I'm hoping Paul London sticks to being a Shawn Michaels faithful. Some HBK & London vs. Jericho & Cade matches would probably get me aroused. I'd love for the WWE to take advantage of the tri-branded PPV thing, and have Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel unofficially join up with Jericho and Cade on PPV only.
Ever since I first read Rycklon Stevens was serving as Kendrick's bodyguard as a try-out, I was thinking how much I would love to see an angle where Kendrick took offense at Mick Foley making fun at him from commentary, and Kendrick provoked Foley back into the ring, and even kicked JR's head in a few times. I don't know why. |

Also, I envision The Hardys winning the WWE Tag Team Championship from John Morrison & The Miz very shortly, and I'm hoping that Kendrick & Ezekiel will be the two to take the belts from them.

The whole point of having the hardy's on different shows was for them not be known as a tag team so I highly doubt that.

Because that's happened in the past, right? With those rigidly enforced rosters, the idea of a cross-band championship reign or even tag team is completely improbable.

I'm not too familiar with Jimmy Jacobs, but something about Kendrick was making me think of him.

Also, Ezekiel has a fantastic look. If he is a big man that can work, I'd be more than happy with him getting a push down the line.

You can't deny also that both men are in fact named Brian.

I don't really see the resemblence to Pillman at all.
Of course, that could partly be because when I saw him I thought he was trying to be Kurt Cobain, the same way John Morrison = Jim Morrison. |

I'd be lying if I denied not somewhat fantasy booking Kendrick in my head to align with with John Morrison & The Miz, as some sort of rock star stable.

I see it. it's funny cause I've said in the past he reminded me of Pillman when he was doing that streaking gimmick.

He reminds me absolutely nothing of Jimmy Jacobs. Not yet anyway. The closest I think he'd ever come to resembling him is Jimmy during his IWA-MS title reign. I don't see that happening though (because I don't see them giving Kendrick a push where he can beat enough people cheaply to garner that much heat, nor will they give him a belt to hold onto like that.)

Are you kidding me... Jim Ross just made the exact same observation tonight on Smackdown. I SWEAR they read these boards. LOL
"You know how I was sayin' this guy reminded me of somebody, but I just couldn't put my finger on it?" "Did you put your finger on it yet?" "Yes I have, and you know, he reminds me of... Brian Pillman! The Loose Cannon!" Pretty much what was said during Kendrick's entrance. I guess the observation was an accurate one. |

Watching SmackDown! this week, it seems Kendrick's stock went up last week. He actually got mic time this week. The first time in years that has happened. Kendrick handled the mic well, too. He spoke clearly, concisely and with purpose. There was expression and pitch in his voice. He didn't sound out of place, at all. It seemed like Kendrick only got Rycklon Stevens in his corner in dark matches as a tryout for Stevens, but then they decided that Kendrick works well enough to warrant a bodyguard on-screen. They had him work a little match with Yang, but the storytelling was done on commentary. Now Kendrick is in on it, and his match against Shannon Moore was much more dominant. I'm liking the growth Kendrick seems to be making. He's a natural heel, in my opinion. Something I didn't actually expect of him. |

I wonder why WWE is suddenly taking notice of guys like kendrick/london? Like, they're suddenly making use of almost everyone. Reminds me of the attitude era days...but i wonder what woke them up? Probably the ratings were far too low for their liking. Would love to here Lance Storms thoughts on WWE atm, funny how he's gone quiet lately.

I hope Paul London doesn't get left behind in all this. The kid if a phenomenal worker, and the fans seem really into him. Let him bust out the London Calling, and he'll be over as rover. He could at least sell a few "Please Don't Die" t-shirts. CM Punk did it, Evan Bourne seems to be doing it, and hell, even Kendrick is doing it. Just stick him with Shawn Michaels against Chris Jericho and Lance Cade.

I really love the addition of Ezekiel as Kendrick's bodyguard. I like that he just stands there and uses his presence to intimidate opponents without getting physically involved. It's a unique way to give Kendrick a bodyguard without making him look weak.
I also love the fact that his finisher is now called "The Kendrick" |

I never heard of brian pillman so I cant compare Kendrick to him, but Kendrick does remind me of a younger Shawn Michaels. Big time tag team player getting a body guard and going single? Yup it has Shawn Michaels written all over it. I think Ezekill should be getting more involved though. He looks badass and I want to see him wrestle or pound someone.

He does remind me of Shawn Michaels, though, yes. Especially given that Kendrick trained under Michaels. Also, I disagree that Ezekiel should be doing more in his matches. I like the way that he is more of an idea than a reality at the moment. That's the way I wished they had used Daivari back when he was with Muhammad Hassan. It'll get Ezekiel over as more than just a thug. I wouldn't mind seeing Brian Kendrick & Ezekiel going over Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore on SmackDown! this week, though.

Jimmy Wang Yang vs. Brian Kendrick in a battle of returning cruiserweights. Yang is back from suspension, and Kendrick is making his re-debut after being supplementary drafted over. Ezekiel is the guy with Kendrick. Brian Kendrick vs. Shannon Moore from the following week. Edge and Bam Neely have a chat about Vickie Guerrero first. Kendrick also gets a chance to cut a promo before this match. |

I love the way Kendrick gets his swagger right back after he wrestles. And the returning of his jacket is really cool.
