I remember them getting a good response on Smackdown and thats with no character build up at all! Its amazing really. Also just because Paul grinned once during a silly angle doesnt mean he should be punished for it forever! We don't even know if that's true about the grinning incident. As for London, I'd say it's because he's not as great as some people say. He can take great bumps, but he doesn't get that great of a reaction most of the time. If it was as bad as some think it is, he would get out of WWE.

They aren't abusing him. He's not very over and still collects a paycheck. Thats not abuse thats a gift.
London is a fantastic wrestler. Unfortunately for him in the WWE thats only a small piece of the puzzle. While London can flip around the ring all day he likely isn't very good at the bigger piece of the puzzle and thats being an entertainer.

He should have been moved to ECW, I was expecting him to be moved to ECW after I saw Spanky was moved to SD. With Kofi and Shelton away, London could be one side of a new low card feud. Keep him face and feud him with Burke, turn him heel and feud him with Super Crazy (or turn Super Crazy heel). Something like that.

He grinned before the limo explosion when it was meant to be serious business, he is not to be trusted. I still don't understand what was wrong there, can someone explain?

Okay guys this bothers me. Lets look at the facts. Paul London is one of the best wrestlers in the world today, he has tons of charisma and wrestles like nobody wrestled before. I love how someone says "Let's look at the facts" and then just starts giving opinions. There are no facts in there.

I whine a much as anyone about the repeated and baffling burial that Londrick has gotten, but I'm willing to wait and see what they do with London and Kendrick as singles. As a fan, I wish they could find something for London to do that doesn't involve him staring up at the lights, but what can you do?

They did win the Raw tag titles. London is a small guy though, and can bump like crazy. He's their perfect jobber. But its a waste of good talent to use someone special like London as a jobber. They should just use colen delaney. Colin Delaney is also in actuality a great wrestler. His indy work proves this. But yeah, Londrick should've been thsi era's Hardyz. The In Crowd are already set to be the new E&C. It should've been Londrick = Hardyz In Crowd = E&C WGTT = Dudleyz Then lower teams like: Moore Wang = Too Cool Deuce & Domino = APA / T&A (not in terms of character, but in terms of card position. APA and T&A were never top tag title contenders) Ah well...

London one of the best?
Yeah...
London can probably pull off some great high-flying moves, and that's pretty much it.
He's small, a good 30 pounds smaller than HBK. He's NOT charismatic in any way, shape or form His style doesn't fit WWE and would look horrible against bigger (ie. regular-sized) opponents.
I don't care how awesome he was on ROH and Flippy-Floppy Wrestling Federation. He's been in WWE for, what now, 6 years, and he has done not so much.
If ONE YEAR of Tag Team reign on SmackDown hasn't gotten him and Kendrick over enough not to fall off the radar seconds after the draft, I don't know what will help him. Sure, those belts aren't the most prestigious ever, and they didn't get a lot of airtime for promos, if at all.
But, a guy like Jeff Hardy, who, by his own admission, CAN'T CUT A DECENT PROMO in WWE style, managed to get himself megaover with the standard "welcome back" IC title run, with roughly no great material to work with.
The comparison with HBK is off on so many levels it's not even funny

To be fair, London and Kendrick did in fact in the World Tag Team Titles in Africa or someplace.
Anyway, Paul London is a mystery wrapped in an enigma for me when it comes to how WWE feels about him. I remember back in 2005, when he cut those epic promos after he kept losing on Velocity (man you guys, I can't believe we lost again).
I've always had the feeling that London does things to piss Vince and the WWE off on purpose because he wants to get fired. But, because he's so ridiculously talented, the WWE won't fire him. This is just my opinion though.
Small guys though never or rarely get pushed on Raw. In 2004, Tajiri was eventually made to be the small guy to put people over (though he did have some success). Then it was Super Crazy, and then Daivari, and now we have Jamie Noble and Paul London.
A good angle I would love to see though is if my theory on Paul London is correct, I would have Paul London randomly come up to Vince McMahon and try to get on his good side, while being as annoying towards him as possible. Like, if Vince is injured and in a wheel chair, Paul would be one to sit on his lap and Vince can't do anything about it.

The comparison with HBK is off on so many levels it's not even funny Yeah, he's only a flippy guy. I know you don't care about his ROH work but, seriously. If you'd ever seen that you would not say all he does is flips. Also, as his occassional WWE.com bits with Kendrick have shown, he is a witty and charismatic guy. Yo ucan't say a guy isn't charismatic if you've never heard him cut a promo or have any mic time. London's only ever had WWE.com articles to show his charisma, and to me he's shown he has it. Not as much as say, HBK, but he has some charisma.
