"American Dragon"
Bryan Danielson and "Intrepid Traveler"
Paul London make up the fifth team to enter Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's
DDT4. Not much more needs to be said, but we pay by the word for these write ups, so here goes.
The histories of Bryan Danielson and Paul London, while very similar, highlight two very different paths to greatness in the world of professional wrestling. Both men started their careers at the Texas Wrestling Academy (located in Birmingham, Alabama), and though their paths would not cross in training, after striking out into independent wrestling Danielson and London would find themselves as adversaries on numerous occasions. Both would experience great success earlier this decade, but that is where the similarities end.
Danielson redoubled his efforts into refining his abilities in the art of professional wrestling, traveling the world to learn from the masters of the craft, and apply those techniques to his own. London, a life-long fan of the serialized comic strip
Calvin & Hobbes, followed in the footsteps of interplanetary explorer extraordinaire
Spaceman Spiff and traveled to the far reaches of the galaxy on a five-year mission. Not much is know about London's travels in outer space, but it was clear that when he returned he was suffering from some form of "space madness," leaving only a precious few that could communicate with him.
Luckily, two individuals that can speak to London are part of the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla locker room: former rival "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson and World Champion
Chris Hero. Overjoyed with the prospect of communicating with humans once again, London formed an immediate bond with both men. At
One Hundred, that bond proved useful as London and Danielson helped Chris Hero avoid catastrophe at the hands of
Scott Lost and
Joey Ryan, The Dynasty.
Now that he has readjusted to Earth's atmosphere, London told the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla Board of Directors he would like to rekindle his tag team with his good friend "Brian" and is intent on winning
DDT4 to prove the allegations of "space madness" unfounded. When Bryan Danielson was asked if he was aware that London was confusing Danielson with
Brian Kendrick, based on the pronunciation of their first names, Danielson said he was willing to put up with "a little space madness" in order to win the tournament.
