From the way Paul London was talking about it, it sounded like they were just about to debut, or had just started so this would probably be sometime in 2003. Because Brian had that Spanky gimmick, was feuding with John Cena.
Honestly, I’m very happy to hear these Chris Benoit stories. Because it shows that there was a human being inside of that monster that killed his family and himself. And also shows why there are so many people that have had broken hearts and struggle to find a balance between the memories and his actions.
I remember first hearing this story from London and Kendrick’s old shoot interview, which can still be found here on RU-vid, and it’s still just as funny today.
chris benoit didnt want brian to get the delicious meal because chris will need to have some of it too then jamie noble probably will want some too and brian will have to eat just half of his order so that is why benoit stopped brian from getting his food taken without explaining to much like what im trying to do here
Damn, Paul London is a funny dude! WWE were idiots not to let him talk more because he was always fantastic in the ring for matches. If they had let him do more promos, he could've been a top guy there. But like everyone else they squandered (you too Rene), he got McMahon-ed. Which should be a verb term in the encyclopedia that means got misused and wasted on potential.
Both fans and management go by their preconceived notions of what a wrestler might be good at, as opposed to what they see. For instance a lot of people assumed Daniel Bryan would be a bad promo when he joined WWE, simply because he's a short indy guy. Yet he's insanely charismatic and was good on the mic from the outset.
@@raveoreynolds6049 unfortunately, most go by the McMahon saying "perception is reality". But that's not true. Many talents are much better than they're portrayed as but because of their booking and presentation, people assume that they aren't very good. We'd be here all day in the comments section if we listed every single name WWE screwed up on that had potential to be big stars. But yeah, Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) is a great example. Had CM Punk not walked out in 2014 from WWE, Bryan might not have ever become the big star he now is. Much like Paul London, Danielson came from the indies and WWE assumed they had no charisma or mic skills but that they could only offer wrestling. And in both cases, WWE was dead wrong and they've missed the opportunity to make many people big stars and now rely on the same handful of talents still around but have no new real stars.
seems like london is more humble here then he was in the past. hopefully one day him and brian kendrick, when he decides to put his demons in the past, can repair the friendship they had cuz TBT they were a solid tag team & breaking them up when they did was a huge mistake.
its so great to hear stories from wrestlers, always very interesting! especially when told by London! another one completely unexpectedly is Kevin Nash! knows some shit!
Benoit was the man at one time. I'm sorry for his brain damage. He had intensity like no other. I love hearing about this stuff, reminds me of Steiner at cracker barrel where he asked for 3 times the chicken
Charlie looks great!! Everyone a couple years back was ragging on him because he did an interview after a match in bad lighting and conclusions were immediately jumped to... idiots.
Exactly, they claimed he was hooked on all sorts. Charlie's looking great and got a few things going on, he's helping his kids with amateur wrestling as well and is a coach.
