Brian Kendrick and Paul London Reviews

Paul London & Brian Kendrick One of the last good tag teams that the WWE had when their tag division was beginning it’s downward spiral was these guys. It was after London had a decent tag team run with Billy Kidman, leading to a rivalry between the two before Kidman was fired and when the WWE finally decided to ditch the whole crap that was Kendrick’s “Spanky” nickname. The two held on to the tag team titles for a solid year before they lost the belts to a team that looked like something the movie “Grease” puked up in Deuce & Domino. Then there was the draft which split up London and Kendrick that lead to London eventually being shown the door and though he had a brief singles run as “THE Brian Kendrick,” Kendrick followed suit months after he started that gimmick.

Mighty Man Millson II (Real name, Adam Jones) is a 25 year old Middleweight wrestler from Manchester, England. He was trained by his father, 'The Great' Ian Millson (Real name, James Jones), and fought in many local independent promotions, before getting the nod over several superb athletes to work for the GHW E-Fed. He was trained further by Jaggeroth once he reached GHW, as Jaggeroth thought he could make a World Champion out of Millson.

Finishing Moves: Cattle Mutilation (Mighty Mutilation) Super Kick

Mighty Millson, as he was first named, first set his mind on becoming a GHW superstar when his father was rejected for a GHW contract, and in rejection turned to drugs, serving a prison sentence for possession with intent to deal. This set up Millson for a GHW contract after serving in the Indy's of wrestling. After stunning fans worldwide with his superb athleticism and charisma, GHW couldn't say no to him, and he took the name Mighty Man Millson II after his dad. Before debuting, management showed a vignette of Millson telling his dad he had reached GHW, and the proud reaction his dad gave him, to give Millson some fan favoritism. However, before his debut, Millson attacked a jobber in the on-site pool, and attacked Charlie Coors, the GHW interviewer, in frustration after his dad had heaped on the praise of his son. Millson told the fans in a website interview that he had let anger get the better of him and apologized to the two men he had attacked, which clawed back some fans onto his side.

The next week, another vignette showed, claiming that Millson's mom had also committed suicide when he was a young child, and he had been raised alone, which gave the fans more sympathy to heap onto MMM II. However, in a legitimate encounter, Millson threatened another wrestler, Wreckingball, which made the management suspend Millson, and prolong his debut by a further two weeks. His eventual debut was against a man in a similar situation to his, Henry Cooper. He had lost his wife and little daughter in a car crash, and had been to prison for driving under the influence. Millson came out to the ring and told Cooper that he had the utmost respect for him, but as both men were on their debut, Millson hadn't scouted Cooper thoroughly, and Millson was rolled up for the loss.

After his loss to Henry Cooper, Cooper was promoted to the main card of GHW, and Millson had to remain in the dark matches. On telling his father this, Ian Millson disowned MMM II, and drove The Mighty One over the edge. The next week, Millson faced Anthony Andrews and claimed that the only reason he had lost to Cooper was because of Cooper's background which had threw Millson off guard, and he guaranteed a win over Andrews to get his dad back on his side. But when Andrews refused to show up, due to injury, Millson lost his patience and dragged AA from backstage and into the ring, locking in the Mighty Mutilation before the bell rang to start the match. When Andrews recovered, and had Millson in trouble, a man jumped from the crowd and passed Millson some brass knuckles, which he used to win his first GHW match.

After the match, Millson confirmed his heel turn by lambasting the fans and ordering the mystery man attack Anthony Andrews some more, which he did. The man was revealed to be Big Robertson Ryder, a 309 pound goliath from Guyana, and this day marked the formation of the Big Mighty Ltd Tag Team. Millson then faced Matt Jacobs, with Robertson Ryder at ringside for the first time, but Jacobs was scared away by Ryder before the match, and so Millson won the match by Count-Out, but had stopped caring how he won, just as long as he did. Big Mighty Ltd became a feared partnership and constantly made backstage jobbers intimidated, but also winning on debut as a Tag Team against the newly formed Tag Team of AJ Scally and Eddie Hall. This series of 3 wins in a row, and the fact that he was one of the most athletic superstars on the roster, earned Mighty Man Millson II a GHW Television shot in a 4-Way Ladder match at their PPV Red, White and Bruised against Logan Scott, Young Gangsta and Jason Murphy. Millson called out all three the night this was announced which garnered more heat from fans.

I think we’re all aware by now that with the exception of places like Ring of Honor, the Indy leagues and maybe in Japan and NWA, tag team wrestling is not what it used to be. The WWE have reduced their tag team division to mediocrity and TNA seems to have a hard-on for splitting up the teams they have. If you don’t believe me, look at Team 3-D and the past when they split up LAX and America’s Most Wanted. I thought that I would list the top ten tag teams that I’ve watched the last ten years that stood out and prove that tag teams can still exist even with the form of it not being what it was. Unlike the last blog post I wrote where I talked about wrestlers that I’ve seen the last ten years, this one I’ve taken the time to list them in the order that I felt they made the most impact. I’ve also taken the time to list who I feel is on the rise as well as an honorable mention.

From Texas to Japan and from Ring of Honor to TNA to WWE, Brian "Spanky" Kendrick has indeed been all over the world in his six-year-plus career, and while he may not be a World Champion, he has indeed proven that sometimes it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

Brian adapted the nickname Spanky while being trained by Shawn Michaels at Michaels' wrestling school. As with most, if not all, of Michaels' graduates, Kendrick made his wrestling debut for the Texas Wrestling Alliance in 1999. Championship gold came quickly to the newcomer, as Kendrick defeated Rudy Boy Gonzales on November 9, 1999 to capture the TWA Television Championship, and on March 21, 2000, teamed with the American Dragon to win the TWA Tag Team titles.

In gaining his first championship, the MCW Light Heavyweight title, Kendrick had to go through his former tag partner, "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, defeating him on September 22, 2000 for the first of three reigns as champion. A second reign would come when Kendrick defeated Derrick King on January 6, 2001, for the title which had been held up, while a third began with a May 11th victory over Tyler Gates.

Brian KendrickDespite their battles over the Light Heavyweight Championship and in several tournaments (including the 2001 ECWA Super 8 and he APW King of the Indies, both of which saw Kendrick lose in the first round), Kendrick and the American Dragon mended fences well enough to enjoy a reign as Tag Team Champions.

No matter how many titles he won in MCW, Brian "Spanky" Kendrick couldn't convince WWE officials that he belonged on the Raw or Smackdown rosters, and he was released. Kendrick returned to the indy circuit, where he tangled with American Dragon again, on shows in Las Vegas and Alaska.

On February 23, 2002, Kendrick teamed with Ikaika Lao and defeated Michael Shane and Oz in a Shawn Michaels' Wrestling Academy Challenge match at Ring of Honor's Era of Honor Begins show. Because of the win, Kendrick won a ROH contract.
