Trivia / London and Kendrick

• Corpsing
  • London, and infamously so, during the shot of a broken Vince McMahon walking a hallway with the entire WWE roster on either side, before he left the arena & was seemingly Killed Off for Real 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 Call-Back a month later when Vince turns to London and Kendrick. London sports that same smile and Vince goes, "Keep that smile on your face."
• Creative Differences: ROH wanted Paul London back and Paul London wanted to go back to ROH. But ROH wanted London to tag with Kendrick, as they were marketing their shows with "the deepest tag team division in the world" while London felt he had a singles career in ROH to finish. So their 2010s relationship didn't last as long as anyone wanted it to.
• Romance on the Set: Paul dated Angel Williams and Ashley Massaro.
• Star-Making Role: Their championship win against MNM at Judgement Day 2006 or the Fatal Four-Way Ladder Match at Armageddon 2006.
• Throw It In!: The "The" in The Brian Kendrick only came about because the WWE RAW announcer Mike Adamle constantly kept calling him "The Brian Kendrick".
• What Could Have Been:
  • London and Kendrick weren't supposed to hold the titles for very long, but thanks to Joey Mercury getting caught with drug issues, they ended up with a ten-month reign under their belts.
  • When Roderick Strong was injured in 2014, he was replaced as Paul London's opponent by Cedric Alexander. London wasn't told of the change ahead of time and so declined, deciding to go to Revolution Championship Wrestling in Spain. London and Ring Of Honor (and Kendrick) would get back together when ROH was working with Preston City Wrestling in the UK and London happened to be on the PCW roster.
