Another WWE Superstar SuspendedDate Added: March 11, 2007
Story By: Steve Carrier Source: PWInsider.com

As of right now the future of WWE superstar Rene Dupree is in question.

It's being said that Dupree has recently been suspended by WWE officials and this isn’t the first time. Right now WWE is seriously considering in releasing the star. With that being said, his tag team partner Sylvan is one again back on the SmackDown! Brand doing his Ambassador gimmick. La Resistance did work the 2/20 ECW taping, but their profiles were quickly removed from the ECW roster page.

Current WWE Tag Team To Break Major Record This Week
Paul London & Brian Kendrick are celebrating their 294th day as WWE Tag Team Champions today. They have now tied for fourth ALL TIME in WWE tag team history in longevity with the British Bulldogs( 4/7/86-1/26/87) and Chief Jay Strongbow & Billy White Wolf (12/7/76-9/27/77).

They will pass both those teams and become the 4th longest reigning tag team champions in World Wrestling Entertainment history as of tomorrow. Not bad for a couple of cruiserweights.

Of course, they're the longest reigning Smackdown tag champs in history, but they still have some catching up to do to three World Tag Team Champs: Demolition still has the record at 478 days, Jimmy & Johnny Valiant are second at 370 days, and Toru Tanaka & Mr. Fuji are third at 337 days. And after today, London & Kendrick are #4.

I hear that. They deserve a match at Mania. I think them and MNM should have a match together since it makes sense because both team ladies are competing in a match and the Tag Teams should get involve with Mania.

Its really sad that London and Kendricks, like Helms, are having these record setting runs as champions more because of WWE's negligence than by design or their hard work. They are two awesome workers that always go balls out for the fans and have carried some ridiculously not ready for prime-time teams to watchable matches, so its nice to see them have this kind of success and be able to mentioned alongside some pretty prestigious names. I just wish they'd get the respect they deserve and that should come with that position.

And seriously, give them a damn match at 'Mania. I think it was SeriousThreat that suggested that they build London and Kendrick vs MNM as an off-shoot of Trashley-Melina. The two teams already have history and MNM has advanced alot since they last faced London and Kendrick, and even then they tore the house down. They could make it more interesting if MNM dethrone Raw's don't need the belts Tag Team Champions and do some sort of Raw Tag team Championship vs Smackdown Tag team Championship gimmick.

Good for L & K. Like The_Dude said. This has only occured because of WWE's negligence. You'd most likely never see a World Champion or even a secondary belt champion beat the run of previous Champions (Possibly the exclusion of Benoit from the US title.)

I think London and Kendrick deserved this long title reign, but I would have liked to see them defend the titles more often against some better teams.

Its funny how 2 light heavy weights can carry the tag titles for so long. Considering the way the wwe has been booking nowadays (big guys over smaller guys) to see them holding the titles this long is surprising. Dupree to me was never really that good to me so he is not much of a loss. He really did not stick in ecw.

What? They aren't good enough for them except for the fact that they defend them. I don't get it.

Yeah, unfortuatly, this is one of those things that the average fan won't care about in, well, actually now.

If you don't mind me asking, if Paul and Brian are not Tag Team Title caliber, then who are?

John Cena and Batista?

no they are just explosive they arent big or the hardest hitters i think Deuce and Domino are bigger and i think in the next 1-3 months they will lose the titles.

To WWEMAN

I mean they have lost multiple times to deuce and domino and some other tag teams but when they defend them always pull it out of a hat somehow.

He was never fired.  He had an injury (a hernia I believe).

Wrestling isn't just about being big or hard hitters. I'd take London and Kendrick over basically anyone on the WWE roster if I had to pick who can put on the best match. And they're booked weak every SD!, then "come from behind" since they're the small speedy guys.

You really need to check out some of their matches in Ring of Honor. They're way faster.

PAUL LONDON & BRIAN KENDRICK    

Although they did not have a match this week, the WWE Tag Team Champions show no signs of slowing when they do compete.

If by nothing you mean they're the longest reigning Smackdown tag champs in history, and have an abundance of talent and speed compared to the Hardyz, then I agree.

Don't get me wrong though. I still like the Hardyz, just not as much as the Londricks.

The Hardy's had much more to work with.  Anyone who says that Stevens and James and Deuce and Domino can match up with E and C and the Dudleys as quality opponents is nuts.  If London and Kendrick got the kind of attention and quality opponents that the Hardy's had in their day, you'd see that you have completely underrated them.

Every tag team, face or heel, break up submissions and counts. You're logic is flawed, since the same can be said of the Hardyz. You do seem to be acted like you believe its real.

In an actual fight Khali and Big Show could beat up London and Kendricks, that doesn't mean they're good professional wrestlers does it? Yes, if I was an average WWE fan who hadn't seen London or Kendricks in ROH or any of their good WWE matches I would think "hey, these two chums win by the skin of their teeth every title defence" but as an 'informed' wrestling fan who has seen their ROH matches and knows how much talent are in those small (compared to most WWE superstars) figures I say that they have more talent combined than almost any other two WWE superstars you could name. Just because WWE books them in the only way it can entertain the crowd (or at least the only way they think they can entertain the crowd) doesn't represent what they are capable of.

You're naming stratagies to beat a tag team, and you're pretending the rules matter. Those should only be constituted to a sport in which outcomes are not predetermined.

Not to speak for Bulletproofcow, but I don't think he meant it as an accusation or attack :). There are still a lot of people who think it's real and it's not always easy to spot the ones that might, so on a topic like this, sometimes it is best to try and work out if one should make that distinction. Besides, we all believed it was real at some point, so it wouldn't make much of an attack anyhow ^.~

I don't agree with your stance on London and Kendrick, personally, but if their style of fighting fails to appeal to you, then that's your perogative for better or worse. Do you watch any other wrestling beyond the WWE, at all? I only ask, because your points against Londricks seems to be a very WWE-centric ideology - the WWE is a company where the "Big Man" is booked as king and the smaller wrestlers are booked exceedingly weak. The "take out their legs and they're screwed" ideology seems straight out of a WWE play-by-play call, which is another point that makes me ask. You sound like you're more into the power house style of wrestling, guys like 'Tista, Kane or Taker - if that's your flavour of wrestling, then I can see how Londricks style might put you off.

Personally, I adore the hell out of what I got chance to see of them. It was great to see both men elevated above the "teeney weeney small guy jobber" status, and I think they've really shined with what they're allowed to do. It's also worth noting that they're rather limited in what they're permitted to do in a WWE ring. Watch what those two could do in Ring of Honor, where said limitations aren't put upon the talent, and you'd probably be stunned at just what those two can do. I've always loved their style of wrestling, faster paced and all, so their matches tend to really appeal to me, in contrast to yourself.

yeah wrestling is a little iffy when it comes to rules, but that's why they have 5 counts for a lot of things, so guys can use chokes, or go on the turnbuckle, etc.

and breaking up counts and pinfalls isn't against the rules since IT IS a rule that you can.

the only times the rules get to me is when there's a ref bump and the ref keeps the match going after he gets back up. obviously he got hit, so that would be a no contest. my reasoning, he'll call for a dq if he gets hit by a wrestler and doesn't get knocked out. another time is when there's a multi-man match where there can be pinfalls anywhere, why won't they have more than one ref.
