Highlight from the GRP interview with Paul London: Not trusting WWE, low offer from TNA, frustration with ROH, more
The Gerweck Report podcast conducted a three part interview with former WWE superstar Paul London.
Highlights:
– Why he vanished from Ring of Honor.
London: “I was upset with the way Ring of Honor conducted business with me. I had agreed to wrestle Roderick (Strong), that is what I agreed to, we both wanted to do the rematch. I found out through Twitter that I was wrestling Cedric Alexander (in Pittsburg). Nothing against Cedric, but that wasn’t the match I agreed to. That wasn’t the match I was looking forward to. No one from Ring of Honor told me that Roderick was hurt.”
– Why he didn’t go to TNA after being released by WWE?
London: “I was taken back by the number they offered me. They were going to offer me a really low amount of money for what I put my body through. You are going to offer me peanuts, just the peanut shells, and its just a try out?”
– Return to WWE?
London: “I would be open to collaboration, but I don’t trust them guys as far as I could throw ’em. It would take a lot.”
– On why he doesn’t trust WWE?
London: “I don’t have any faith or confidence in them that they are real people or that they are real human beings with actual emotion.”
– The sloppiest wrestler London ever worked against?
London: “Ken Anderson, terrible. No regard from anybody’s well being, just very hard to work with physically. And he thinks he’s amazing.
I would rather wrestle a car door than that guy.”
