BREAKING NEWS: WWE RELEASES PREMIER TAG TEAM

Even Earth-53 can't handle this down economy, as World Wrestling Entertainment (formerly known as Titan Sports) has been forced to cut costs and release some of the talent. So, no more shall we see the tag-team of Paul London and Billy Kidman grace our TV sets each week.

Now, this is a tragedy. We're making a note here, huge failure. It's hard to overstate our disappointment.



Seriously though, these guys have been a high-flying tag duo since January, 2004. It's depressing to think that these stars cannot shine anymore on USA and MyNetwork TV again! Dammit! We thought everything was supposed to change for the good when Obama got elected last week! But now...no more London and Kidman! They had such potential. All they needed was a killer gimmick to get over. Here's one we came up with years ago during a late night giggle fest:

The lights at the United Center in Chicago, IL drop as the crowd erupts. Who could be coming to the ring? Is it the Undertaker? Edge? Suddenly, two hooded figures appear in the center of the ring, illuminated by only two spotlights. The shrouded figure on the left puts the microphone to his mouth and removes his hood:

BK: I'm Billy S. Kidman, esq.

PL: And I'm Paul Theodore London! And together we are....

BK and PL: WYLD STALLIONS!

(brino weeno wownnnnnnnn!)

Who wouldn't love the idea of two time traveling valley boys using only their wits and talents to save rock and roll and win tag team gold? Apprently only Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Pat Patterson, Michael PS Hayes, Kevin Dunn, Ranjan Chibber, and everyone else on the writing staff who rejected our idea and filed multiple restraining orders on us (Call, please?). Still, they'd have been a wonderful comedy duo with loads of talent, easily the high point of any wrestling show. Alas, it is not to be.

Wait, the tag team broke up in the fall of 2004, and Kidman was released from his contract in July of 2005? Really? We had no idea. We never saw any of them on TV and forgot they existed.
