 An Introduction by the AuthorHello, it’s me Red Dragon. Not in any character or as part of the diary, just plain old me. I just felt this diary needed a little introduction to explain what's going on here. So basically back when I was a newbie on these boards I posted a first person diary from the point of view of Paul London. Starting in June 2008 where he was still employed by the WWE. However in my story London let his contract expire and moved to TNA. However after a few months of work I was bored with it and took it in a new direction having London joining ROH. However, that didn't last long. You might have read in the chat thread that I've been thinking of a side diary to SNW for a while. And this isn't actually it, I had a different diary planned but I changed my mind (like I usually do when starting a new diary) I watched the Paul London/Brian Kendrick Highspots shoot which got me in the mood to write some Paul London. A while back when thinking about future diaries I thought about continuing my Paul London diary, I even made graphics but it didn't work out. So instead we got this, what I like to think of is a remake of Paul London: Please Don't Die- The Diary. Starting at the exact same time I started the original story. It’s a little different than the original in a few ways. The layout, length of write ups, storyline direction and write ups will be all different. It is from London's point of view and only concern him. Unlike my old diary where London gave his views on the rest of the night I am dumping this part. Although I see it was something different to do, I realise that might have been the reason I stopped in the first place. So I think that’s all to say for now, thanks for checking this out and have a nice read. |

 IntroductionAnother day once again with the “Entertainers” I wonder what wonders are in store for me. Oh wait, how rude of me let me introduce myself. My name is Paul London a pro wrestler...wait “Entertainer.” The year is 2008, it’s the 14th of July and the date of a Raw taping. Less than a month ago my tag partner Brian Kendrick got booted to Smackdown breaking up our teaming. What management has in store for both of us is unknown but I have a pretty good idea that the answer is nothing. Things have just been getting worse here man, I just don’t have any desire to do this. This is my dream, this is all I ever wanted to do in my life but yet I just feel I’m being kept down by the powers that be. Don’t get me wrong I’ve thought about leaving. Hell, I even started talking to guys in other promotions. My contract is coming up so now is the time to make a decision. Do I stay or do I go? |

Never read the original, (probably will now that you provided a link.) but I'm liking this.

So glad to see this back, but with a twist. I'm pretty sure you'll be leaving WWE so I hope to see Paul London hit ROH instead of TNA first this time around. Also some PWG, because his team with El Generico is awesome.

Nice first entry. I can see him leaving. Should be interesting if it does leave to see were he will go from there.

This was always a fun read and I'm glad to see it's back. I like how you keep it realistic instead of Paul London megapush and I look forward to seeing where you head.

WWE Raw- Part 1I turn up to work a little late but surprisingly don’t get any of the higher ups shouting about my tardiness. Usually I’ll have some agent tell me that I should be here hours before the show starts only to find out that I’m not on the card. I don’t know if you’ve been through this experience but to turn up to work only to be told they didn’t want you, really knocks your confidence. Anyway since Kendrick moved to Smackdown I’ve been travelling alone, I thought about hooking up with someone but might not be here long. I get to the arena with my bag flung over my shoulder and head to the main locker room. I get there without a single agent questioning my lateness, what’s going on here? I get into the locker room and Ricky Steamboat is talking to some of the guys. Ricky works as a Road Agent for WWE now, after having a great in ring career. He is usually the Road Agent assigned to work with me. As soon as he spots me he comes over. Ricky: You seen the match sheet yet? Paul: Nah, why am I am I on it? Ricky: Yeah, Dean wants to see you I head for the door, perplexed about my match and know I have to find Dean Malenko. I assume Dean’s being the Road Agent for my match tonight. Next to Ricky I couldn’t ask for anyone better than Dean to work with. As I am about to exit, Ricky calls me back. Ricky: Oh and Paul, Turn up earlier next time. |

Nice entry, liking the attitude he has as it would seem like he would just turn up like that at that point of his WWE career. Good to see him excited to have a match, I expect it to be a somewhat squash match but hopefully its something better.
Can't wait for the next entry.

I hope he stays, but a good entry. Not too much to comment on, really excited for this, though. Dean Malenko, a great cruiserweight meeting with another could mean some good stuff. Keep it up.

Very cool entry here. Written very well. The ending was a nice touch there; a bit of a cliffhanger as I want to know his match. So far so great!

WWE Raw- Part 2I make my way through the corridor, I see the match sheet and scan it for my name. I look straight at the dark match as that’s my usual spot on the card (if I can even make it on that) Then I look at the opener but I’m not in that match either. I scan through and see my name placed around the middle of the page, then read across. MATCH 4: PAUL LONDON VS. CHRIS JERICHODamn that’s pretty cool. I get along with Chris well and despite management telling him to squash me, I’m sure he’ll let me have some offence. I get a tap on my shoulder and turn around its Dean Malenko. Dean: Hey Paul, I wanted to talk to you Paul: Yeah go ahead Dean: Management want me to tell you that they want to involve you in the Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho feud Shawn and Chris have been fighting back and forth for a while now. It’s been a great feud this far with a good friend of mine Lance Cade getting involved by being Jericho’s protégé. But I’ve been told stuff like this before, by “involve” they mean “job.” Meh, I’m fine with that working with Chris even if it’s just 3 minutes is a treat compared to my usual shows where I sit in backstage begging to be booked. Dean: Don’t expect much they just want you to put Chris over Paul: Yeah I’m fine with that Dean: I’ll see you later. We’ll talk the match over with Chris, alright? Paul: Yeah fine, fine. Dean spots another worker he’s been looking for and sets off to go and talk to them. Despite being booked I still don’t think I’m being utilised to my full potential. You know, maybe if I was in a different company I’d be used better. Maybe it’s time for a change? |

Hm, I think we may see something different here. Jericho will definitely be squashing London, no doubt, but I would love for you to have the 'E give London a mini-midcard push to keep him happy. I really don't want to see him leaving the WWE. Hopefully there is something to change his mind. This is definitely your comfort zone and your writing is so effective. Excellent job so far RD.

Well Jericho squashing London was expected. But I can see London fed up with this eventually.

WWE Raw- Part 3I’ve talked my match over with Chris (Jericho) and Dean (Malenko) they’re great friends and we put together a nice little match with a few spots for me to throw myself around. Now I’m waiting by the Gorilla position waiting with Chris and Lance (Cade) we’re having a bit of a joke waiting for Chris to make his entrance. Then he gets ushered to walk on and I wait alone ready for my entrance. I wait for Jericho and Cade to leave before limping out with an official under my arm as Raw goes to a commercial break. Back in the Gorilla Position Jericho is waiting for me. Ever the professional Chris thanks me for taking some of the bumps (especially the throw to the outside, which hurt like a mf’er) Chris pats me on the back (Right where it hurts from the floor bump) and goes to get dressed. As I make my way to the locker room Dean comes over to me and tells me Shawn went straight to Vince (McMahon) following the match. Why is Dean telling me, I’m not involved like, right? Anyway I got dressed, packed my bags and went to my car ready to go off to New York for the Great American Bash which is this Sunday. |
