Paul London recalls cutting a promo with Bryan Danielson.
When it comes to iconic promos from the independent scene, fans will often bring up a duel promo that Paul London and Bryan Danielson did for PWG in 2009.
While speaking with Jeremy Lambert and SP3 of Fightful Overbooked's In The Weeds podcast for a new interview, Paul London recalled the promo, saying that it came to them naturally and that they didn't overthink it.
"That was a shoot. In a promo, you’re trying to promote something. We were promoting an upcoming match, but the reason I think that is something that people talk about, and Bryan wrote about it in his book, apparently, I can’t read. With that promo, it was just sprung on us. ‘Can you do this? And go.’ We didn’t overthink it. I didn’t overthink it and the whole thing ended up becoming...here’s what I need ya’ll to talk about. Super Dragon said, ‘We need you to hype up this tournament and this match,’ that didn’t end up happening because I ended up hurting my back. It took a minute, we went into a bar area, we came out, and I just went off what my day had been like. All those things I talked about happened. I did go to the beach, I did get a slice of pizza, it did upset my stomach. I did see seals waiting and diving. I did see dolphins swimming together. All that happened during my day. That’s part of why that promo resonated and stayed in people’s heads because it was the most me of any promo I’ve done. I was able to understand that a bit more. I wasn’t thinking about it, I didn’t overthink it. I just riffed off of my day and tried to loop it back (to wrestling)."
