WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long is back this week on Sportskeeda’s WrestleBinge with a story about John Laurinaitis. Long has not been shy about talking about his issues with Laurinaitis when they were both in WWE.
Long said Laurinaitis blocked him from getting on the private plane Vince McMahon sent for him to appear at a show:
“They (WWE) wanted to send a private plane to me,” Long said. “Laurinaitis hated me so bad that he knocked that out. He made sure I didn’t get the plane and he made me drive it from somewhere, but I had to go to Pittsburgh, but Laurinaitis blocked me from getting on the jet and told them don’t do it and he made me drive it.”
Long continued, “So Vince didn’t even know that. See what I’m saying? So that’s what he would do behind Vince’s back that Vince didn’t even know. Vince didn’t even know and I never did talk about it, bring it up, because I knew that was gonna cause me problems, but he kept me from getting on the jet, on the private plane, and he made me drive it.”
