Highspots: Brian Kendrick and Paul London's Excellent Adventures

139. Highspots: Brian Kendrick and Paul London's Excellent Adventures

Highspots: Brian Kendrick and Paul London's Excellent Adventures is not your standard wrestling shoot interview. That's made obvious when you notice that both guys are drinking beers and sharing a blunt at the beginning of things. Definitely sets the tone for what's to come.

I liked this shoot quite a bit. For me, I enjoy the interviews with more modern wrestlers because they tend to speak on issues that I'm familiar with. I have a lot of respect for the elder statesmen, so to speak, but a lot of the topics they touch on don't interest me at all. These guys aren't afraid to speak on any subject. Whether it be the reason for their releases from WWE or which diva slept around, they discussed it freely. It's not nearly as bitter and negative as you may expect. While the guys aren't afraid to bury folks who've rubbed them the wrong way, they're also quick to heap praise onto those who deserve it. With a running time of nearly 3 and a half hours, they cover a lot of ground.

The only negative I find in this one is the background. Apparently Highspots thought it would be clever to set up a green screen in the background so they could insert shots in post-production. It's a bit amusing at first but grates on you quite quickly. Especially considering that it's a pretty poor use of the technology anyway, often cutting faces off a bit. All in all, it's not that big of a deal though. The subject matter helps to negate the green screen.

Overall, this shoot lives up to its name...excellent. I highly recommend checking it out whether you're a fan of London and Kendrick or just shoots in general.
