>>19739552Paul London is one of those guys who gets far more credit than his body of work actually earns. Yes, he was athletic and could hit a shooting star press. But the second you look past the flips, there's not much left. His character work was nonexistent, his promo ability hovered somewhere between awkward and unwatchable, and he never figured out how to make his matches mean anything beyond spots. He had a solid run in the tag division with Brian Kendrick, and their long WWE Tag Team Title reign is often praised for its length. But let's be honest, it was long because Vince didn't give the division a second look at that time. Their matches weren't classics. They were just fast-paced filler. When London went solo, WWE gave him a few chances, and he blew every one of them. Zero mic presence, no connection with the crowd, and a vibe that screamed indie guy who never learned how to work on TV. Even behind the scenes, London built a reputation for being a little too smug for someone who hadn't actually done much. He's spent years trashing others without having much to show for himself beyond "guy who does flippy stuff." His recent tirade against HHH only makes himself look bad. Paul London had the tools to be something special, but he never put the rest together. He was style without storytelling and movement without meaning. An athletic guy who flew high but never landed as a complete performer. His legacy is mostly highlight reel fluff and wasted potential.
