#9. Paul London

<p>

Paul London had many problems with his WWE run. First, he didn't want to work in a tag team, but was paired with Brian Kendrick anyway. Despite the fact that they enjoyed a stellar reign as tag team champions, he never seemed happy.

He also was displeased that they took his shooting star press finishing move and gave it to newcomer Evan Bourne (Matt Sydal.) But the final straw came when Vince McMahon was walking to his 'death' on Raw. McMahon passed through a hallway lined with wrestlers, most of whom played their part for the storyline. Something dark and bad was about to happen so they had faces full of dread. However, London chose to smirk at McMahon as he went past.

The fans poorly received the 'death' angle and even cheered at McMahon's 'funeral' on RAW. Despite the fact that it was a bad idea, management blamed the angle's failure on London's smirk, saying he had ruined the entire storyline by breaking kayfabe.

Things are different now, but kayfabe was taken more seriously back then. London has said he will not ever work for WWE again, and we are inclined to agree.
