10 Hysterical Times Wrestlers FORCED Each Other To Break Character

10. Paul London Kills Bryan Danielson

Peak Pro Wrestling Guerrilla was an irreverent joy of a promotion which, in the words of co-founder Scott Lost, wanted to be Ring of Honor - “without the stick in its ass”. 

Paul London, who cared little even in the eggshell-strewn WWE environment, needed no encouragement to be his mischievous self in Reseda, California. 

London had drafted in Danielson as his partner ahead of a match against Lost and some loser or other, and implored the fans to get behind them. 

London made his promo up as he went along and cut it for the express purpose of making Danielson laugh. He said, wistfully, that he had spent his day at the beach “contemplating this or that”. He was moved to form a team when he spotted some dolphins swimming in a pod. He had also spotted some “seals, flyin’ around, flyin’...” at which point Danielson, deceased at the spectacular comic imagery, exploded into giggles. 

Brilliantly, the new dolphin team turned into bees deeper into the promo as Danielson and London urged the fans to join “The Swarm” and make buzzing noises to express their support. 

This seemed like the daftest idea of all-time, until you recall that there was in fact a team called the Killer Bees in the WWF’s ‘Golden Era’. 

No dolphin tandems, sadly, but since they’re very intelligent, you could put two shoot cetaceans in a ring, and they’d work out how to get over more than Chris Jericho in 2024.
