I do see that Brian Kendrick is allowed to gain momentum and get a few hits in before losing, but i'm still getting tired of seeing him fed to random heels and incestuous couples lately. London and Kendrick are on par with the Motor City Machineguns and it seems like a total waste of all that skill. They're barely used when they're both 100% and then when one is injured the other becomes an active jobber. Le sigh.

Thoughts?

^^^ Too small for Vince. Vince likes big... .... so guys like him that aren't that over and small is always going to be fed to the big guys. Cruisers have no future in WWE. They would have been better off elsewhere (other than Mysterio and J.Hardy)

Smaller guys are almost always used as jobbers, its a big mans business.

I think they should split them up and put london on ecw and kendrick on smackdown and bring back the lightweight divison. Rey is over so is jeff hardy if l & k can get more over i dont see why they can have singles pushes in future. You got to think of easy faces on raw who esle would burchill destroy on raw whos a face london? Cody rhodes? in a tag team being semi pushed and dh smith aint on raw again yet. So in order to put people over everyone has to go through it. Big daddy v viscera got killed by umaga then he came back as big daddy v so people can be repackaged anyways.

I completely agree with you. When he was on SD! I saw a lot of talent in him, more than London (although London was still talented) but when they moved to Raw they have pretty much become a laughing stock and their only success was holding the Tag titles for what, 3 days. I wouldn't actually mind if L&K split with Kendick getting a CW title push on SD! (if the title ever returns) or even if noth of them joined TNA but that's prolly a long shot. Kendrick is pretty much a jobber in singles competition but so is London, Kendrick just does more jobs, but as a tag team t5hey seem to be more competitive in WWE's eyes imo.

If they split them up then one of them is getting released soon. The best thing they can do is move them to ECW or have more tag matches.

Id have london on ecw and push him a bit like they did punk and shelton cause hes got the ability or more than those two. Kendrick is a good athlete its just wwe probably see him as a guy who puts people over. Val venis cant last forever lol.

First off neither of them should've been moved to Raw. Secondly both of them must realize that they are never going anywhere in the WWE, I'm sure they're just collecting paycheques at this point. That's pretty much the reason I don't see them leaving the WWE at this point though they would likely be better pushed elsewhere.

London has more talent than any wwe star. Watch his roh matches i mean wow i know wwe is different than roh but come on we all know london has something. Kendrick is the same but he smaller i think vince should let booking to writers and nothing.

London was great because he faced peopl he's own size (tween 200 - 220 lbs). London and Kendrick may be the new Val Venis and Funaki, they just wrestle and get squashed for a paycheck.

I think they need to lose their Aladon ring attire. I think they have amazing in ring ability, but they're gimmick and dress is really Blue. Plus I don't like the fact that their booked like identically. Like I have no idea which is which unless they wrestle as singles. I think if they got a different gimmick, I dunno what it would be, I'd like them a lot more and they'd probably do better. I also agree with everyone that said they shouldn't be on Raw. I mean the tag division is horrible everywhere, but there just isn't anytime for Raw.

Yeah they can be on Raw if they are gonna use them, but since they arent Id move them back to SD. Neither of them are ever going to get over in a big fed because neither have the star power or the charisma to survive on their own. Both have been given opportunities at singles careers and they blew goats.

Considering London is injured why not use Brian to job? It's not like it will hurt his reputation and he's got credintials that are better then any other jobber.

If Cade or Murdoch (who has the same creds as Brian) were jobbing it would look bad for them since there bigger guys. But for a guy who's like what 140 pounds to job it doesn't look bad at all.

And considering how amazingly brutal Brian sold all of Paul Burchills moves he's quite frankly quite good at making someone else look good.

When Paul comes back they'll be a tag team again giving Cody Rhodes and Hardcore a run for their money. And Unless the crowd is willing to push them on their own (whitch is the only way for smaller guys to get pushed) then they live their career as the elite-teir jobbers which is as much as you can ask for when you're in a big guys buisness
