Paul Michael London[7] (born April 16, 1980) is an American professional wrestler. He is currently signed to Major League Wrestling (MLW), where he performs as a wrestler and a producer. He is best known for his tenure in WWE.

After being trained at the Texas Wrestling Academy, London began competing for Ring of Honor where his high-risk offensive moves made him a fan favorite. He later competed for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Zero-One, and various independent promotions, winning numerous championships and won the ECWA Super 8 Tournament in 2003.

London made his debut in WWE in late 2003. In 2004 he began teaming with fellow cruiserweight Billy Kidman and they eventually went on to win the WWE Tag Team Championship. After Kidman retired from active competition, London formed a tag team with Brian Kendrick. After their split, London began competing in the cruiserweight division and won the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. In late 2006, Kendrick returned and the two reformed as a team. London and Kendrick were managed by Ashley Massaro. London and Kendrick won the WWE Tag Team Championship, becoming the longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions since the title's creation and the World Tag Team Championship.[3] The team split when Kendrick was drafted to the SmackDown brand in June 2008 and London was released later that year. In 2009, he returned to the independent circuit, competing for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, where he was one half of the former PWG World Tag Team Champions with partner El Generico under the team name ¡Peligro Abejas!.

Early life

[edit]

London was born in Austin, Texas, and has two older brothers, Daniel and Jonathan. In 1996, Daniel was killed by a drunk driver at the age of nineteen.[1][8] Jonathan is a music video director.[9] London attended Westlake High School in Texas.[1] He helped create the school's first-ever wrestling team where he was the captain, first varsity letterman and previously held the record for the fastest pinfall time of 7.4 seconds but was broken by 2x State Champion and Austin Westlake Great Justin Wood at 6.9 seconds.

Professional wrestling career

[edit]

Early career (2000–2003)

[edit]

After graduating from high school, London trained at several wrestling schools, including a trailer park in West Memphis, Arkansas and a school run by Ivan Putski in North Austin, Texas. He debuted in 2000.[1] London made his first appearance at WCW Greed on March 18, 2001, as an audience member during the Diamond Dallas Page and Scott Steiner WCW World Heavyweight Championship match. He later enrolled in Shawn Michaels' wrestling school, the Texas Wrestling Academy, where he was trained by Rudy Gonzales.[10] Early in his career, London made brief appearances in Japanese promotion Pro Wrestling Zero-One (Zero1) and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). London competed in Zero1 for several months on a match-by-match basis, beginning in January 2003, before turning down a contract.[1] London was contacted by TNA after ROH's one-year anniversary show, and told that they were interested in him doing some matches on a try-out basis.[11] On February 12, 2003, he made his TNA debut in a Gauntlet match against Jerry Lynn, which he lost.[12][13] London competed mainly in the company's X Division, even earning shots at the NWA TNA X Division Championship.[14] His last appearance in TNA was on June 18, 2003, at the TNA Anniversary show.[15] He wrestled X Division Champion Chris Sabin for the title, only to lose due to interference from CM Punk.[15] London has said that he viewed his time in TNA as a "stepping stone", but knew that he did not want to be there long-term.[11] London also made several appearances for East Coast Wrestling Association and won the 7th Annual ECWA Super 8 Tournament.[5]

Ring of Honor (2002–2003; 2013–2014)

[edit]

He made his debut in Ring of Honor (ROH) on March 30, 2002, in a match against Chris Marvel.[16] He began a lengthy feud with Michael Shane during a tag team match for ROH contracts on July 27, 2002. During the bout, both Shane and London made simultaneous pinfalls on their opponent's partners. The referee only counted for Shane, giving his team the victory, which led to London and Shane brawling.[17] The two continued to feud over the next several months in matches such as Street Fights (where the crowd chanted "please don't die" due to London's high-risk offense), a Triple Threat match and a Gauntlet match.[18][19][20]

On December 7, 2002, London won a tournament to capture the ROH Number One Contender's Trophy, guaranteeing a match for the ROH Championship.[21] He lost the match three weeks later to then-champion Xavier.[22] On February 8, 2003, London competed in a Triple Threat match for the Number One Contender's Trophy, pinning A.J. Styles for the win.[23] After the match, Xavier informed London that he would compete for the title immediately.[23] London again lost to the champion.[23] London's final match in ROH was for the title against Samoa Joe on July 19, 2003, in which he lost.[5][24]

On May 4, 2013, London made his first appearance for ROH in a decade, facing Davey Richards in a losing effort at Border Wars 2013.[25] London suffered a stinger and concussion during the match and was as a result forced to pull out of the following day's tapings of Ring of Honor Wrestling.[26][27] London returned to ROH on August 3, losing to Michael Elgin in the first round of a tournament for the ROH World Championship.[28] London returned once again at Glory By Honor XII to defeat Roderick Strong. London would make four additional appearances for ROH in 2014; London competed on the Supershow of Honor events in the United Kingdom.[29]

World Wrestling Entertainment (2003-2008)

[edit]

Teaming and feuding with Billy Kidman (2003–2004)

[edit]

London signed with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in mid–2003, working a few dark matches before being sent to the company's developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling, on August 30.[6][unreliable source?] London made his official WWE television debut on the SmackDown! brand, losing to Brock Lesnar in a match for the WWE Championship on October 9.[5] After the match, Lesnar continued to attack London until fellow cruiserweight Spanky (Brian Kendrick) made the save.[30] The two competed as a tag team on SmackDown!'s sister show Velocity until Spanky left the company in January 2004.[6][31]

London in 2005 as the WWE Cruiserweight Champion

London then began a tag team with Billy Kidman on January 29, 2004.[32] On the July 8 episode of SmackDown!, the duo won the WWE Tag Team Championship from the Dudley Boyz.[33] They defended the title against the Dudleys and the Basham Brothers on several occasions before losing the championship to René Duprée and Kenzo Suzuki on September 9, due to Kidman leaving London to fight by himself.[34][35][36] Kidman's heel turn led to a feud between the two, which culminated at No Mercy where Kidman defeated London with a shooting star press. After the match, London was bleeding from the mouth and being stretchered when Kidman pulled him back into the ring with the stretcher and delivered another shooting star press to London's injured ribs.[37] This storyline was put in place after London had broken his nose wrestling Booker T and needed time off to recuperate.[38]

Return and Cruiserweight Champion (2004-2005)

[edit]

London returned on November 27, wrestling on Velocity until the end of the year.[39] On March 10, 2005, London became the number one contender for Chavo Guerrero's WWE Cruiserweight Championship, which he later won in a cruiserweight battle royal.[40][41] Guerrero challenged London for the title at Judgment Day, where London emerged victorious.[42] During another title match with Guerrero on June 23, The Mexicools stormed the ring, attacking both London and Guerrero.[43] On the July 14 episode of SmackDown!, London teamed with Scotty 2 Hotty and Funaki to face The Mexicools. The ending of the match saw Juventud perform the 450° splash on London for the win, but landed his knee onto London's face and legitimately broke his nose in the process.[44][45] London lost the Cruiserweight Championship on the August 6 episode of Velocity to Nunzio.[46] Later in the night, London cut a heel promo encouraging the fans to protest his title loss.[47] London went on a losing streak before returning as a face and teaming with the newly rehired Brian Kendrick.[48]

Teaming with Brian Kendrick (2005–2008)

[edit]
Main article: Paul London and Brian Kendrick

On the December 16 episode of Velocity, London and Kendrick remade their image, wearing theatrical masks to the ring and matching vests and shorts.[49] On the April 7, 2006, episode of SmackDown!, London and Kendrick defeated WWE Tag Team Champions MNM in a non-title match.[50] They developed a winning streak over the champions, including singles victories for both Kendrick and London over Johnny Nitro and Joey Mercury, respectively.[51][52][53] London and Kendrick won the WWE Tag Team Championship at Judgment Day, marking consecutive victories for London and Kendrick over MNM.[54] On August 11, K. C. James and Idol Stevens defeated the champions in a non-title match, igniting a feud between the two teams.[55] During the rivalry, WWE Diva Ashley Massaro began accompanying London and Kendrick to the ring to act as a valet and combat the actions of James and Stevens' manager Michelle McCool.[56][57]

They soon began a losing streak to the team of William Regal and Dave Taylor. Regal defeated both team members in singles matches and on the December 8 episode of SmackDown!, Kendrick and London lost a tag team match to the pair.[58][59][60] As a result, they were scheduled to defend the championship against Regal and Taylor at Armageddon; at the event, the match was changed to a four-way ladder match also involving MNM and The Hardys. London and Kendrick won the match and retained the championship.[61] On the January 12, 2007, episode of SmackDown! London and Kendrick successfully retained their championship against Regal and Taylor in a traditional tag team match.[62]

On February 2, London and Kendrick suffered a non-title loss to the rookie team Deuce 'n Domino.[63] A further tag team match loss and a singles loss for Kendrick to Deuce led to a championship match at No Way Out, in which London and Kendrick were victorious.[64][65][66] They retained the championship against MNM on SmackDown! on March 23, and then retained the championship against Deuce 'n Domino again on April 13, after Deuce 'n Domino were disqualified.[67][68] In a rematch the following week on the April 20 episode of SmackDown!, London and Kendrick lost the WWE Tag Team Championship to Deuce 'n Domino. During the match London missed a moonsault from the ring apron to the floor kayfabe injuring his ribs, leaving Kendrick to battle Deuce 'n Domino alone.[69] London and Kendrick's reign was the longest in the championship's history at 331 days until it was surpassed by The New Day in 2016.[70] Selling his storyline injured ribs, London was absent from physical action until the May 11 episode of SmackDown!, when he defeated Domino in singles competition.[71] London and Kendrick unsuccessfully competed for the titles on June 1 in a triple threat tag team match, which also involved Regal and Taylor, and lost a rematch on June 15 in a standard tag team match.[72][73]

Both London and Kendrick were drafted to the Raw brand on June 17, 2007, during the Supplemental Draft.[74] They won their debut match on Raw against The World's Greatest Tag Team on June 18.[75] Throughout July and August, they wrestled against The World's Greatest Tag Team and Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch on Raw, and on September 3, they won a number one contender's match for Cade and Murdoch's World Tag Team Championship.[76][77][78] At a house show in South Africa on September 5, London and Kendrick defeated Cade and Murdoch to win the World Tag Team Championship, only to lose it back in a rematch three days later.[79][80] At the end of 2007, he was inactive due to a foot injury.[81] London returned on the February 4, 2008, episode of Raw, when he and Kendrick lost to the team of Carlito and Santino Marella.[82] On the March 17 episode of Raw, London and Kendrick faced Umaga in a handicap match. During the match, Kendrick walked out and left London to get pinned; no dissension came of the incident, and London and Kendrick continued to team together.[83][84] They unsuccessfully challenged Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes for the World Tag Team Championship on May 26.[85]

The team came to an end when Kendrick was drafted back to the SmackDown brand as part of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft in June.[86] The following month, London was briefly involved in a storyline between Shawn Michaels, and Chris Jericho and Lance Cade, when Jericho and Cade used London as an example of what happened to those who idolized Michaels. London lost singles matches to both Jericho and Cade on Raw, before disappearing from television.[38][87][88] London was released from his WWE contract on November 7, 2008.[38][89]
