I swear Kane gotta be the most interesting individual in wwe, went from teacher to wrestler was an athletic force of nature , he won the WWF edition of The Weakest Link with the mask on along with his academic intelligence on full display, has an obsession with horror, played video games on the road, he's a mayor and now im finding he's a paint ball enthusiast? Idk where or how they found him but i thank the wwe for finding him.
lol. thank you for watching
So what deal with Undertaker saying real men didn't play games back then? When his Kayfabe brother was playing video games back then. Lol
its almost as if he's 3 dimensional like every human being ever to exist. Hes just man enough to express his 3 dimensions and not succumb to mediocrity for the sake of pleasing others
😂 man I agree
It’s so weird. Put all his wrestling stuff aside and as a person, he’s so damn likable but I disagree with his politics in just about every damn way.
Like dude… you’re a walking paradox for me, lmao
To top it off, I think he’s one of the few people in the business that most don’t have a bad thing to say about him, which is extremely rare.
London was so awesome. Guy had me watching Velocity as a teenager just for his matches.
Thank you for watching. Please tell your friends
@@wrestlingthenandnowAnd Family hahah
That says alot, almost forgot about Velocity, what were the other ones again? Heat, and some other ones
@@thisisnotatestthisistheendjakked and metal
He and Kendrick would have succeeded in today's wrestling business but still they achieved a lot
I’m glad someone finally said it! Batista is an actor. The Rock is a super star.
Thank you for watching and your comment.
Dave never put on a dress & male up like The Rock & Super Cena
Love listening to Paul’s shoots. He is the most honest shooter out there. Maybe too honest for his own good.
So you're just COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS to Jim Cornett??? 🙄🤦🏽♂️
@@wadewilson8011Jim is too nerdy to listen to
You gonna pop him?
“As far as I know he still lives there” he’s literally the mayor lmaoooo
😂☠️😂☠️😂☠️
He's definitely not up on his current affairs.
He's actually the Mayor of Knox County, not to be confused with Knoxville
He’s NOT the mayor of Knoxville
Wherever he is mayor, he makes the people look like munchkins.
I can just see Kane dominating a bunch of kids in paint ball and taking it super seriously 😂😂
Hahahahah. That's exactly what he did and no one can tell me different lol
When I saw the thumbnail and the caption “never meet your heroes” I just knew it was Jericho he was talking about.
Hey Derek!!!
Sorry, I don’t get the reference?
Jericho was complaining about hotel workers and service workers, and he was naming them on Twitter. "Hey Derek"
This is a GREAT interview! I like how Paul is so polite, even when he doesn't have good stuff to say about another. I like his response about Jericho - "Uh.. don't meet your heroes. Loved him as a kid. Uh.. He'll talk enough about himself I'm sure.. What am I going to add to it?" Haha
I believe Paul's words and reviews, of wrestler's, are honest and well stated.
Tim Ducan vs Kane in paintball is something I never knew I needed.
No way, Tim Duncan too!?! I have to see footage of that lol
I met London once at a show for Lucha Underground, coolest fucking guy, down to earth.
He is the best
I thought London was just going to bury a bunch of guys here but he was very fair in his assessments. I suspect the present day Triple H head of creative would have really liked a young Paul London because he does appreciate talent.
Jericho became what he bitched and whined about Hogan and the ol timers doing… politics and keeping the younger ones down
Jericho is pretentious nowadays
He's worse. He latches on to whoever is young and over to stay relevant. Kevin Owens becomes champ- Jericho buddies up to him. Kenny Omega, and the AEW execs. He'd weasel himself into anything if he could
I stole Paul’s DDT and used it as my finish for my whole 20 year indie career 😂 Always love his shoots.
I really like Paul London...but in terms of what he said, obviously never worked with him, but have met him numerous times and hung out with him at a concert once and he couldn't of been a nicer, more down to earth person. He seemed incredibly down to earth and silly. He had a conversation and sang with us for a good 45 minutes. He was a wicked sweetheart
What concert was it?
You started out with, "In terms of what he said." Then you went into this entire description of what you assume his personality is like. WTF? How about go into details about. "in terms of what he said."
What you said had absolutely NOTHING to do with "what he said." 🙄
@@wadewilson8011 Not only that but he didn't even name Jericho in his comment lol.
I love he doesn't politic. He gives a damn about being re employed by WWE or whatever. Good guy.
that has to be one of the most pathetic character judgements ive ever heard, ofc you have an anime avatar
@@irishww5110 says the "irish wwww guy" with no avatar at all
@@NantoShin go buy some funko pops fatty
“Never meet your heroes.” About Jericho is surprising but also not surprising.
I think Jericho broke London's heart 💔
I think jericho was a major polliticing guy
@@blacksabbath4252 sadly I think after his first run in WWE he lost his mind.
Cafe de Rene is the best wrestling podcast out there. London is one of the reasons why.
sounds like we ll be hearing more about Jericho soon...
Hes just egotistical and talks about himself non stop i hope its nothing to sinister
We never did, i was expecting all these women wrestlers to come out with Jericho stories but no one ever did
Love Paul London. Dude is genuine which is rare.
He is great!
Can definitely see Taker putting “hits” out on guys he had issues with.
Nope
@@shane-irish yeahuh
@@shane-irishtruth hurts huh lol
Undertaker was not a nice person backstage by the sounds of it.
He is not man enough to deal with it himself. At least, that's what it sounds like.
Kane and paintball is a funny combination
LOL it really is hahaha
I’m afraid to play Paintball with Kane because you already know that you’re gonna get lit up. Let’s hope Kane isn’t that dude that freezes his paintballs before playing.🤣
Funny hearing him say he never got to work w Undertaker. As a chilren in my SVR days I used to play Undertaker a lot (obv) and beat the absolute dogshit out of Paul. 6:34
London and Kendrick were super exciting and truly over wish they'd have been able to be apart of this generation with Triple H and NXT
Sadly they are no longer friends :(
Paul London was on of the coolest wrestlers I’ve seen. Had me hooked on velocity Saturdays just to see him hit his dropsault
Paul os the best. Great to watch and also great to talk to. Thank you for the comment
Seeing him with gray hair really sells to me how time flies
His assessments were spot on
London is spot on about Chris Jericho. The man has been exposing himself as the biggest mark in the business, super into favoritism and turns a blind eye to anything in regards to his "boys" and is a master politician backstage. Probably the reason why he and CM Punk dont get along, cause they both share the same mentality and two snakes never get along. The Bucks, Hangman Page and Kenny are also snakes and you see what happened at the All Out Scrum😂
There’s another side to this. Jericho May be self important but he’s donated $2,000-5,000 to multiple wrestlers medical bills who don’t have health insurance because of Vince. That alone makes Jericho redeemable
Besides which there are plenty of people who rate Jericho and give him the time of day.
And frankly, if he is a bit of an egotist... Well, when you're that good, you deserve to be.
@@JeremiahEcks777 No level of stardom or talent means you can treat others like shit. Some of y’all WWE fans are delusional and so far gone from reality 💀
"two snakes never get along" that hit
Hey gave money to Perry Saturn when he was down and out and when Umaga died..... he got the WWE ref to hand money to Umaga's wife. He never admitted this to anybody and jept it quiet. He is also 30 year friends with Lance Storm, Don Callis, Konan, Disco and Rey so he can't be a bad guy. Your problem is listening to the Mark's podcast rather than the "Boys" talk about Jericho!!! Fuqqin MARK....!!
Love his honest takes especially about legends. I always thought "how could WWE be so messed up backstage when Undertaker (revered) was the locker room leader throughout?". He would've had to be involved in letting stuff happen.
Undertaker enabled it all to hapoen.
Undertaker often did some of the shit himself, including throwing Rene Dupree’s French flag into a toilet. And nobody would step up to him because “respect” or whatever (didn’t want to lose their jobs).
Dude wasn’t as bad as Holly or JBL, but he was still up there with the other assholes that made the place miserable.
@CasualVideoGamer agreed. At any point of time, there'd be 100s of stories about a living juggernaut's respected generals that are kept under covers. Only if someone falls from grace, are they exposed. Example - hogan.
Kane playing paintball in full 1999 Kane attire 😂😂
I always assumed that HHH knew where to "inject himself."
Super underrated talent. Another victim of Vince’s insane booking.
I was kinda disappointed here, usually Paul never holds anything back in these kind of interviews, you can tell there was more he wanted to say about punk and Jericho...
his impression of triple H is money LOL
These are great stories. I was laughing about the room mixups.
6:11 This has been my theory for the longest time. Taker was considered the leader, not because people gravitated to him and he would rally the troops, but because he was there the longest after everyone else left.
You did it again great podcast
Thank you for your support!!! Please tell your friends
"Enjoying those rooms Paul" -Hunter
lol
That was a great impression of The Game haha
Kane and paintball reference immediatelly brought me to Friday the 13th scene where Jason used to hunt people... kinda funny, right?
Gosh, the fact that even back then, talent of the time like Paul saw Punk as a politicker says a lot
You're wrong, CM Punk was never a politicker, he was always super easy to get along with and always had everybody's back. Never made enemies. One of the greatest wrestlers to ever step into the squared circle.
If you don't believe me, just ask CM Punk. He'll tell you.
Punk is an easy Target. If he was a politicker then why he had problem with management?
This guy is still afraid to call out jericho triple h Undertaker john cena etc.
@@Rishu-br6tw you can tell he is lying when he thick lined the threshold for triple h, he might be appealing to the viewer base
Who gives a fuck just enjoy wrestling
Paul London couldn’t lace punks boots if punk helped him
Bro the first and only tag team I ever actually enjoyed was Paul London Billy Kidman
Great, quick, and very interesting interview!
Thank you for watching. I have tons of content please check it out bud
@@wrestlingthenandnow I just subscribed here and on TikTok. Good stuff!
Seems to me like Triple H didn't want to hurt London by telling him he wasn't on that level yet and tried to make up for t by kidding with him and upgrading his rooms. There is not a soul who could tell me that Triple H let them make the room mistake more than once....someone was watching out for London . London seems like a decent guy, but very insecure . Not that I blame him..the way the games are played there could screw anyone up.
Man , London is cool as shit . I've watched several other shoots he has done and some with Kendrick who I dig a lot too . And they are always entertaining . My first time ever hearing the " Please don't Die ! " chant was for London in early ROH !!! If anyone out there has heard that chant before his stuff , I would really be surprised and fascinated to know who ! Love ya Paul !!
Jeff Hardy got some "Please don't die" chants 2000-2001.
Remember... "You point a finger you got 3 pointing back at you" 😂
Love listening to Paul talk.🤘
Interesting shoot interview. I loved what he said about Punk which is so accurate. Shooting on Taker is taboo because he’s heavily protected. No one dare say anything heinous about him so I get why Paul chose his words very carefully when talking about taker. Taker has that mafia/mob boss aura about him in that if you are on his good side then all is well but get on his bad side and he will ensure one his hitmen will sniper you in your sleep…. Which makes him even more terrifying.
Still my Cruiserweight Crush ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the comment and for watching
I met brian kendrick in 2009, down to earth guy. Wish london would come to Australia.
Paul London being real is the only reason he didn't move higher in the business.
Thank you for watching and the comment
and the fact he has the same body type as most high school sophomores
@@FHRiley-yk9by Another fact is your sentence structure equals that of a freshman in grade school.
@@MarcWilliams-gj9dv spoken like a true "Marc".
@@FHRiley-yk9bynice username. Frunkus!!!
Velocity was my favourite show in the years after the Attitude era. Paul London was one of the best wrestlers on it. I know it was the Smackdown B show, but its where the best matches and some of the most interesting talents in the business were.
One of my favorite things about that era is that they (particularly on the Smackdown brand) really brought wrestling back after the Attitude Era, where I think the wrestling was minimized.
I would have to whip out a paintball Bazooka or some shit for Kane ! I bet money he has a camo Kane mask specifically for paintball ! How intimidating would that be lol !!! Kommando Kane unleashed with hi-tech paintball weapons ! It would almost be like running into Jason Vorhees in the woods .
Yes lol
London vs Shane in ROH was so awesome.
I worked on a wrestling show with Paul London in Ringgold GA. Super cool dude. I hope to run into him one more time.
One thing I wont do but others will which is fine, is judge a wrestler because another wrestler gave his opinion on them. Its his opinion and his story. No one knows the truth but the people who have met these people. Just a thought
London calls Punk a self inflated politicker, when Punk has said that for years about others.
If the problem is always someone else, maybe you should take a look at the mirror.
Could be both, wrestling sounds like such a fucking toxic and politic-ey environment
@@lightfm90Yep. The Young Bucks need to take a long look at themselves.
@@kingstarscream320 They are also a problem, AEW was a shitstorm because of the clash of toxic egos
Doesn't Punk himself admit to doing that
Paul London is great. I use to wear a ref shirt to airports, shows, hotels. after seeing me enough he invited me to get food after a show really great down to earth guy
When I first saw him in ROH . I said he’s going to make it big time
I grew up watching this dude in the mid 2000’s always thought he was dope because of he’s style of wrestling. One of the best Cruiserweight’s of his era. He was the reason smackdown’s tag team was revolt !
Sounds like a normal day at work intimidating by bullying each other.
Any information about the people the Undertaker bullied (if that's the right word for it)? You don't tend to hear too much about anything like that about him
I met my hero STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN and he was great. A very friendly guy. Just a normal guy that did great things.
6:14 Eddie Guerrero being the real good man in locker room 😃
6:32 taker would just kill off cruserweights for return
6:48 trips h
7:06 only good words (censor burial)
7:34 hunter usual snakey
7:59 company politics be like that
8:10 same initials
8:26 bungalow pronouncing 😂
9:00 hunter mad it to show off
9:03 trips showing off 😂
9:09 trips doing chad facial expression then
9:36 self aware mc in movies be like:hmm that's weird
9:59 trips tripping people's ladder up
10:15 chyna 😢
10:26 don't always meet the people you look into
10:42 such silence in mid says much than many
Man,wish all best for him (i dreamed to become well in life,befriend him & Susumu Yokosuka,trio if best friends,business,being a best man for their marriage & so more huh)
All good words about People
Batista an extra good guy with him while raised (but another video where batista/booker incident,Rene said Leviathan not good with him,Big Dave get humble then,while rene liked Mr.Kennedy,just accept his gimmick 😅)
Great videos
I hope london just doesn't live on his car,having a home
Don't know how to connect with such people as casual friends who we text call often 😊
Humble is for heart..
While learn tactics to avoid traps,being played is for career,brain,longevity .. learn well,be wise
Live well with loved ones always
To the Paul London:Hero of the Prophecy 😊🎉 (i followed it on fb for years too) @Nilavazhagan Ramakrishnan, @azhagurjaallinall in insta for london ir twitter (which i rarely use)
Wish all be well 😃🌟✨🙌

London solidified his respect in my mind soon as he spoke about cm punk. Everything hes said makes sense about everyone
😊 😮. 😊😊😊
I had to listen twice to make sure i wasn't dreaming or hearing things. Paul London is not roasting everybody. Why can't Paul be like this all of the time.
Paul saying he wishes he would have worked with the undertaker and triple h what would have the stories been behind that?
I think it’s funny it’s never meet your heroes but I meant Paul and did a seminar with him and he was down to earth understanding and encouraging so yeah. Love you Paul!
Paul is awesome.
Seeing what he said about HHH & Jericho explains why 1 min they friends next min there is heat & then it’s we not friends but respect each other although I’m big on both(more of a HHH guy) I can see they both on the same coin but 1 is the head & the other just doesn’t want to be tails 😂💯
I am watching this while suffering from nausea
I saw Jericho's band Fozzy live in concert, he couldn't of been a nicer guy. I'm not discounting London's experience with him, just saying.
You and Jericho sound tight.
Couldn’t have*
Wow your experience with the man for a couple of minutes seems really authentic
He's a showman. His career depends on being good to the people who buy his tickets and merch.
Did anybody else pucture kane in full wrestling gear shooting someone with a paintball, giggling, and, then running away like a child
Oh my word we need Paintball Kane !
hahahaha
I know your biggest comment are "man i always watched you on velocity!" Id say the same homie, but mannnnn id always say to my buddies. Remember london? He needed a bigger push then what was given. Always had big big respect for ya
I love how people say, Triple H is where he’s at because of Stephanie. Meanwhile everybody in that locker room had the same chance to get with her lol 😅😅 they just mad that he beat them to it
Haha thats awesome. Thanks for the comment bud
Exactly
Paul seems like a decent guy, but I gotta admit some of this comes off as sour grapes.
that’s a crazy and dumb analogy
u never know what he did to get her
Still had my favorite indy match ever. First "please don't die"
Eddie Guerrero would have been the favorite teacher, Undertaker was the principal, and Vince was the Superintendent.
I'm not a huge fan of either but the rock gets a lot of heat but you have not seen the rock movies if that's your claim. I feel both have grown into greater performers but cut down the middle both have made movies playing themselves and it sells it sells 😊
I really enjoyed batista in knock at the cabin
Johnathan London was my professor in film school
I've met a lot of names but Ric Flair drunk in a bar was the worst. Sexually aggressive to the young female bartender and just rude. Jimmy Hart is the nicest and most genuine. Meet a lot but that's the polar opposites I can think of.
Ric really believes he is still The Naitch and doesn’t realize he’s a 75 year old man and young woman don’t watch wrestling and thus don’t want to hook up with a self important perverted grandpa. I have no doubt he slayed into the late 90s but he was already an old man by the time he joined Evolution in 2003 so to see him still acting this way now is pretty sas
Ric comes across pretty badly on his podcast, from what I've seen. Always belligerent and appears to be drunk.
London is super cool. Instead of saying something negative, he'll sidestep
He has to remember why he can have a job , Jericho, Eddie , Chris , Shane all got told they wouldn't, couldn't make never drew a dime but made it to the top so he had to sell himself and Batisa plays big guys like the rock same thing but many female wrestlers say bad thing so sometimes in people we like we don't see the bad because they don't do it to them , they all have good n bad sides part of being a human
*Heroes
4:17 anyone surprised?
thankfully someone pointing out CM Punk, Jericho were asswipes and that Undertaker was the locker-room snitch
I mean some guys don't want to be pricks doesn't make them dishonest, if i'm a main eventer and you're a cruiserweight on Velocity and you ask me "when are we gonna have a match?" i have two options, i either lie to not be a prick and destroy your ego or i tell you to your face you're just a cruiserweight on velocity and i don't want to get booked with you because you're not on my league.
Paul....Maybe Triple H didn't want to hurt your feeling. Just saying.
The titles of the sections when you fast forward are funny. There’s no undertaker section so if you jumped into the video like 70 percent through the cm punk section, you’re gonna think Paul has a lot of respect for him. “Don’t wanna cross the dog!” :p
Thats all TH-cam pal 😃
@@wrestlingthenandnow discovered on accident trying to rewind the triple h bit. Cracked me up.
Who is this guy taking?
Idk but In my opinion why would say something but then make it seem like undertaker was a bad guy or something but you respect him?. When multiple people for years have said what a down to earth guy he is I’m confused
The Rock doesn't hold a candle to Batista's acting chops! Paul London, you are absolutely correct! Also, not many guys today would dare to say that of CM Punk whereas its just a fact, amd I'm with you on that one as well! But, even Punk is a better actor than the Rock! In fact, I quite liked Girl on the Third Floor, and even his itty bitty role in Jakob's Wife! That guy can emote well!
no one has any bad things to say about big dave
a few takeaways I've gotten from these ex wrestler interviews:
- kane is a genuine great guy. so is batista
- cm punk is a bit of a prick
- undertaker was respected
- John Cena works really hard
- Michaels has rubbed people off so wrong that people who've met him don't think his good guy run is honest
Cool
If pro wrestlers are Your Heroes you really got to do some growing up. Like turning 7 years old
sounds like everyone was for themselves. that sparked the best talent of all time. now everyone wants to get along with every single person, and the talent are few and far between. i wonder if that has anything to do with anything
That and the way everything's become so ultra politically-correct, the shareholders and management don't want spontaneity.
It’s legitimately the most talented roster probably in the entire history of the business lmfao
@@seanfrancisep these mfs can’t cut promos like they used to. Thats what I mean. They can wrestle and are the best athletes of all time but they don’t care to talk people into arenas like they used to
@@JR-he6fn Everybody is doing their best. Not everybody is going to be The Rock. Maybe if you wipe your shitty "impress me" attitude and just enjoy watching artists strive to improve their craft you'll probably find yourself enjoying them a lot more
@@KalvinStrange I hate it even more tbh. Do you watch AEW? It’s crazy you say what you say and that’s the aew product you describe. “Just enjoy what you watch” mentality
Paul comes off as super bitter all the time like someone that has to find the negative in everything lol
People like you that comment this type of thing tend to just not like who is being talked about negatively. He didn't just complain about everyone, he gave his opinion and sometimes that will be negative.
@@jackhughes7637 He's not allowed an opinion?
@@brettpritchard265 Did I stop him? Or are you trying to make me feel bad for having an opinion?
Batista seems just like the greatest guy in the world doesn’t he
not really 😭 he had major beef with Mickie James of all people
@@RihannaIncorporated really 🤣🤣🤣
Stevie is by far the biggest jerks in wrestling I ever met. He was friends with my best friend before his RTC run and working/living here in Alabama doing local shows. We were just high school kids working ring crew but I swear it was like “don’t look at me don’t talk to me don’t think about asking any stupid questions blah blah” Maybe he changed and I’m sure he was much nicer to wrestlers than 17 year old boys but he constantly whined about other wrestlers hurting him (Taz) or stealing his stuff (D-Lo stole his Tag watch) blah blah. Everybody was out to get him.
The Jericho opinion is certainly something.
Sad really
