Teddy Long did a Q&A on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge’s YouTube channel and he had a lot to say about two former WWE executives.
Mac Davis joked that Long had some of his best segments with John Laurinaitis. Long said, “They were good because he didn’t know that I hated him in real life. He didn’t know it. I have no respect for a man that tried to stop me from feeding my family. A man that hated me for no reason. I’ve never done nothing to him. To come in my face and laugh and grin, it’s just unreal man.”
Long continued, “I had the opportunity with one of the referees, that me and him rode together. I’ll leave the name out. He came and told me exactly what he was making as a referee. He was making more money than me and I’m the General Manager running this company (in the storyline). That was all Laurinaitis’ deal. Like I told you, him and Mark Carrano are the worst two people on this planet.”
Long also said that Laurinaitis told him that they didn’t make Teddy Long action figures because people wouldn’t buy them. Long said that Laurinaitis was “probably” the guy that stopped WWE from selling t-shirts with his likeness.
During the Q&A, Long named Roman Reigns as one of his favorite wrestlers who are on TV today and said that LA Knight can step into his shoes when Roman leaves for Hollywood. He also named the Undertaker kidnapping angle as one of his favorite things he did when he was in WWE. Long also gave his take on Bray Wyatt and why the writers have missed the boat with him and he also praised the women’s division. Click below for the entire Q&A.
