History Wrestling / LondonAndKendrick

* BunnyEarsLawyer: JBL always kept saying the two came from Pluto, and they weren't exactly serious, orthodox wrestlers either, but that still didn't stop them from having the ''longest'' WWE Tag Team Championship reign ever.

** There were reportedly a few efforts, both by fans of the team alongside London and Kendrick themselves to get them an official name but none of them took with management. The closest we got was in WWE PB&J, [[ThemeNaming when Jillian Hall sided with them against MNM (Joey Mercury, Johnny Nitro, Melina)]] but this alliance did not last, putting them back to just London and Kendrick. European promotions tend to call them "Londrick".

* CantHoldHisLiquor: To celebrate a victory, the two went into the office of the Acolyte Protection Agency and started drinking their beer. Bradshaw and Wrestling/RonSimmons were at first, understandably upset until they realized the two were wasted in spite of not drinking much and decided to punish them by making them drink more. Brian collapsed to the side after finishing a can.

** On ''[[Wrestling/ProWrestlingZero1 ZERO-ONE Genesis II - Day 4]]'' Leodardo Spanky invited a woman out of the audience, walked her out to the ring and kissed her on forehead.

** This was lampshaded by [[Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield JBL]] for a while; he kept telling Cole that the kids weren't normal and that they came from Pluto.

** They soon had separate red and blue outfits, but red was the most significant as it was worn when they won the tag team championship and defended them. Blue was significantly seen when they had their six victories against MNM, as well as at Wrestling/WrestleMania 23 when they served as lumberjacks for the pre-show match.

--> [[Wrestling/MichaelCole Cole]]: What is the deal with the masks that London and Kendrick wear?
--> [[Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield JBL]]: Have you seen them without it? They aren't really good looking.
--> Cole: Yeah, like right now and every week.

* DesignatedGirlFight: {{Invoked| Trope}} by Wrestling/JillianHall, who joined up with them specifically to get at Melina. Also, stuck with them against the Teacher's Pets lead by Michelle [=McCool=], until Ashley took over as their valet and got in her own feud with Michelle. Not the case with Deuce And Domino, as their valet was a sweetheart named Cherry.

* DumbassHasAPoint: Spanky had accidentally spilled chocolate syrup on Vince [=McMahon=] and apologized but when Vince asked him who he was, after Spanky had been on the active roster for a year, he told him he should know he's Brian Kendrick because he pays his checks and proceeded to run down Vince's marriage problems and the failed XFL. Maybe it wasn't too bright to run down your boss after you got his suit dirty (it gets you {{squash| match}}ed by Brock Lesnar), but everything said was true.

* EnemyMine: Paul London ended up teaming with Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin against Zach Gowen, El Hijo de Rey Misterio and Marco Corleone in Mexican EAW after he and Kendrick traded wins with Haas and Benjamin in a series of six man tag team matches that also involved Jackie Haas and Reby Sky, where Marco was trying to court Jackie and Reby.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: They both trained together in Wrestling/ShawnMichaels' Wrestling Academy, fought as a team (they have only fought one on one four times), their entrance has them pointing to each other before back flipping before grabbing hands, and they like hugging each other a lot.

* PelvicThrust: London does a lot of these on Wrestling/LuchaUnderground, completely with sequins on the crotch of his white pants.

** To each other in Ring of Honor. As a team, Jack Evans, Wrestling/JohnMorrison and Wrestling/TheWorldsGreatestTagTeam, Pengelux (Kid Lux & Lloyd Pengel) in Pro Wrestling Holland.

** Paul London was a fan of the dropsault, arm wrench inside cradle and somersault plancha
** Paul was also a fan of the mushroom stomp, which Brian Kendrick would do with him when they teamed together. They also did assisted standing moonsaults, double dropkicks, double flapjacks, double hip tosses and double Japanese arm drags
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: The Brian Kendrick. This was due to Mike Adamle adding the "The" when he first entered the ring.

* YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulNess: Kendrick decides this is the case with [[Wrestling/DeanAmbrose Jon Moxley]] after seeing Paul London was also in Dragon Gate.

** They look and act similar to Bill and Ted from the ''Film/BillAndTed'' franchise, and even dressed up as them for one of the WWE Magazine interviews. Heck, they were even ''addressed'' as them in said article. [[note]]Brian was "Brian D. Kendrick, Esq." and Paul was "Paul 'Paul' London".[[/note]]

* SpellMyNameWithAThe: The Brian Kendrick.

Paul London and Brian Kendrick were a professional wrestling tag team best known for their time together in [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} World Wrestling Entertainment]]. The team never had an official team name, but were just referred to as "the tag team of Paul London and Spanky" then "the tag team of (Paul) London and (Brian) Kendrick." In 2006 London and Kendrick put the tag team name "The Hooliganz" on their wrestling attires and tried to convince the WWE management to start calling the team by that name, but were unsuccessful in their attempts. However, many fans and especially smarks called them 'The Hooliganz' as they intended.

They first began teaming together in 2003 as a part of WWE, but Kendrick left the company shortly thereafter. When he returned in mid-2005, he and London reunited as a tag team. In May 2006 the duo won the WWE Tag Team Championship from MNM; it was Kendrick's first title victory with the company, and London's third. Their reign was the longest since WWE created the title in 2002, and they became the fourth longest-reigning tag team champions in the company's history, finally dropping the titles to Deuce 'n Domino in April 2007.

** In Scotland the team ''is'' billed as the Hooligans, only [[SpellMyNameWithAnS with an s instead of a z.]]

* PowerStable: Spanky was part of CHAOS in New Japan and The Embassy in Ring Of Honor

** To each other in Ring Of Honor. As a team, Jack Evans, Wrestling/JohnMorrison and Wrestling/TheWorldsGreatestTagTeam, Pengelux (Kid Lux & Lloyd Pengel) in Pro Wrestling Holland.

However, many fans and especially smarks called them 'The Hooliganz' as they intended.

Later in 2007, London and Kendrick were drafted from Wrestling/WWESmackDown to the Raw brand, where they briefly held the World Tag Team Championship. They would continue to work together until Kendrick was drafted back to [=SmackDown=] in the 2008 supplemental draft, thus disbanding the team until 2010, when they reunited in Wrestling/ProWrestlingGuerilla following their releases from WWE. They have since reunited on several occasions and have won the Scottish Insane Championship Wrestling Tag Team Titles, where they ''were'' billed as the Hooligans, while Kendrick has come back to WWE as a participant in a Cruiserweight Classic tournament and a member of the Raw Cruiserweight division. In 2016, London debuted on Season 3 of Wrestling/LuchaUnderground as the face of the mysterious Rabbit Tribe.

* IncomingHam: During Kendrick's stint in [[Wrestling/WWE205Live 205 Live]]: "I'M A MAN WITH THE PLAN!"

* TheGadfly: While Dashawns2cents was interviewing Joey Ryan about up coming Wrestling/ProWrestlingGuerilla events Kendrick was prodding him with questions about TNA's well documented production troubles and London eventually joined in too.

** This is taken UpToEleven for Paul London as part of the Rabbit Tribe on Wrestling/LuchaUnderground. He once tried to take Kobra Moon hostage with a ''[[ImprobableWeaponUser carrot!]]''

* {{Corpsing}}
** London, and infamously so, during the shot of a broken Mr [=McMahon=] walking a hallway with the entire WWE roster on either side, before he left the arena & was seemingly KilledOffForReal in a limo explosion. It was so noticeable that when [=WWE.com=] compiled a list of suspects for the crime, they included London purely because he was the only one grinning as [=McMahon=] walked to his apparent death. London later stated that he was grinning simply because the only direction everyone was given was to look sombre & he thought the entire situation was amusing, but had no idea about the planned explosion.
** This gets a CallBack a month later when Vince turns to London and Kendrick. London sports that same smile and Vince goes, "Keep that smile on your face."

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: As of 2016; while Kendrick (now called [[SpellMyNameWithAThe The Brian Kendrick]]) returned to WWE as a grizzled, embittered and aging veteran, using every wily trick he can come up with to stay one step ahead of the young bloods he feels are out to supplant him, Paul London joined Wrestling/LuchaUnderground as the blissed-out, psychedelic, three-quarters-mad leader of the wacky Rabbit Tribe, who dresses like a combination of Vegas-era Music/ElvisPresley and Music/EltonJohn in a [[NiceHat top hat]], fighting against LizardFolk alongside two equally-bizarre compatriots.

Paul London and Brian Kendrick were a professional wrestling tag team best known for their time together in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

However, many fans and especially smarks called them 'The Hooliganz' as they intended.

* FingerlessGloves: Their ring gear had these type of gloves with question marks on them.

* BadassBeard: London spotted one for a while. Kendrick joined in on the fun in Pro Wrestling Holland and Belgian PWA, as well as his latest run in WWE, [[BeardofEvil as a]] {{heel}}.

* {{Unperson}}: Paul London was infamously fired for smiling at Vince McMahon while the latter was walking to his limousine which would blow up immediately after he got in. Since then, he's never been mentioned on TV, and it's unlikely he'll ever return to the company.

* FallacyOfDivision: Brian Kendrick does a few high flying spots but otherwise is a more grounded wrestler akin to [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson American Dragon]]. TNA pushed him to wrestle more high risk, thinking he would put on a show similar to Paul London without Paul London around.

* ManInWhite: Paul when he and Brian were in their black/white outfits. Paul London's Rabbit Tribe outfit in Wrestling/LuchaUnderground is also pure white.

* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: After Wrestling/JoeyRyan antagonized Wrestling/IvelisseVelez for months digitally then helped Wrestling/CandiceLeRae cheat her out of Family Wrestling Entertainments Women's Title belt and seemingly the promotion itself, London stepped in as they began to repeat the process with Veda Scott.

* CheapPop

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The formation of team came about after Paul London asked Mr. [=McMahon=] for a tryout match for the main roster and was put in the ring with Brock Lesnar, who decided to keep beating on London after the match was over. Spanky tried to save London from Wrestling/BrockLesnar and while his efforts were in vain, it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: JBL always kept saying the two came from Pluto, but that still didn't stop them from having the ''longest'' WWE Tag Team Championship reign ever.

** In Scotland the team ''is'' billed as the Hooligans, [[SpellMyNameWithAnS with an s instead of a z.]]

** They look and act similar to Bill and Ted from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures, and even dressed up as them for one of the WWE Magazine interviews. Heck, they were even ''addressed'' as them in said article. [[note]] Brian was "Brian D. Kendrick, Esq." and Paul was "Paul 'Paul' London".[[/note]]

* CombinationAttack: The two were known to work together very well, double teaming with kicks and tossing each other at their opponents. They also were known for their creativity in the combination attacks. These include:
** Sunset Flip from a Dropsault (Paul would dropsault the opponent as Brian would sunset flip them)
** Brian would do his Sliced Bread #2 and Paul would use Shooting Star Press with Brian as a platform)
** Brian would do his Sliced Bread with Paul underneath his opponent. The elevation added to create a powerbomb.
** Super Kicks In Stereo
** Their finishing move, "Get Well Soon". Paul would pass the opponent and enziguri the back of his head while Brian hit a reverse STO.

* DumbassHasAPoint: Spanky had accidentally spilled chocolate syrup on Vince [=McMahon=] and apologized but when Vince asked him who he was, after Spanky had been on the active roster for a year, he told him he should know he's Brian Kendrick because he pays his checks and proceeded to run down Vince's marriage problems and the failed XFL. So maybe it wasn't too bright to run down your boss after you got his suit dirty (it gets you {{squash| match}}ed by Brock Lesnar) but everything said was true.

** Paul London used a legsweep DDT in Ring Of Honor and a Chicken Wing Facebuster called waffle face. He also had a running shooting star press called London Calling. A 450 splash in WWE.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: They both trained together in Wrestling/ShawnMichaels' Wrestling Academy, fought as a team (They only fought one on one four times), their entrance has them pointing to each other before back flipping before grabbing hands, and they like hugging each other a lot.
* InformedAttribute: The Pure Wrestling Association announced London and Kendrick as having a combined weight of 3000 pounds. (it used ''pounds'', despite being a Canadian company)

** Brian Kendrick wore many masks during his Smackdown/Velocity jobber run, usually themed after a popular local sports team. Most infamously, he was that no name jobber who won a match as Diamondback against Sho Funaki. In case you thought that was the start of his push you'd be wrong, as he went right back to jobbing afterward.

* BreakupBreakout: Minimally in that Paul got a run as cruiserweight champion and a tag team title run with Wrestling/BillyKidman after their first breakup but that did not overshadow what both were able to accomplish once getting back together. After they split up in 2008, it initially looked as if Brian would be this, with a new gimmick & look as The Brian Kendrick & competed for the WWE title on PPV, whilst Paul languished on Raw. However, Brian wound up dropping back down the card & both were ultimately released, however, Brian managed to return to WWE in 2016.
