Can London finally realize his destiny and win the ROH world title
on his last show? Will he get the sendoff he deserves? How emotional
will the scene be when London fights for the ROH world title on July
19th?
Paul London is considered by many to be the first true homegrown ROH
talent. Here is a look at some of his ROH career highlights:
-London breaks through and becomes a star at "Unscripted" with his
legendary street fight ladder match vs. Michael Shane.
-London and Bryan Danielson put on a classic at "Night Of The
Butcher" that sees London reach a new level of wrestling skill and
precision.
-Paul London almost captures the ROH title from Xavier at "Final
Battle 2002" in one of the most heated ROH title matches ever.
-London is part of a four-way that steals the show and puts the Four
Corner Survival style match on the map at "Revenge On The Prophecy."
-London puts on an unbelievable performance at the first anniversary
show in Queens, NY by wrestling for over 40 minutes. First he won a
three-way match of the year candidate against Low Ki & AJ Styles and
then once again he took ROH champion Xavier to the limit, only to
fall short once again.
-London returns from sinus cavity surgery at "The Epic Encounter" to
put on the match of his life against Bryan Danielson in a 40 plus
minute contest that is a strong match of the year candidate.
-London and Chris Daniels produce a classic at "Retribution: Round
Robin Challenge II."
-London and AJ Styles battle in another match of the year candidate
at "Night Of The Grudges."
No matter what success Paul London achieves in his career, no matter
what he accomplishes, London's body of work in Ring Of Honor will go
down in history for its emotion, class and athleticism. London is a
true artist who put his heart and soul into every match he had in
ROH. On July 19th he will leave his heart and soul in a ROH ring one
more time. This time he could leave ROH world champion.
