They marked out because not only were they high fliers and fast paced, but because they had a simple but effective gimmick. The black pants and arm bands and the whole extreme thing was just very straightforward. It also didn't hurt them that Jeff Hardy was doing a flip off a ladder and/or through a table every other match.

With London and Kendrick, they have the same assets of being a silent but high octane team. High flying and crazy, but they aren't used liek the hardys. First of all, they lack and E&C to get good fueds out of them and do the talking, and keep wrestling matches with them that stay fresh no matter how many versions or variations of the same goddamn thing we see.

Secondly, they need to be overhauled. The Hardys were the same team in 1998. They just were lame in the fans eyes. London and Kendrick need to get more of a personality whether it be through look or persona or whatever, and ditch the masks and vinyl clam diggers. It also wouldn't hurt them if they stuck them in ladder and cage matches with teams like the Hardys all the time.


edit: and yes, L&K won't become bigger than the Hardys. They have a chance at being successful in the same manner, but not nearly as much as them. Simply because if you're trying to push them as the next Hardys, thats all they can be. Whether they could be extremely succesfful (to the point of the Hardys) in some other niche as "the first LandK" remains to be seen, but I doubt it.
