Because your words imply you don’t think so.

Watched three clips from this podcast and they're all good. Thanks for having Paul on. Was always one of my favorites. Sucks about Brian. I want to believe he got his shit straight for his own good and everyone around him.
These two were LEGIT talented. And it's a damn shame about there friendship. There work in Japan speaks volumes. I always felt they were underutilized in the WWE. They actually didn't belong there because there talent was to good for that company. Meaning you only saw 1/4 of what they were truly capable of in the ring. I hope they can "mend fences" maybe time apart will do that. It has it's way of healing folks.
I always thought London was super entertaining, and quite frankly, really hot. Hearing him speak on things with humility and what appears to be open candor makes him even more appealing. Rene, your podcast is one of the best unfiltered looks at behind the scenes stuff. Thank you for you sacrifices and contributions to wrestling and to this podcast!
Man Rene Dupree is a name I havent heard in a hot minute, guess i gotta add this to the rotation of wrestling podcasts/podcast clips i listen to. Looks like paul is doing pretty decent. Used to love London and Kendrick as a kid, since thats when I started watching wrestling.
High Spots and RF Video were well known to not only purposely film wrestlers drunk or wasted but encouraged it by supplying the guys with whatever stuff they wanted before filming. Those train wreck interviews with many wrestlers saying disgusting and outlandish claims from both companies were no accident. They wanted the interviews to be as wild as possible without caring about the addiction problems some of the guys had when they made them. Worse still, a lot of the interviews were done because that was one of the only ways guys could get paid as their booking were down due to drug abuse.
They were my favorite tag team for the longest time. So much talent, I only wish I could've seen them on the Indy scene where some of the restrictions on them were lifted.
Wow.... If not CTE, did he start heavier stuff than weeds? Like folks doing horse for an extended period seem to suffer nonlinear memories and Wil just flake outta nowhere and dip out on you for weeks or months at a time, then return and act like it had only been a few days or a week since they'd spoken to ya or had hung out. It's sad, spooky, and frustrating all at once.
1st match I watched that got me into wrestling was London and Kendrick vs Deuce and Domino for the tag belts. Always loved the high octane energy you two brought. It's a shame about Kendrick, I always liked him
I used to think Spanky was charmingly nuts cause he would say stuff like how he thought the sun was actually cold and "fun" conspiracy theories like that
This is great! I've never seen the "real" Paul London before. If he doesn't wanna wrestle anymore...I don't blame him...but he does have such natural charisma. He should think about being a commentator for AEW...he's got the street cred for sure.
Never knew how good we had it with the man different tag teams we had during that time that actually had great fueds. Nowadays the tag division is a joke, having two scrawny Samoans beat talented tag teams that people would rather watch
I want to see Paul London Wrestle again especially with how he looks now I think it would be awesome! AEW world champion I want to see this! Paul London Rules!
the way paul puts it, brian kendrick comes off as a huge narcissist and truthfully london doesnt need someone like that around. sucks cuz all the time they spent on the road but thats life
So sad the way things ended with them. They are one of my favorite tag teams ever. They are criminally underrated tag team.

"50. 75. maybe 100."

I was at the show. It was great seeing them team up again, but you could see Paul was very irritated
Was it truly as annoying as Paul said?

Like folks doing horse for an extended period seem to suffer nonlinear memories and Wil just flake outta nowhere and dip out on you for weeks or months at a time, then return and act like it had only been a few days or a week since they'd spoken to ya or had hung out. It's sad, spooky, and frustrating all at once.
London and Kendrick were definitely ahead of their time
1st match I watched that got me into wrestling was London and Kendrick vs Deuce and Domino for the tag belts. Always loved the high octane energy you two brought. It's a shame about Kendrick, I always liked him
Sounds like the difference between the same guy on weed and cocaine.
Its like a minor version of CM Punk and Colt Cabana.
Chronic weed abuse is the culprit
Yea and potheads think it’s harmless though lol
@@skipsharpe9775 potheads will criticize every drug because weed comes from the earth however there are plenty things that come from the earth
I used to think Spanky was charmingly nuts cause he would say stuff like how he thought the sun was actually cold and "fun" conspiracy theories like that
Paul London was once equal with Brian Danielson. Gone were the days.
This is great! I've never seen the "real" Paul London before. If he doesn't wanna wrestle anymore...I don't blame him...but he does have such natural charisma. He should think about being a commentator for AEW...he's got the street cred for sure.
Shitting on someone you called friend just to distance yourself from him crazy world we live in if this is what we call friendship 😊
Never knew how good we had it with the man different tag teams we had during that time that actually had great fueds.
Nowadays the tag division is a joke, having two scrawny Samoans beat talented tag teams that people would rather watch
I want to see Paul London Wrestle again especially with how he looks now I think it would be awesome!
AEW world champion I want to see this!
Paul London Rules!
Screw your Bryan Danielsons and cm punks Paul London would be the best signing by far even if it wasn’t in a wrestling capacity
Rene casually cleaning his ear at 2:38
He might as well clip his nails too
Paul London is just mad because Brian Kendrick got a taste of the main event scene. Typical
Rene’s face staring at his screen lol
Paul london is a stand up guy and one of my favorite wrestlers !
Nice, I like Paul he's very creative and a smart guy. There should be more interviews with him he'll shoot straight.
Best tag team ever. I loved the matches in the netherlands💯
Imagine that, drugs fucking up someone's mind
the way paul puts it, brian kendrick comes off as a huge narcissist and truthfully london doesnt need someone like that around. sucks cuz all the time they spent on the road but thats life
This was a very good podcast
This guys gives me Keanu reeves vibes
It's the voice, all warm and sleepy and friendly🥰
Paul always seemed like the chiller one….Brian don’t act like a pothead.
Man I grew up watching London and Kendrick. Best tag team.
